Sophie Hermann and Tom Zanetti have been all loved up on Made in Chelsea this series.
But it seems their love bubble is all over as the German beauty, 34, and English singer and DJ, 31, have split up.
A source told The Sun: “It was a shock to everyone because they seemed so in love, but it was so intense meeting on CGD, then moving in together on MIC – it was a lot, very soon.
“At the end of the day, she lives in London, he’s up in Leeds for his son, and while it worked when they were living together and on TV, it didn’t work out in real life.”
And… AND… they have unfollowed each other on Instagram.
Oh well, that’s sad. Let’s have a little look back at their romance. How did the exes actually meet? And what did their friends think about their relationship?

However, they were supposed to match with strangers presented to them by the dating experts.
Initially Tom was very flirty with a couple of women. And Sophie was delighted when her personal trainer entered the house as a potential suitor.
But ultimately they fell for one another.
The couple were nicknamed The Duchess and Thomas O’Malley the alley cat from The Aristocats for their rather unlikely pairing.
While they certainly make an incredibly good looking pair – they couldn’t be from further worlds apart.

Sophie grew up in Germany and Switzerland and is from a very well-off background.
Meanwhile, Tom is a single dad who grew up in Leeds on a council estate and is completely self-made.
Despite their differing upbringings they’ve continued their relationship past the show.
And now Tom even appears on Made in Chelsea.
What have they said about their relationship?
Both parties gushed about how much they were into each other.
Sophie even defended Tom on a recent episode of MIC.
She told Ollie Locke and his husband Gareth: “I’ve met this man, his name is Tom Zanetti, I’m not sure if you’ve heard of him. He’s a DJ.”
To which a rather snobby Ollie replied: “This is your bit of rough?”
Sophie replied: “He is such a lovely man and he makes me laugh.
“And I love that I only understand half of what he says – it’s like Brad Pitt in Snatch.”
Meanwhile, Tom told Fabulous magazine that Sophie was his ultimate celebrity crush.
He said: “I’ve been seeing the Duchess, Sophie Hermann. So I’ll give it to her.”
When did Tom Zanetti join Made in Chelsea?
Tom made his debut on Made in Chelsea as Sophie’s significant other on Monday April 12, 2021.
He surprised her at her birthday celebration in the Cotswolds.
As Julius Cowdrey serenaded her, Tom waltzed in – delighting Sophie.
He then gifted her with a lovely portrait of the couple.
Was their relationship the real deal?
As far as we can tell, their relationship was the real deal.
But Tom opened up about how staged he finds Made in Chelsea as a reality show.
Speaking to FUBAR radio, he said: “In a way, yes, it is set up. They’ll set up an amazing setting and a backdrop and then you’re given a topic to discuss.
“That doesn’t discredit it at all. It was set up but, then you’ve got to film it so many times from so many different angles. And then, you get the wides, and then you get the pretties and then you get this and that.”
When is Made in Chelsea next on?
Made in Chelsea continues on Mondays on E4 at 9pm.
Episodes can also be streamed on the All4 app.
