CONCERN FOR CHARLOTTE AFTER RELATIONSHIP ENDS
THE LATEST HOOK-UPS, MAKE-UPS AND BREAK-UPS
It was only three weeks ago that Charlotte Crosby proudly told Closer she had bought a house with boyfriend Joshua Ritchie after almost two years of dating, and was “feeling broody” as she awaited his marriage proposal. But last week the former Geordie Shore star shocked fans when she announced they’d split, posting, “Sadly the relationship seems to have broken down. Hoping we can remain civil and [I] wish him the best for the future.”
Despite initially putting on a brave front, Charlotte, 29, sparked concern when she shared videos of her breaking down and sobbing days after they parted ways, which had fans fearing for her wellbeing.
One commented, “I’m gutted Charlotte Crosby and Josh Ritchie split up. They were my favourite celeb couple,” and another added, “I was ridiculously invested in @Charlottegshore and @ritchie_joshua relationship! I’m gutted they’ve split.”
Another said, “The lovable Charlotte that won Big Brother has been replaced by an absolute mental monster.” And one said,
“I think the woman needs to seek help from a psychologist.”
Charlotte and Joshua, 25 – who met in 2017 before going official in 2018 – have had a turbulent relationship, even sparking speculation they had split in September 2018 when they unfollowed each other on social media after a row. Despite their ups and downs, they were adamant they would have children in the near future. “I’ll be 30 next year and I’m really ready to start a family,” she recently told Closer.
But insiders tell us the pair’s inner circle wouldn’t rule out a reunion. A source says, “They’ve form for falling out, taking time out and then getting back together. No one would be surprised if this is a temporary split, they’ve just bought a house and were so excited – there’s a lot of love between them.”
Charlotte is no stranger to heartbreak, as prior to dating Joshua, she romanced her Just Tattoo Of Us co-host Stephen Bear in 2017, as well as Joshua’s BFF Max Morley in 2015. She also dated her former Geordie Shore co-star Gaz Beadle, after they met on the MTV show in 2011, but suffered an ectopic pregnancy in 2016 while he was filming Ex On The Beach. . Josh also has some famous exes of his own, including Stephanie Davis, and is rumoured to have hooked up with Danielle
Armstrong after he found fame on Love Island in 2015.
