The parents-to-be often pay loving tributes to each other on social media. Over Christmas he posted a cute selfie with Brittny, calling her "my better half," while last year the brunette beauty said she couldn't wait to marry her "best friend". On Jenson's birthday last year, Brittny also wrote on Instagram: "Happy birthday to my favourite human being! You've shown me the type of love that I thought only existed in silly fairy tales. I can't believe I've captured my very own unicorn. Never letting go."

A spokesperson for Jenson told MailOnline at the time: "Jenson and Jessica have decided to go their separate ways and it is very amicable. There is no one else involved."
