Ella Rae Wise is said to have split from businessman Ricky Lawrence just two months after the pair sparked marriage rumours.
The TOWIE star, 26, hinted she had secretly tied the knot to Ricky, 34, after going Instagram official while on holiday in Marbella in August.
Ella and Ricky's pal Lorri Haines, who is the fiancé of Ferne McCann, posted a photo of the couple where he wrote 'Congratulations to the newlyweds'.
She also flashed a gold Cartier ring on her finger during their stay at the luxurious Don Carlos Hotel.
But sources claim the former couple have called time on their romance following doubts from Ella's pals.
A source said: 'Ella and Ricky have decided they're not compatible long-term and have ended things. The relationship wasn't going anywhere and instead of wasting any more time, they decided it wouldn't last.

'They're at different stages of their life, Ella's in her 20s and has different priorities. Their romance was very hot and heavy at the start but it began to fizzle out and the chemistry alone wasn't enough.
'Ella is keen to move on, she's a busy career girl and wants to focus on that and if a new romance happens with someone new, then she's not ruling it out,' they added to The Sun.
The Daily Mail has contacted Ella's representatives for comment.
The split comes six months after she broke up with her on-and-off boyfriend Dan Edgar, who is now in a relationship with Chloe Lewis.
In May, Ella candidly shared that she is finding it 'really hard' to come to grips with Dan moving on with Chloe.
Ella dumped Dan, 36, in January 2025 – a week before she entered the Big Brother house – citing trust issues.
And appearing on brand new TOWIE podcast You Alright Hun? Ella opened up on navigating being around her ex-boyfriend, while also giving her verdict on his relationship with Chloe.
Speaking to host Denise Van Outen, she said it was a 'really hard situation', compounded by the fact that she and Dan were 'naturally drawn to each other' in group situations.

The TV personality said she felt 'very emotional' about the situation and was struggling to decide what to do moving forward, confessing she wished she had a 'crystal ball' so she knew which path to take.
'It was a lot,' Ella explained. 'And I think it's really hard to be around your ex anyway. Like, we all know that I don't have loads of friends on TOWIE don't we? So, he to me, he's a bit of my familiarity.
'Sometimes we are just drawn to each other, like, naturally. And it's not because we want to be disrespectful to the person that he's with or for people around us, it just happens.
'And like, I don't know, it's a really hard situation to be in. I don't think anyone can really comment unless they know...'
Getting candid about how she felt about Dan, she went on: 'I think I feel very emotional, obviously when I'm around him and I feel like when I'm out of it or I'm not around him and I'm like, I still give him a call, but I'm more me. Do you know what I mean?
'And then, I don't know, I just think I'm a bit confused. I'm away with the fairies with it all. I don't really know what to do. It's like, do I get over it? Do I wait? Oh, if I had a crystal ball, I'd rub it so hard.'
