Shelby Tribble and her fiancé Sam Mucklow have reportedly split.
The TOWIE stars are said to have ended their romance, almost three years after welcoming son Abel, who turns three next month.
Shelby, 30, and Sam, 31, are said to be determined to keep things “normal” for their little boy despite ending their relationship, which began in 2018.
The news shouldn’t come as a shock to fans, as Shelby posted the last photo of herself and Sam together in June during a family vacation.
Shelby also hinted at trouble on social media, writing in August, “Go where you’re celebrated, where you’re not tolerated,” alongside a solo recording one night.

She sparked speculation that she is single by recently sharing an audio TikTok video that said, “This is a song I wrote about men… It’s called ew…” with the caption, “Talking I for the majority of ‘us at this point?’.
A source told The Sun: “They are still co-parenting their child and want things to stay normal for Abel, but the romance is over – Shelby is supported by family and friends.”
Web has contacted representatives for Shelby Tribble and Sam Mucklow for comment.
Back in November 2020, the couple welcomed their son Abel into the world at Queen’s Hospital Romford, with Sam describing Shelby as an “absolute soldier”.
The couple announced their pregnancy in May of that year, posting a loved-up picture with a baby scan photo as she flaunted her blossoming bump.
Shelby wrote: “Something fantastic makes us happy, we change our names to Mum and Dad ❤️.”
Just days later, Shelby and Sam hosted a gender reveal party where they learned they would be giving birth to a baby boy.

Shelby and Sam had a turbulent on/off relationship, which was well documented on the reality TV show TOWIE.
The couple began sleeping together on a “friends with benefits” basis, but things soon turned sour when Sam decided to pursue romance with Demi Sims during a group trip to Thailand in 2019.
During a heated argument, Sam called Shelby an “idiot,” but months later the couple decided to give it another go.
However, they encountered resistance when Shelby’s best friend Clelia Theodorou told her that she felt abandoned because Shelby was spending all her time with Sam.
The former BFFs had several bitter arguments, with Clelia accusing her of not being there for her when she was at her lowest point after breaking up with her boyfriend (Sam’s best friend).
Then Shelby and Sam decided to step away from TOWIE to focus on their romance.
Shelby previously dated TOWIE’s Tom McDonnell and Pete Wicks. Sam previously had a romance with Ex on the Beach’s Nicole Bass.
