Towie couple SPLIT after two years of dating and rift rumours
A POPULAR Towie couple have split up after two years.
The pair, who were due to move in together, sparked rumours of a break-up last week when they unfollowed each other on social media.
The Sun can reveal that James ‘Diags’ Bennewith and Jodie Wells have decided to break-up after getting together in 2023.
The pair had an on/off romance and often left fans guessing about the status of their relationship.
But now we can reveal that Diags and Jodie have decided to call it quits for good, despite the mum-of-one gearing up to relocate with her son to Essex.
A source told The Sun: “The pair have been desperately trying to make things work, but just couldn’t keep things on track and have decided to split.
“There was a big disagreement over moving in together, but in the end it wasn’t just that.
“They hadn’t been getting on for a while and they were very different people.”
Just last week they sparked rumours of rift when eagle-eyed fans noticed the pair has unfollowed each other on social media.
Jodie even went as far as removing all traces of Diags from her Instagram account.
She also seemingly took a swipe at the Towie star when she posted a video to TikTok that fans have called “shady”.
In the video, which has been viewed over a quarter of million times, the TV star can be seen lip-syncing to the words: “It’s because your son is a f*****g p***y.”
Many fans believed she was referring to Diags.
The pair have had fans hooked on their relationship from the start.
Meeting when Jodie was an extra in the reality TV show in 2023, Diags asked her and her son to move in with him the following summer.
Speaking to OK! Magazine at the time, Jodie said: “I like where James lives now. I would like somewhere a little bit more quiet. A bit more countryside.
“Somewhere, you feel like it would be quite a nice place to bring up a child, and I feel like it could be good for James as well.
“It’s bringing him away slightly from the party lifestyle and to think about more of a family lifestyle.”
Following that however, a love triangle threatened their relationship when Diags sent a drunken text to his ex Elma Pazar saying he missed her.
While he admitted it was a joke that “wasn’t funny”, Diags, who is one of Towie’s longest running cast members, said: “There couldn’t have been a worse person to send that message to.”
Jodie was quoted as saying at the time: “He’s just an idiot – he has a drink and he just thinks all of his jokes are funny, and they’re not.”
“I don’t think there was anything behind it. I just think he was just trying to be funny. But it’s a joke at my expense.”
More recently the pair spent Christmas and New Year apart, sparking further speculation their relationship was on the decline.
The Sun has contacted Diags and Jodie’s representatives for comment.
