Now, in a statement shared exclusively with The Sun, Davide has addressed the ending of his romance for the first time.
Davide said: “In light of mine and Keye’s relationship status being shared, I just wanted to speak on the situation personally.
“My time on MAFS was honestly one of the most life-changing experiences of my life. From the start I showed up as my true self, I was vulnerable, open, and completely genuine.
“I went into the experiment with an open heart and a real hope of finding love and I did.

“Before the experiment I had already done a lot of work on myself, especially around my boundaries and trust.
“Trust has always been one of my biggest boundaries and I came into this experience knowing it was something I would never compromise again.”
Davide continued: “The night in question, I had a gut feeling something wasn’t right.
“Out of my own insecurity I created a profile on Grindr to check whether Keye was on the app only to find that my gut feeling was correct.
“That moment was painful and it made the trust between us break in a way I couldn’t move past. That’s why when it was broken, it was something I simply could not overcome.
“I won’t lie I was deeply hurt and shocked but with time, I’ve healed and found peace.”
The reality TV star went on to say: “Even through the pain I don’t regret being part of this journey.
“This experience pushed me to grow in ways I never expected. It taught me patience, communication and what it truly means to choose yourself after heartbreak.
“I don’t hold any bitterness towards Keye, he has taken accountability for his actions and I respect that.
“I genuinely wish him peace and happiness. Sometimes love doesn’t end the way we hope but it still leaves behind lessons that shape you for the better, for that I’ll always be grateful.”
Keye and Davide had appeared loved-up during the programme’s final vows only for it to be revealed things had come crashing down just months on from filming.
Speculation surrounding their relationship status had begun to emerge just over a week ago when Keye failed to confirm or deny if they were still an item during a very telling TikTok video.
