It’s over (again) for Jack Fincham and Dani Dyer.

The Love Island season 4 winners split for the second time since the popular British reality series wrapped last summer.

“There is no easy way to say this and it isn’t going to be an easy time but me and Dani are not in a relationship anymore,” Fincham, 27, wrote Wednesday on his Instagram Story, according to Capital FM. “We will always care a lot for each other and have love for each other and I mean that from the bottom of my heart and I wish her nothing but happiness. We have some amazing memories together and have been through a lot but sometimes things aren’t meant to be and we really did try to make it work but It unfortunately didn’t and that is life.”

He added: “That’s all I have to say, a break up is hard enough as it is for both of us let alone in the public eye so I hope everyone is considerate and understands this.”

Dyer, 23, said she wishes her ex “all the best” and denied rumors that they had ended their relationship as a publicity stunt for her new book, What Would Dani Do?

“To be honest, I’d rather be with someone going through a book tour, it’d be nice to have that,” she told HuffPost UK. “But no … it ain’t nice, I don’t think there’s ever a right time for a break-up, is there?”

Fincham and Dyer — the daughter of EastEnders actor Danny Dyer — had briefly broken up after six months together last December but reconciled a week later.

Airing six nights a week in the U.K., Love Island drops sexy singles into a villa in Mallorca, monitoring their every move Big Brother-style. Contestants “couple up,” sharing a beds and hoping to ignite a spark, but they can “pie off” their partners if they’re interested in someone new. People get dumped off the island, new hotties test relationships, and in the end, the most popular couple wins £50,000.

It’s also gained a devoted U.S. audience thanks to Hulu, which is currently streaming all four seasons. And in August, CBS secured the rights to an American version of Love Island.
