James Arthur and his long-term girlfriend Jessica Grist have reportedly split up.
The singer first started dating Jessica in 2012 when she was a backup dancer on the season he won X Factor.
However, the two split up in 2015 before getting back together again two years later.
A source said: “James and Jessica have a lot of history, so they will always have a special place in each other’s hearts."
“But the truth is they have just grown apart and decided it wasn’t working anymore," the source continued to The Sun.
"There was no big drama and they are still friends, but it is nevertheless a blow for both of them because they have been together for such a long time."
Mirror have contacted James Arthur's reps for comment.
According to the insider, James has been focusing on making music and he "recently signed a new record deal".
The 33-year-old recently opened up about sleeping around and treating girls badly after his time on X Factor.
Speaking on the True Geordie Podcast, James said his behaviour "definitely became a problem" and he now feels bad about his antics.
He said: "All of a sudden there was no graft involved at all with getting girls and I just thought this was it, it was normal it was the culture.
"You don't have to work hard. So you go and do a show, you get a girl and, before you know it, you're just DM-ing girls left and right and sex becomes the focus."
He went on to admit he "broke a few hearts" and treated some women badly.
James explained: "I'm not exactly f**king Brad Pitt or owt but I broke a few hearts along the way and I definitely treated some girls in a way that I regret."
