LOVE Island's Wes Nelson and Arabella Chi have split after nine months of dating, The Sun Online can reveal.

Wes, 22, has moved out of their shared home after he and 28-year-old Arabella grew apart – with the six-year age gap said to have been a factor.

A source close to the couple told us "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."

Our insider went on to add: "There’s been no funny business, no cheating or anything like that, it’s just fizzled out between them."

A rep confirmed the split to The Sun Online.

We can reveal that Wes is now living with his fellow Love Island alumni Josh Denzel and Josh's girlfriend after moving out of his and Arabella's home.

He appeared to be in high spirits as he was spotted exercising in Primrose Hill with the couple earlier today.

Meanwhile, Arabella has been documenting her solo walks around London and home workouts on Instagram.

The break-up comes just months after the pair decided to move in together, with Arabella telling fans in December that she was moving out of her flat of eight years to set up home with Wes.

The Sun Online revealed that the pair were dating back in July, after they grew close over a series of romantic dinners together.

They confirmed their romance the following month and went on to enjoy intimate holidays together to the Maldives and Ibiza.

There was no sign of trouble in paradise less than a month ago, when Arabella took to Instagram to gush over her hunky beau on his birthday.

The model wrote at the time: "It’s a very special day today because it's this special person's birthday.

"You deserve a medal @wes.nelson. You really do get me and I love you."

Prior to that, the beauty had teased a reality TV series following their relationship as she praised their "normal" romance in the industry.

Wes shot to fame in the 2018 series of Love Island, where he coupled up with Megan Barton-Hanson.

The pair lasted a few months outside of the villa but ultimately split at the beginning of 2019 when he grew close to his Dancing On Ice partner Vanessa Bauer.

The pair had looked set to rekindle their romance before Megan discovered he had been sending “rude messages” to Amber Davies.

Arabella was a bombshell arrival in the 2019 series of the ITV2 dating show, where she briefly coupled up with Danny Williams.

Her arrival sparked outrage as Danny snubbed current partner Yewande Biala to be with her – getting the Irish beauty dumped from the villa.

However, Arabella was dumped shortly afterwards, and was left stunned when Danny swiftly moved onto a third woman, Jourdan Riane.
