Love Island star Jourdan Riane has broken her silence on her split from Danny Williams, and suggests he was ‘dishonest’ in a scathing statement.
The 24-year-old model confirmed the end of their relationship on Wednesday, after reports claimed she dumped him after finding out he was allegedly partying with other women.
In a statement posted on Instagram, Jourdan stated: ‘I have to respect me first.’
The model went on to explain: ‘I genuinely had such a great time in my relationship and I don’t regret the decisions I’ve made as far as choosing to give someone a chance however, I have boundaries.
‘In a relationship there are things I won’t tolerate. Lack of respect, disloyalty & dishonesty are amongst those things. I know people will come with the “I told you so”, “you should’ve listened” (maybe it’s true) & more than likely snigger/laugh at my situation.’
Citing some words of wisdom from her mother, Jourdan continued: ‘The reality is my mum raised me to be a strong woman and always give the benefit of the doubt and let people prove themselves to you. Which is what I did.
‘I went into this with a genuine heart & real intention to make it work. The love was as real as the hurt is now. But…. I will continue to grow and love myself first. If it doesn’t feel right, it’s not right.’
Danny, 21, is yet to speak out about the break-up.
News of the split emerged yesterday when a source told The Sun that Jourdan confronted the model about him allegedly ‘flirting’ with other women.
‘Jourdan started to hear rumours he was speaking to other girls behind her back. She confronted him about it but he just laughed it off,’ the insider said.
‘Next thing she knows, Jourdan is getting messages from girls saying Danny he’s been flirting with them and then she hears he’s spent all night partying with loads of random women.’
They added: ‘She called him and told him it was over and that he wouldn’t be wasting her time anymore.’
Danny reportedly didn’t put up a fight when Jourdan broke off their romance.
It comes just a month after Danny and Jourdan moved into their first home together, and three months after they met on this year’s series of ITV2’s hit dating show.
They’re not the only couple to split this month as Ovie Soko and India Reynolds also ended their romance last week.
