couple and have called it quits on their relationship just three months after exiting the South African villa.
The 25-year-olds began their romance while looking for love on the 2 dating show and quickly developed a liking for one another during their time on telly.
Despite appearing together regularly on social media, it has been said they have decided to go their separate ways not long after they came in second place on the show.
The budding stars found a connection with each other on the winter version of the much-loved series that aired earlier this year and was hosted by Maya Jama.
Seeming to confirm the rumours, a source explained that they were struggling with busy work schedules and distance.
‘Lana and Ron really put everything into their romance and have tried to make things work for some time now,’ a source revealed to .
They continued: ‘Unfortunately, they have decided to separate, which is a decision they have made amicably and of course, they still remain good friends.
‘Commuting from Manchester to Essex and back again whenever they wanted to spend time together, as well as managing their work commitments just proved too difficult.’
Despite the news of a breakup, Ron posted snaps of himself with his rumoured ex hours ago and has been commenting underneath her personal pictures on Instagram – penning, ‘Proud, deserve the world x [sic]’ one day ago.
In the past, Ron has admitted to turbulent times within their relationship – glimpses of which fans saw during the blossoming of their romance on TV – and made reference to their long-distance living situation.
He told The Sun: ‘It’s not forever. Every relationship at some point, it’s natural to move in together.
‘It’s weird we get so many questions like “When are you moving in?” and you’re like… baring in mind we’ve only been together a couple of months, one of her big goals and one of my big goals is to buy a place up there, and down here, have our own bases.
‘Then when we’re ready, it could be six months, a year, two years, I don’t know, then we’ll buy together.
‘I can see myself going up there, I can. I feel like leaving my friends and family would be like hard, but for her I’d do it. I don’t care. So that would be the natural profession.
‘But right now, we’ve been out five/six weeks, I think we spend six or seven days apart, everyone sort of grilled me I think for when I said I want to miss her.
‘When I’m not with her, it’s actually quite hard. It’s well hard.’
Metro.co.uk contacted Ron and Lana’s reps for comment.
