“But over the last few months we have realised that we are actually better as friends."

"Break ups are never easy, even when amicable, but we can’t thank you enough for your support and kindness following our journey together."

The post continued: "There’s nothing but love and good energy between us, and we feel very lucky to have found each other in our lives. Just sadly not as a couple! And although we are parting ways, we will always continue to support one another."

MAFS expert Paul Brunson was quick to comment, writing: “I loved you both before you met, loved you while you were together, and I will love you apart ❤️.”

Earlier this year, Matt and Daniel shared plans for a real wedding, with Matt saying: "I would love to do that," Matt said. "We were at one of Dan's friend's weddings recently and we got chatting with a wedding planner.

"It’s definitely something we’re thinking about. I would love it and I know Dan would as well. But we're in no rush. We're embracing what we have together right now."
