Love Island's Wes Nelson and Arabella Chi split after nine months as he moves out

Love Island stars Wes Nelson and Arabella Chi have called time on their relationship after nine months together, according to reports.

Wes, 22, has moved out of their shared home in London after several fights with Arabella, 28.

The couple had both starred on Love Island on separate series, and Wes said earlier this year their relationship was "going so, so well".

But a report in The Sun revealed they have gone their separate ways, and their six year age gap was a contributing factor.

The source said: "It's all over. They started to grow apart and the age gap became really noticeable between them.

"They want to remain civil with each other and hope to remain friends."

"There’s been no funny business, no cheating or anything like that, it’s just fizzled out between them."

MirrorOnline has reached out to a rep for Wes and Arabella for comment.

Wes is now living with his friend Josh Denzel, who also starred on Love Island, and Josh's girlfriend.

He was pictured in Primrose Hill exercising today with Josh, looking happy and care free.

Meanwhile, Arabella posted an "inner peace" quote before taking a quiet walk along the river bank near her home, also looking chilled out and unbothered by the split.

Wes said in February that they were in no rush to get married and claimed they wanted to keep their relationship out of the public eye.

We've taken it easy and been low key with our relationship, especially to begin with," he said.

"It's been good keeping everything out of the public eye. It's just been like a normal relationship.

He added that being in the public eye adds pressure to move things along faster than you usually would. But Wes said he and model Arabella ignored all the pressure and moved at their own pace.

But they did move in together after just three months of dating, in November last year.

The couple took to Instagram to show off their new love nest as they unpacked their household appliances and unpacked their boxes.
