Saffron Barker has confirmed she’s split from her boyfriend Tyler Dixon after fans began speculating about her relationship status.
The YouTuber, who appeared on Strictly Come Dancing in 2019, took to her Instagram story in November to announce the sad news less than a year after he moved into her £1million Sussex mansion.
But, although they’re no longer an item, Saffron has insisted there’s “no bad blood” between her and her ex.
“Ty and I aren’t together anymore but there is absolutely no bad blood and we will always stay friends,” she told her followers during an Instagram Q&A.
Speaking about the split, a source told The Sun, “Everyone thought Saffron and Ty had split in October when she went on holiday and spent time with Love Island star Biggs. They didn’t actually end things until this week when they decided it just wasn’t working.
“Saffron is still so young and is super busy with work – it’s just a shame after they grew so close during lockdown.”
