Speaking on her latest vlog, she said: “We had some really sad news of a really close family friend. He passed away really suddenly and unexpectedly.
“And within a day or two, Red and I split up, which I’m obviously not going to go into too much detail about either of the things because they’re both personal.”

Gemma, who is the daughter of football legend Michael Owen, insisted she and Red remain good friends but ultimately weren’t on the same page as far as romance was concerned.
“Red and I are on good terms,” said Gemma. “We’re friends. It was a mutual decision and ultimately we just came to a bit of a crossroads and we wanted different things out of the relationship.

“We didn’t want to waste anyone’s time if we weren’t both sort of aligned with what we want. So yeah, that’s what’s been going on. It’s been, as you can imagine, a pretty hard few weeks, months.”
Following the split, Gemma spent time with family and friends and said she focused on herself.
The Jattvibe revealed Gemma and Red were an item in April last year while they were on a luxury holiday in Dubai.
Red is a talented showjumper having represented Great Britain in the European Championships at youth level.
His dad Steve, 73, featured on the latest Jattvibeday Times rich list with an estimated fortune of £935million.
He founded housebuilding company Redrow and is an ex-chairman of Wolverhampton Wanderers.
