Geordie Shore’s Marnie Simpson and popstar boyfriend Casey Johnson split after blazing rows eight months after buying first house together
MARNIE Simpson and X Factor star Casey Johnson have split after a series of blazing rows, The Sun Online can reveal.
The couple, who made their relationship official in July last year, bought their first house together in November.
Friends of Casey’s told The Sun Online the couple had been struggling to see eye-to-eye over the past few months.
An insider said: “Casey and Marnie have been at loggerheads and tensions have been bubbling up for ages now.
“They were having screaming matches and it all got a bit too much.
“Marnie is working hard at growing her businesses and is an independent woman – Casey told people he was struggling with that. He’s not as busy as her and he told us it was hard.
“They tried to make it work but they just kept rowing constantly and decided it was better to end things.”
After ending their romance the pair swiftly unfollowed one another on social media.
The Sun Online has contacted Marnie and Casey’s representatives for comment.
Marnie, 26, and 22-year-old Casey fell head over heels for each other when they were filming new MTV show Single AF together.
They bought a house together in November and were pictured looking more in love than ever after getting the keys.
Earlier this year Marnie quit Geordie Shore after five years on screen.
A source at the time told The Sun Online: “Marnie has loved her time on Geordie Shore but it's time for her to move on.
“She will still be around for this series but that's it - she won't return for the next.”
