Georgia Love finally breaks silence on 'split' from husband Lee Elliott as she jets off to New York without him

Georgia Love has finally addressed rumours that she's split from her husband, Lee Elliott, after weeks of speculation.

The former Bachelorette star, 35, has been fuelling the online gossip this month after she was spotted not wearing her wedding ring on several occasions.

She sparked further rumours when she jetted off to New York without Lee on Boxing Day, while he spent Christmas with his family.

Taking to Instagram on Friday, Georgia shared a heartwarming selfie with her friend who is living in the Big Apple.

'8 months without my best friend, 24 hours travel and a million tears before I even made it upstairs. Welcome to New York,' she captioned her post.

But fans seemed to be more interested in Lee's whereabouts.

'Is Lee with you too?' one follower asked, while several accused the couple of separating.

Georgia quickly responded by stating she and Lee are well and truly still together, denying recent reports despite not being seen together in months.

'We didn't [split], actually. Best to stop speculating, least of all on my own page,' she said.

'If I had anything to tell you all, I would do so myself.'

Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Georgia Love and Lee Elliott on multiple occasions regarding the status of their relationship. Neither have responded.

Georgia recently sparked speculation about the split after attending a Christmas party with friends, seemingly without Lee.

Several photos also showed her without her diamond engagement ring and wedding ring on her finger.

In one photo, Georgia sat next to a man who was wearing a ring on his finger - perhaps a married friend - while she was busy fiddling with a toy found inside a Christmas bonbon.

Rumours there was trouble in paradise first began earlier this month when fans noticed Georgia wasn't wearing her wedding ring.

A recent clip showed Georgia decorating her Christmas tree at home and there was nothing on her left ring finger.

Another photo captured her having a drink at an outdoor café with an attractive male friend and she was also not wearing her ring.

Fans took to the comment section on the photos to ask if she and Lee had called time on their relationship.

'Thinking [they] have broken up,' one fan speculated and another asked if Lee would be accompanying Georgia on her trip to New York City.

'Haven't seen post of them together for a long time,' a third person wrote and another speculated if they would be 'the first Bachelor divorce'.

Elsewhere, another person asked 'Where is Lee?' in the clip Georgia posted about her upcoming New York holiday, and the reality TV star responded: 'He's literally in the video.'

The pair met and fell in love in front of the cameras, as Georgia chose Lee as her winning suitor on the 2016 season of Channel Ten's The Bachelorette. 

In 2021, Georgia and Lee married at the Frogmore Creek Winery outside Hobart, followed by an outdoor reception at the Shene Distillery.

Georgia and Lee were due to marry in Italy the year prior, but were forced to cancel due to Covid travel bans.

The following year, they moved into their $1.3million townhouse in Melbourne's upmarket suburb of Hampton East.

At the time, Georgia was force to address rumours the pair had split after she was spotted without her engagement and wedding rings during an outing in Melbourne.
