Giovanni Pernice has seemingly broken up with his girlfriend, after social media clues suggested they’ve separated.
The Strictly Come Dancing professional, 34, made his relationship official on Instagram with Molly Brown just a few weeks ago, but there are now rumors of a breakup.
They have not only unfollowed each other on Instagram, but the 24-year-old model has removed a picture of them together from her account.
They had been keeping their relationship private, but in February Molly shared a lovely picture snuggled up to Gio, reportedly captioned ‘Amore Mio’.
A source also told The Mirror in February: ‘Giovanni and Molly met a few weeks ago, and although it's very early in the relationship, things seem to be going well between them’.
‘He has been keeping things quiet because he didn’t want too much pressure on as they’re getting to know each other.’
Previously Giovanni has been in relationships with Love Island star Maura Higgins, actress Georgia May-Foote, and Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts.
The dancer has previously talked about his romantic life, saying it’s ‘impossible’ to balance a relationship with his career.

Speaking to Spencer Matthews on his Big Fish podcast, he said: ‘When you’re in competition, it’s either you’re in a relationship with your partner, because you spend most of your time with your partner, literally 24/7, and you travel with your partner. Or you’re just single and enjoy your time around when you can.
‘It’s impossible sometimes, but that’s the reason why most of the dance couples are together, because it’s either this or nothing.
‘And they stop dancing, and they break up straight away, so it’s a conventional relationship.’
He also mentioned that dancing puts a ‘lot of pressure’ on his ability to have a ‘normal’ relationship.
His career has certainly faced a lot of drama in the past few months, after reports of a feud with former Strictly partner Amanda Abbington.
The Sherlock actress, 51, were partnered in the latest series of the dancing show, but weeks after the competition ended rumours began to circulate about a behind-the-scenes clash between the pair.
Amanda has been relatively quiet since leaving the show, however, reports emerged in January that she had requested video footage of her rehearsals with Giovanni and was seeking legal advice.
Metro.co.uk has asked Giovanni’s representatives for a statement.
