Jake and Yazmin are believed to have met in May last year before she revealed their relationship on Instagram in December in a clip showing the couple kissing.
But she broke up with him just a month later after he was reportedly caught “acting single” while on holiday in Dubai and leaving a club alone with former Love Island Ellie Jones.
It was still thought the couple were separated when the crash occurred on Sunday. Friends say they are not sure what the couple were doing together in Turkey, but perhaps they had been there to sign some kind of trade deal.
A source told MailOnline: “It’s a total tragedy and a total loss of life. Everyone is in shock and waiting for Yazmin to fully recover.
