Speaking on the breakup from Joey, Jessy added: "I had so much fun doing it, have been given incredible opportunities since leaving the villa and despite it not working on the outside, I did meet someone I liked and had the best summer ever with an amazing group of people."
The former couple confirmed they had gone their separate ways in September, each releasing their own statement.
"Unfortunately, we have decided to call an end to the relationship but I hope we can continue to be friends," Joey wrote in his. "I truly wish Jessy the very best with whatever she does in the future."
