Love Island winners Nathan Massey and Cara De La Hoyde split after rowing over ‘silly things’ but friends say they remain ‘amicable’

CARA De La Hoyde and boyfriend Nathan Massey have officially split, The Sun's Bizarre column can exclusively reveal.

The separation came after a string of "silly rows" which friends say led to the Love Island couple calling it quits.

A source said: "They've both mutually agreed to call it quits.

"It hasn't been an easy decision but in the end they decided things would be better apart.

"They stayed really amicable and will definitely do all they can to be friendly."

Cara and Nathan won Love Island in July last year and bagged a £50,000 prize in doing so.

Their split comes after The Sun reported that Cara had moved out of their home last month and was living with a friend.

At the time a source said: “Nathan and Cara have always had a fiery relationship with plenty of ups and downs.

“But their latest bust-up is their biggest yet and it’ll be tough for them to come back from this.”

After winning Love Island last summer the pair landed a series of lucrative magazine deals and were hoping to increase their profile further by securing their own reality show after impressing on Towie.

However, towards the end of last year Nathan indicated their relationship was not straight-forward given they've only known each other for a relatively small amount of time.

On living together in Essex, he said: “There have been arguments. I’m not the easiest person to live with.

“But you forget we’ve only known each other for six months.”
