There is no bad blood or wrong doing - it was a mutual decision and completely amicable decision. We tried to work things out over the past couple of months but decided this was for the best, and are both at peace with the situation. I am grateful to Eva and her family for the past 4 years and will cherish those memories, and wish her all the best going forward. Thank you all for your continued love and support, I really do appreciate it."

A source told the Sun that it was Eva's decision to end the relationship, saying that it happened in the middle of last month. The source described it as a "very sad situation" for both Eva and Nas, though said it's "the right one". Nas is said to have been left "heartbroken" and moved out of their shared flat and in with his parents as he "searches for somewhere to live".
The source said: "There was no cheating but Eva thought the relationship had ran its course and decided to end it. They seemed to be the fairytale couple and one of the best success stories of Love Island - but there was obviously problems with their relationship. Eva is understandably sad but said it's the best thing for her."
