Shaughna Phillips has allegedly supported her ex-boyfriend Billy Webb as he was sentenced over drug charges.
The Love Island star, 29, wrote to a judge asking for leniency before he was sentenced, according to The Mirror.
The ex-couple share nine-month-old Lucia, who is Shaughna’s first child.
But her pregnancy was made more difficult after police arrested real estate agent Billy in a drug raid in January.
He has now been sentenced to a nine-year jail term after admitting conspiracy to supply 4.5kg of cocaine worth at least £360,000.

Shaughna and Billy are believed to have begun dating in 2020, the same year that she appeared on winter Love Island.
They are believed to have rekindled their romance after a previous split.
Earlier this month, Shaughna confirmed she is single on the podcast ‘Oh Baby!’, saying she wears her single mum title as a badge of honour.
Southwark Crown Court heard that Webb ran a ‘relatively successful’ drug operation called Barry’s Party Supplies, which offered cocaine, MDMA and ketamine.
It offered special discounts before football matches.
In mitigation, his lawyer Nichola Cafferkey said, also per The Mirror: ‘He knows it’s through his own actions he’s separated from [his loved ones] and he should be assisting the upbringing of his young family.’
Shaughna – who has kept her boyfriend off social media to protect his privacy – has stated that she had ‘absolutely no knowledge of any activity involving the allegations against Billy.’
Her representative said previously: ‘Despite being in a long term relationship with the defendant, Shaughna has no links with the address in question, and will be openly assisting the police with their enquiries.

‘We kindly ask the public to be mindful of the imminent birth of Shaughna’s baby and allow her some privacy during this difficult and stressful time.’
Shaughna welcomed Lucia back in April.
Sharing a first picture of her newborn from her hospital bed, the 28-year-old wrote; ‘My darling Lucia, I wish I had you sooner so I could love you longer.’
And offering more details, she wrote that the baby was born on 04/04/23 at 8.10pm, wearing 8lb 8oz.
Just weeks before welcoming her first child, Shaughna opened up about having to give birth alone, in an interview with OK! Magazine.
She said: ‘After a challenging few weeks, obviously, the baby’s father isn’t around.
‘But my main focus has always been just to prepare for the birth and try to be as calm as possible. I’m good at just saying, ”Right, the show must go on”.
She added: ‘Billy’s not around, but I don’t want to say that I’m doing it on my own, because I’m absolutely not – my family’s incredible. It’s going to be different, but I don’t want to say it’s going to be bad.’
Shaughna starred on the sixth season of Love Island and first coupled up with Callum Jones in the villa.
However, their brief relationship ended after Callum brought Molly Smith back from a stay in Casa Amor – although they have recently split after three years together.
