Taking to Instagram on Sunday night, Anna, 27, shared an emotional post, revealing that she and her Love Island beau had ended their one year relationship.

“It is with great sadness that Josh and I are going our separate ways,” Anna posted on Instagram.

“I know that so many of you are invested in our relationship but please know we did everything we could to make it work.

“It’s extremely difficult to break up with someone who you still love but it is the right thing to do. Please respect our privacy and thank you for the ongoing love and support.”

Josh shared his own Instagram Story about the break up, writing: “We have had an amazing journey but unfortunately sometimes relationships don’t work out and two people simply grow apart.”

“I am incredibly grateful for the time we have shared.”

So why did the picture perfect couple end things? Just two weeks before the break up announcement, Josh shared a loved-up photo of himself and Anna celebrating his 27th birthday from their Melbourne home together.

Anna admitted to fans in a YouTube Q&A that the intense Melbourne lockdown situation had been "testing" on her and Josh's relationship, and he agreed.

"We've definitely stepped on each others toes too much being stuck in an apartment, trapped," he said when asked how his and Anna's relationship was going.

"I'm sure heaps of people feel the same way. Sometimes in a relationship you need a bit of space from one another for it to be healthy, but Covid lockdown does not allow for that."

Just two weeks before their break up, Anna and Josh celebrated Josh's 27th birthday at home.

Anna and Josh shacked up together back in June, ahead of Melbourne's second lockdown and documented the experience on social media extensively.

The couple shared vlogs to their personal YouTube accounts explaining that they'd been looking at rental properties for a couple of months.

"This has been a long time coming, we've been wanting to tell you guys for ages but we were like 'We have to hold off and try and make it a surprise.' Finally it's out so we're super excited," Anna said in her YouTube video.

Anna and Josh fell for each other whilst filming Love Island and went on to win.

Anna and Josh may have won season two of the show, but Josh's twin brother Luke seems to be the one who's been the luckiest in love.

Just days before Anna and Josh's break up was announced, Luke, who also starred on Love Island, revealed that he had proposed to his girlfriend in Byron Bay in a romantic underwater setting.

"Took this girl diving today and popped the question at the bottom of the ocean! Was a moment I will remember forever," he captioned a sweet snap of himself and his new fiancée sharing a kiss.
