Ekin-Su Culculoglu has admitted she has ‘a lot more boundaries’ going into future relationships following her split from ex-boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti.

The reality star, 29, who met Davide on Love Island, confirmed she had parted ways with the Italian businessman, also 29, in February, for a second time as she blamed a ‘rollercoaster of ups and downs’ in their romance.

The Celebrity Big Brother star spoke to Fabulous magazine about her break-up prior to entering the CBB house earlier this week.

Ekin-Su said: ‘I do feel a lot more confident in myself. I know what I want, I know what I tolerate and what I won’t tolerate and I have a lot more boundaries than I did before.’

‘I’m single and I’m really focusing on myself at the minute. You can’t plan who you’ll meet in life, but I believe everything happens for a reason, and so I’m just going with that.’

She also claimed she is ‘sure men are scared’ of her because she is a ‘fiery woman’, which makes men ‘intimidated by her’.

Ekin-Su also spoke about how close she went onto Celebrity Big Brother, so shortly after her break-up.

She added: ‘I’ve just come out of one relationship and I never jump from one to another. That’s definitely not the reason why I’m going into Big Brother! I’m excited to get to know everyone on friendly levels – that’s the only love I’m looking for at the minute.’

Ekin-Su first split from Davide in June 2023 but they reconciled just two months later, enjoying a romantic getaway to Turkey, where Ekin-Su’s parents hail.

Taking to her Instagram Story to announce the break-up, the former Dancing On Ice contestant wrote: ‘The last 18-months have been a rollercoaster of ups and downs, just like every relationship.

‘Davide and I both wanted to make this work as we cared deeply for each other. Unfortunately I have recently made the decision to end our relationship and to go our separate ways..

‘Breakups are never easy. For any couple. And we hope that our privacy will be respected. I enjoyed our time together and the memories we made.

‘Thank you for your continued support. It’s been so lovely to have you follow our Love Island journeys together since the villa and we hope you’ll continue to follow our careers as we go off in our own directions. Love always, Ekin-Su.’

Ekin-Su’s statement regarding their split read: ‘The last 18-months have been a rollercoaster of ups and downs, just like every relationship’

Davide also had his say on his own Instagram Story statement which said they had ‘grown apart’, after previously believing in a ‘future together’

Davide released his own statement later that same day also on his Instagram story, and used the same font and colours as Ekin-Su.

He wrote: ‘Life sometimes reserves surprises and suddenly wakes you up… Ekin and I, just after the ski holidays, decided to go different ways. It was a joint decision, but I was waiting to make it public to respect her time in the show.’

Hinting at foul play from Ekin-Su, he said: ‘I don’t know why the agreed statement changed last minute, but continued: ‘I agree, it was a beautiful story even with its ups and downs like all couples.

‘I loved every moment, from the first time I knew her in the Villa until the life outside. I really believed in us and saw a future for us.

‘But sometimes in life people need to grow apart. Is just the direction of life. I will treasure our moments forever.’

He signed off by saying: ‘Now it’s time to focus on myself. I love you all always, thank you for the unconditional support everyone showed me from the beginning. Davide.
