The pair have called time on their relationship less than a year after announcing their engagement
Less than one year after announcing their engagement, Girls Aloud singer Nadine Coyle and American footballer player Jason Bell have called time on their relationship.
Nadine broke the news to fans on Twitter yesterday, revealing she and the sporting star went their separate ways ‘a few weeks ago,’ but are planning to remain friends.
'A few weeks ago Jason and I broke up,’ Nadine wrote. 'We are great friends and decided we are better this way. I'm in NYC working & I love all your support. X’
Despite dating Jason for nearly two years, the singer didn’t seem overly concerned by their break-up.
'Aside from that, I am having a wonderful time with friends here,’ she later added, alongside pictures of herself enjoying New York nightlife.
The starlet shocked fans in September last year by announcing her engagement to Jason fans live on Radio One.
Nadine was appearing on the the BBC radio show to promote her new single, Insatiable, when she let slip the news to presenter Scott Mills.
Asked by Scott if she was wearing an engagement ring, the Irish star replied: 'Yes, that is an engagement ring. It happened last week.’
'I just got back from London and he was in New York and he surprised me with a ring and stuff, while I was in my pyjamas!’ she said.
‘If I had known I would have had a blow-dry or at least had a manicure or something!
