Love Island winner Julia confirms she and Lorenzo have split just two months after winning the show despite attending the NTAs hand in hand as she admits 'my heart is a little broken'

Love Island's Julia Majchrzak has confirmed she and Lorenzo Alessi have split just two months after winning the show.

The fan-favourite couple, who bagged the £50,000 prize money, attended the National Television Awards together on Tuesday.

Despite appearing like they were still going strong, Julia has now revealed that they went their separate ways after 'things fizzled out' last week.

Sharing a series of snaps of them together at the NTAs, Julia penned: 'A little life update.

'I attended the NTAs alongside Lorenzo, and it felt like the right way to celebrate our journey and the chapter we shared together. I'm incredibly grateful and it was an honour to be there to support.

'Since leaving the villa, we've come to the decision to go our separate ways. Some chapters are special even if they're not meant to last forever.

'We shared an unforgettable experience together, and those memories will always hold a special place in my heart. I'm looking forward to everything this next chapter has in store for both of us.'

Lorenzo is yet to comment on their split.

Julia's post comes just hours after she broke down in tears over her split from Lorenzo during an interview with Polish publication, Super Express.

She said: 'It's been hard for us this past week. Even the entire time we left the villa. But life in the villa is completely different from life outside.

'We're disconnected from the outside world, from our phones… Two months removed from the world. We were getting to know each other there and getting along great, but it wasn't real life—we were disconnected from everything.

'And then suddenly, when we entered real life, everything was quite overwhelming. But we felt the pressure, we tried to navigate it all together, but there's a certain stress about it all.'

Julia added: 'And we really decided that it was time to just go our separate ways and go our separate ways for now.'

The Polish-born beauty then broke down in tears admitting she was struggling and 'no one could understand me like he does'.

'What's meant to happen, will happen. This is all very fresh. No one else will understand me like he does, because we've been through it together, so we share that experience, but at this point, we've made this decision,' Julia said.

Last month Lorenzo made a bold move to show his commitment towards Julia after she accused him of 'embarrassing her'.

Five days after landing back in the UK, they have only been on one date, and had a car crash interview on This Morning amid fears they had already split.

During an appearance on Capital XTRA a few days later, Julia said Lorenzo 'embarrassed' her by liking photos of models when they left the villa, but none of hers.

Lorenzo said it was simply because her photos hadn't ended up on his feed yet, but Julia hit out at his behaviour.

And it looks like he's taken notes, as he then liked a photo of Julia from the Love Island reunion party, which took place days later.

Taking to Instagram the following day, the beauty posted a stunning snap of her in a jaw-dropping black lace dress with a corset underneath.

Referencing his prior excuse, Lorenzo commented: 'All over my feed.'

He also liked other posts and commented underneath: 'Liked by Lorenzo.'

Just days before, Julia was asked about Lorenzo's social media 'like-spree' in a car crash radio interview.

Julia raged: 'Guys, this is not funny. He's already embarrassed me online... He had no time to arrange a date in five days, but was sat in bed liking other girls' Instagram pictures.'

Lorenzo then tried to explain himself by saying: 'This is the thing. I feel like why I didn't want to rush things in the villa...

'We're not running around getting married tomorrow. I'm learning how to be in a committed relationship, and I'm learning what is acceptable and what is not.'

He continued: 'To be 100 per cent honest, it was pure naivety. I did not think it would be picked up by the press... These are now real-world things that we can experience together.'

Julia then took out her phone to see if Lorenzo had liked her own Instagram pictures – but he had not.

She then said: 'Did you even have time to like my photos? Guess what guys, he's not under my Instagram!'

Lorenzo laughed off the moment saying her posts hadn't come up on his feed yet.

It comes after their awkward This Morning interview earlier this week, which was the first time they had been seen together since landing in the UK from Mallorca.

Josie Gibson asked a squirming Lorenzo: 'Now there's a lot of rumours that you're not together... Are you together? And what is this terminology?'

As Julia sat stony-faced beside him, Lorenzo then replied: 'As we've left the villa, we're still in the same place – exclusively dating...'

To which Julia cut in: 'Yes, we are still dating'.

Lorenzo said it's been a 'crazy few days' since the final and that he believes 'everything needs to settle down' and then 'we're going to go on some lovely dates'.

Julia then bluntly replied: 'Where's the date?'

Josie then asked whether the couple had said the 'L–word' yet, to which Lorenzo replied: 'No but it's going that way.'

'Feelings are developing, it's in the right position… so I feel like give it some time.'

The clothing business owner then said he planned to take Julia to a rooftop bar for their first date.

She responded: 'When?' and later on said yet again: 'When's my date?' before awkwardly asking him, 'When was the last time we saw each other?'

Lorenzo then said the date had 'a lot of planning involved'.

They did go for dinner together that evening and posted to their socials, but that appears to be the only date they have been on since leaving the villa.
