Love Island’s Ekin- Su finally breaks her silence following split from Davide after online break
EKIN-SU Cülcüloğlu has broken her silence following her split from Davide Sanclimenti.
The Turkish actress returned to social media today after images emerged of Davide partying on a boat in Ibiza, just hours after announcing their break up.
Ekin, who has been spending time with her family, told fans this evening: “Hi everyone, I thought it was time to come back online to thank you so much for all of your messages over the past two weeks.
“It has shown me what a kind, supportive, strong community I have behind me.
“I took some much needed time away with my family which has been really special but now it’s time to realign and get back to work.”
She added: “I have such an exciting year ahead and I want to fully focus on that.”
Ekin finished by thanking everyone again for their support.
Davide first announced they had split last month, while Ekin remained silent.
He said: “Ekin Su and I are no longer together.
“I am grateful for the memories and opportunities we shared together and I wish her nothing but the best.
“I would like for everybody to respect the decision during this difficult time. I will continue to support Ekin in anyway possible.”
Turkish actress and model Ekin-Su, 28, and Italian businessman Davide, 27, triumphed in the final of the reality TV show last summer.
They managed to beat finalists Luca Bish and Gemma Owen, and Tasha Ghouri and Andrew Le Page, despite a rocky romance, and they moved in together shortly after leaving the villa.
Viewers were gripped by the ups and downs of their Love Island journey last year which included plenty of fireworks and Davide spawning an iconic catchphrase when he branded Ekin “an actress and a liar” in an explosive row.
But the couple were dogged by rumours of Davide cheating with models, and Ekin confronted him over a suspected fling earlier this year — branding his lover a “f***ing slag”.
The Sun on Sunday saw messages from Ekin accusing the woman of “sleeping with my boyfriend” back in April.
Ekin also took aim at another Instagram model after finding texts from the woman on Davide’s phone.
