and recently split nearly a year after meeting on ’s , and it seems things aren’t completely amicable.
Following Davide has been posting photos during a trip to Spanish island Formentera.
When it came to choosing a caption for his idyllic snap he wrote: ‘The secret to happiness is freedom, and the secret of freedom is courage.’
This attracted messages from passionate Ekin-Su fans who accused him of using a ‘tasteless’ caption, which is targeted at her.
Quick to clear things up, the 28-year-old wrote: ‘And for the record, not everything I post is about Ekin.’
Things didn’t end there as shared an alleged screenshot of his response to a comment, in which he brought Ekin-Su’s mother Sezer into the equation.
‘At least her mum will have another man to manipulate,’ the screenshot reads.
Social media users didn’t react kindly: ‘Don’t bash Ekin’s mom now. People shouldn’t be attacking Davide, it’s over it’s just a breakup. But, bashing her parents and saying she is manipulative is so low. No respect at all.’
‘Really really low of him to bring down her mother, thought he was a family man,’ added another.
This comes after Davide posted a statement in response to days of speculation about their romance and where the cracks were formed.
He wrote: ‘Did anyone even think how difficult would be for me to post the story knowing that right now all I needed was actually some peace and privacy?
‘Posting publicly about the breakup was extremely difficult yet necessary, despite the urge to keep it private, and contrary to what Chinese whispers are saying, I didn’t blindside her as she was fully aware of my intention to post and at first, she even agreed to post at the same time, she did change her mind last minute though.’
Davide hit out at ‘fake narratives’ and a ‘stream of toxic criticism circulating around me’, stressing that he was a ‘genuine, caring and loving boyfriend for her’.
Ekin-Su, 28, is yet to post on social media since the split.
It may right now feel like love is dead – especially because of – but let’s all just rock ourselves to sleep with the memories of their iconic enemies-to-lovers story arch on the 2022 edition of the ITV dating show.
