He wrote: “Never did I think the time would come for Jake and I to part ways. Unfortunately, it is with an extremely heavy heart I acknowledge that Jake and I are splitting up. Will we get back together? Will this just be a temporary split? These are questions that only time will answer.”

Austin, who flirted with James Hill during his time on CBB, praised Jake for being there for him no matter what – during the “darkest times” in his life.

“Burying my brother, losing my mom to prison for two and a half years, dealing with the emotional outfall of all of that, he has been right there by my side giving me the support I needed. He is an incredible man and I wish him nothing but happiness,” he wrote.

He went on to say that a decade after meeting they have “become two different people with two different ideas of what we want from life”.

They divided their time between the UK and US and it was only last year that Jake got a green card.

The LGBT campaigner was delighted when he was finally able to call Jake his husband in the US.

The reality star had made no secret of his love of living in the UK though, particularly the North and admitted that he “loves his British family to death.”

 

His emotional break up essay ended with him revealing he wouldn’t be back on the dating scene anytime soon.

“I wish Jake nothing but happiness in his life. I want him to smile, laugh, live and love! What does the future hold for me? Never know. I am in no rush at all to download any dating apps or meet anybody. If somethings comes along, let it be. I am not out searching,” he concluded.
