OHMYGOSSIP — Mike Boateng has confirmed his split from Priscilla Anyabu.
The former ‘Love Island’ star broke up with his partner – who he met on the show – after 15 months of dating, and now he has revealed lockdown put a strain on their relationship.
He told Capital XTRA’s Will Njobvu: “We’re not together anymore. It was never really a bad breakup, in fact it wasn’t a bad breakup at all, we just had a mature conversation.
“I think we were together for 15 months, and like any couple, a lot of things happen, nothing bad where someone cheated on somebody or anything like that.
“We just kind of … lockdown was tough for us, didn’t really have a lot of space away from each other, we had a grown-up conversation, like adults, saying in order to save our friendship, maybe we have to take time away as a couple.”
While Mike admitted nothing is certain, he clarified that he’s back on the market.
He added: “You never know what’s going to happen in life, but for now yeah, Mike is single.”
Mike admitted spending so much time together during the pandemic made them realise their relationship wasn’t working.
He said: “That was the period that made it tough for us, because we were together all the time. We never really had no space away from each other.”
And the star – who formed the show’s first Black pairing with Leanne Amaning before finding love with Priscilla – noted they both felt “pressure” from fans to live up to expectations.
He admitted: “There was a lot of pressure as well, the whole Black love thing, everyone wanted it. I’m not going to lie, even though we said we didn’t feel the pressure, we felt the pressure, so it was tough.”
