Ellie recently said that social media had a role to play in their break-up.

Irish influencer Ellie Kelly has confirmed that she has parted ways with her boyfriend Conor Ryan.

In an interview with the Irish Independent, the Hold My Drink podcast host explained why they went their separate ways.

She told the publication that she thinks social media had “ruined” the relationship.

Ellie said: “There’s no doubt about that. We did it ourselves, but people just felt so entitled at one stage to my life.”

The social media star continued: “At one stage of my life I was going through a bad patch in my relationship and I was getting messages from people saying ‘tell me what happened’ and I’d say no because it’s not their business, but they’d say ‘well, you brought us this far along your journey.'”

She added: “Also, to see people publicly speak about your relationship as if you can’t see what they’re saying is a kick in the teeth. Behind closed doors, no one knows what actually happens, they see pictures of us online and the odd story or video, that kind of thing, and that’s it.”

Ellie, who is a make-up artist as well as an influencer, had been in a relationship with Conor for over six years.
