The 30-year-old reality star and Jack Padgett have gone their separate ways after six months of dating because they are at "different stages in life" and felt their lifestyles were incompatible.

A source told The Sun newspaper: “Ferne has called time on her relationship with Jack Padgett. Ferne said it was a case of ‘right guy wrong time’.

“It was clear to all of us that they were both on different paths. Jack’s life revolves around hosting events and nightlife because that’s his job. Whereas Ferne is all about family, work and security. Her working days are so full on that their diaries literally clashed.”

The 'First Time Mum' star - who has three-year-old Sunday with former partner Arthur Collins - is "sad" the romance didn't work out but she is also realistic and couldn't see a long-term future for them.

The source added: “She’s sad but she’s realistic about the situation, that nightlife lifestyle just isn’t her and hasn’t been for years.

"As much as Ferne likes Jack, she’s at a different stage in her life. She wants to be with someone who’s on the same wavelength and wants the same things out of life.

“She has no regrets. They both got on great and had a lot of fun, but you need more than that in a relationship.”

The couple's relationship was made public in December when they were spotted kissing whilst on holiday in South Africa but Ferne insisted at the time they were trying to keep their relationship as private as possible because it's "early days”.

Ferne said at the time: "I have met someone. But it is early days and I don't want to divulge into too much information. Obviously I was single in lockdown so I knew the struggles of single life – it was like do you go on the apps? Am I going to meet someone randomly? We will see. I am excited, I am really, really excited about how this will go and how it will develop."
