Binky Felstead and Josh 'JP' Patterson have reportedly split up
The former 'Made in Chelsea' stars only welcomed their first child, daughter India, into the world 15 months ago, but they are now said to be no longer "romantically involved"
19 September 2018
A source told The Sun Online: "They felt under pressure to stay together for India but after months of trying have realised it's better for everyone if they separate. Josh absolutely loves being a father to India and runs a number of his own businesses which keep him busy and Binky has a lot of separate commitments too. Binky even showed her support for Josh as he completed the Berlin marathon this weekend in a wheelchair."
Though the pair are no longer a couple, they will still both co-parent their little girl and continue to spend quality time together as a family.
The source added: "The pair definitely will continue to enjoy each other's company as a family but are no longer romantically involved."
The split will no doubt come as a surprise to fans of the couple - who had their own show 'Born in Chelsea' documenting their transition into parenthood - as Binky admitted earlier this year that having India had made herself and JP closer as a couple.
She said: "It's made us really close. I love the homely feel and him coming in from work and one of us cooking - you really appreciate family time."
Binky, 28, was shocked when she first found out she was having a baby as it wasn't planned.
She previously admitted: "My first reaction when I saw the test, honestly? It was 's**t'. My heart stopped. I burst into tears. Josh and I weren't talking at the time and I was really overwhelmed."
The on/off couple first started seeing each other during episode 10 of the E4 reality series in August 2015.
After a brief break, the pair got back together in March 2017, just weeks before Binky found out she was expecting India.
Binky and JP are yet to comment publically on their relationship status.
