The news comes just one month after the pair dampened talk of a split after they bizarrely unfollowed each other. 

Split rumours first emerged in January, after Irena announced that she had left Locky behind in Perth and returned to her home city of Melbourne.

Friends close to the couple previously told Daily Mail Australia that they wouldn’t be surprised if they had split when she relocated back to Melbourne and decided to keep it low-key.

They also claimed that Irena has been ‘a lot more stressed out than normal in the past few weeks’.

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia last month, Locky refuted claims of a breakup.

‘We haven’t unfollowed each other at all,’ he said, seemingly unaware that Irena had temporarily blocked him on Instagram.

Irena had relocated from Perth to Melbourne in January, after telling fans she’d been ‘struggling being away’ from her family in Victoria.
