Lauren Goodger and Charles Drury have split.
They welcomed daughter Larose together four months ago, but the builder and semi-professional footballer, who once dated Katie Price, has announced that they're relationship is over.
Charles wrote on Instagram : "Only going to post this once, me & Lauren have decided to go our separate ways.
"Things must remain civil for the sake of our daughter, Lauren is great mum so when it comes to Larose we both have her best interest at heart so she will still see us both."
The shock split comes not long after former TOWIE star Lauren confessed that she was so busy being a mum she often forgot about her relationship.
She was asked by a fan during an Instagram Q&A: "How has your relationship changed since having a baby?"
Lauren replied: "Yes we became a family so it's not just us anymore it's all about her, I can get so wrapped up in being a mum it's important to remember the relationship also."
Lauren, 34, and Charles, 24, became parents for the first time in July.
Back in August, sources said she was patiently waiting for him to pop the question.
An insider told Heat Magazine at the time: "Lauren is ready for Charles to propose.
"She and Charles have talked about marriage. They’d like to wait until Larose is old enough to be a flower girl, but Lauren would love to get engaged now, to show everyone how happy they are.
"Lauren’s never been happier. She’s got the baby she always wanted and the man. She always knew Charles would be a great dad, but she can’t get over how amazing he is.
"He’s really looking after both of them. Her life has changed she much in the last year, and she’s so grateful to Charles for helping her love again."
And when asked about whether or not he was going to propose during a Q&A session on Instagram, Charles said: "She knew I was answering these questions. Lauren is just waiting for the day I get down on one knee - all in good time."
Lauren has previously explained how she came up with her baby girl's unique name.
She told OK! Online: "I decided to call her Larose because my great-nan was called Rose and I’m named Lauren Rose after her.
"So I decided to name my daughter after me. It feels so special to be able to name my baby that."
