Jesy Nelson and Chris Hughes have reportedly split up after a 16-month romance.

The Little Mix singer and the former Love Island contestant are thought to have called time on their relationship while isolating in separate homes during the coronavirus lockdown.

A source told The Sun Online that the pair remain “very amicable” despite the rumoured break-up and are both “absolutely fine” with the decision.

“Jesy and Chris split up a couple of weeks ago,” they told the publication.

“It was all very amicable and they’re still really good friends.

“They had a chat on the phone about their relationship and both agreed that it felt like it had run its course - they’re both absolutely fine.”

The pair, who regularly post photos of one another on social media, are yet to confirm the split personally.

A representative for Nelson declined to comment when contacted by Standard Online. Hughes' rep is yet to respond.

Nelson, 28, previously confirmed that she was not isolating with Hughes in an interview with Australia’s Sunday Telegraph.

“Chris isn’t with me right not because he is in isolation with his flatmate, so I haven’t seen him for a while,” she told the paper.

Hughes and Nelson were first linked in January 2019 when they were spotted on a date at a Harry Potter-themed bar in London.

In her acclaimed BBC documentary Odd One Out, Nelson spoke of how Hughes helped to support her through her body image and self-confidence issues.

She later thanked him in her acceptance speech at the National Television Awards in January, praising him for “bringing [her] up every day and making [her] feel confident.”
