“He has had to resign himself to the fact that she would talk. He knew the risks going in. This is the type of artist she is, she wears her heart on her sleeve.”

The couple announced their split in 2019. They met in 2011 and share one son - Angelo - who is nine.

The source said the couple will always do what is best for their son.

“They’ve been adamant any personal tension should never come ahead of what’s best for Angelo,” they said.
