Chloe Lewis has revealed she’s split from boyfriend Danny Flasher after seven years together.
The former TOWIE star, 32, started dating the businessman – who prefers to stay out of the spotlight – in 2016 and two years later they welcomed son Beau.
Yet in an Instagram Q&A on Monday, Chloe revealed the pair had quietly separated after a ‘rubbish’ and ‘complicated’ few years.
Asked by fans if she was a ‘single mama’, she responded: ‘Yes I am. It’s been a complicated couple of years.
‘I’m quite private about my personal life, find it hard to deal with it all anyway let alone having everyone’s opinion. But try my best to show what I can.’
It’s over: Chloe Lewis has revealed she split from Danny Flasher after seven years and is raising son Beau, four, as a single mum after a ‘rubbish’ period

As another fan asked how she deals with ‘feelings of not being where you want to be’, Chloe responded: ‘Well… if I’m totally honest I thought id be married with 3 kids at 32
‘Life doesn’t always go to plan (which I have found really hard) but I think everyone has their own journey. You have to just live yours & not put too much pressure on yourself.
‘Don’t compare yourself to others. I’ve had a real rubbish 2 years and now, I’m a single mum but I have Beau at that’s my focus & my priority
‘I always think just do what you want to do and what makes you happy & everything should fall into place. That’s what I’m hoping for anyway
‘I have life chats with my dad & a man’s point of view on things always helps me too. Having someone to off load to is always important.’
Yet Chloe didn’t rule out finding love and expanding her family again, as when asked if she wants more children, she revealed: ‘I always wanted a big family.
‘Becoming a mum was harder than I expected, but I do love it there’s no feeling like it. So never say never!’
Chloe rose to fame when she joined TOWIE in 2015.
During her time, her on-off relationship with Jake Hall was well documented, before she eventually left the show after finding love with Danny.

She fell pregnant with twins but tragically lost one of her babies at eight weeks pregnant. Chloe then welcomed Beau in October 2019.
Speaking about the tragic loss, Chloe told OK! magazine: ‘The doctor did confirm the twins had been identical. That was so sad for me to hear. I kept thinking this one is going to come out and they would have looked exactly the same.’
Chloe added that she found her mixed emotions hard to cope with, admitting: ‘I grieved for about three months. I felt like I had gone into a hole, like I had lost a child. I felt like I had done something wrong because it was my body.
‘Was I going to the gym too much? You start questioning yourself,’ she explained. It wasn’t until Danny said, “Chloe, you’ve got to snap out of this, you’ve got one healthy baby, not everyone gets this.”‘
‘I was supposed to be happy but I was sad because I’d lost one. I was happy some days and sad others.
‘I couldn’t be totally happy. After three months, though, I said to myself, ‘Right, you’ve got to sort yourself out.”’
