Alex Turner has split from his model girlfriend.
The Arctic Monkeys frontman had been dating Taylor Bagley, 31, for three years, and the pair even have each other’s names inked on their arms, but they made their decision to go their separate ways in July because things weren’t working out anymore.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "They were private about their relationship and never really spoke about each other. But behind closed doors they were really close for a long time and very much in love.
"In July they made the decision to separate, though. That’s why she hasn’t been with him while the band have been touring the UK. She has instead stayed home in the US."
The pair have always tried hard to keep their relationship out of the public eye but the 32-year-old rocker did give a rare insight into their romance back in 2016 when he admitted that things can be quite "hard" at times because of their globe-trotting careers.
He said at the time: "It’s always been hard, definitely. But now, I guess, this is a new chapter, in a way. I’m excited."
Alex and his group are currently on tour so his mind is no doubt being kept busy and he’s being supported by his band mates Matt Helders, Jamie Cook and Nick O’Malley.
He said earlier this year: "I enjoy their company. So, for instance, on this project I was really unsure about what I was doing and lost with it completely. Then, when Jamie [Cook, guitarist] came out to LA to join me and we worked on stuff together, through his encouragement suddenly I felt completely different. [Cook] getting excited about it, like the way I remember him getting excited about some idea in his bedroom in his mum’s house when we were 16 … I still get that buzz out of his reaction."
