Gary Lucy was abandoned by her partner Laura Anderson after a series of squabbles over where they would live, shortly before she announced she was pregnant with their first child.
They met on E4’s Celebs Go Dating last year and announced their romance in December as they spent Christmas together.
Laura, 33, and Gary, 41, revealed earlier this week that they were expecting a child together, despite allegations that they had split in January.
Gary, a former Hollyoaks actor, has now stated that he and Laura, a Love Island star, are no longer together but will raise their kid peacefully.
According to the soap star, their split was caused by his refusing to relocate to Laura’s native Scotland in order to be closer to his four other children in England.
‘Laura did want me to go, but I have my obligations here,’ Gary explained of the end of their whirlwind relationship.

‘I have four kids and all the things that go along with that so it’s very difficult, if not impossible, to uproot at this time.’
He continued to The Sun: ‘Having gone through a divorce, my children need me and living such a long way from them just would not be possible
‘I wish I could break myself in half. I would if I could.’
Gary acknowledged that while their relationship is over now, he would love to reconcile with the reality star in the future as he ‘thinks the world of her’.
On Tuesday, the ex-couple shared their baby news with a video montage of Laura’s pregnancy experience thus far.
Laura was shown in the video posing in her underpants to show off her baby belly, while the pair were overtaken with joy at their pregnancy scans. Gary also posed with a babygrow in hand in a picture shot at Christmas, reading: ‘The one when we become parents. Lucy is expected in the autumn of 2023.’
Laura also shared three positive pregnancy tests she took early on, and she charmingly presented photographs of the scan to her dog in another film.
The pair captioned the post: ‘Our hearts are full, Baby Lucy due Summer ‘23.’
