While Anna’s post did not offer a reason why the couple had split, Josh’s shed some light on the situation.
‘We have had an amazing journey but unfortunately sometimes relationships don’t work out and two people grow apart,’ he said in a post on his Instagram Stories.
The news comes a day after Anna was seen celebrating the end of Melbourne’s strict lockdown with a trip to a local eatery to enjoy a cocktail.
It also follows the former couple, who moved in together in June after six months of dating, sharing how Victoria’s strict lockdown had put a strain on their relationship.
‘We have had an amazing journey but unfortunately sometimes relationships don’t work out and two people grow apart,’ Josh said
‘We’ve definitely stepped on each others toes too much being stuck in an apartment, trapped,’ Josh admitted to fans in a YouTube video in September, when one asked how their relationship was travelling.
‘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.’
Anna added: ‘It’s been good. It’s been testing during COVID’.
