The 'Let You Love Me' hitmaker had been romancing the French film director for six months, but the couple have reportedly called time on their relationship as lockdown forced them apart.

A source told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: "Rita and Romain have decided to end the romantic relationship for now due to the distance between them. But they will remain a close team.

"Sadly, with the lockdown restrictions, this is all just about them being apart from each other for so long, and now Rita’s work­ in Australia would have kept them apart."

Meanwhile, Rita previously confessed she "falls really hard" in love.

She admitted: "I love hard and fall really hard, all the time."

And Rita had previously confessed her single 'How To Be Lonely' - which was written by Lewis Capaldi - helped her to overcome a break-up and "put things in perspective" following a love split.

Rita said at the time: "It was based off me, after a break-up, and I thought: 'Gosh, I'm all by myself. This sucks, this is awful'. And then this song came about and then I thought, 'Wow, this really makes sense' because it made me feel better."

Rita has previously dated the likes of Calvin Harris and Ricky Hill - had recently split from Rafferty Law at the time.

A source previously said of their romance: "Rita really got on with Raff on set and they had great chemistry. They grew close while they were both working in London, although they were just taking each day as it came and weren't in a rush to label anything or move too quickly. But Rita has spent so long out of the country now and they're not talking as much as they were, let alone doing the things couples do when they're together. Things are on ice until they're back in the same country. They might pick up again then, but at the moment they are more like friends."
