Joey Essex is single once more after splitting from stunning Brazilian model Brenda Santos.
The former TOWIE star, 30, started dating the brunette beauty in May, following his split from Lorena Medina, who he met on Celebrity Ex on the Beach.
Joey and Brenda spent lockdown living together in close quarters, but have since gone their separate ways.
Joey's representatives confirmed to Mirror Online that he and Brenda had split amicably a couple of weeks ago.
The reality hunk has already removed all of his loved-up pictures with Brenda from his Instagram account as he heads back into the single life.
An insider told The Sun : "Joey was smitten with Brenda and it was a classic whirlwind romance between them.
"He even whisked her off on a romantic break to Ibiza. They made a lovely couple and she was the main attraction at his 30th birthday party in July, where she met all of his friends and family.
"But spending so much time together took its toll and they both admitted they needed space. Brenda has left Joey’s mansion in Essex and gone back to her place in London."
The source added that they were both being very "adult" about the whole thing and had agreed that it was better for them to end their romance.
It's said there are no bad feelings between the pair, but that things just simply didn't work out.
Joey has been very reflective on social media lately.
His last post saw him sitting at Bilingsgate Fish Market, gazing off into the distance.
He captioned it: "Remember where you came from....."
Getting philosophical, he also recently shared a snap of himself with a blue sky as his backdrop.
He penned: "I was looking up at the sky today. And it just reminded me. THE SKY IS THE LIMIT"
