Privacy NoticeSnooker legend Ronnie O’Sullivan and his fiancee, actress Laila Rouass, have reportedly called it quits on their 12-year on-off relationship. The couple has struggled to spend quality time together due to Ronnie’s busy schedule competing in international tournaments. A source told The Sun: “They have been going in different directions.” The snitch elaborated that Ronnie’s been jet-setting to places like China and Saudi Arabia for lucrative contests. “Laila’s focus has reportedly been on her acting career. Despite the love they share, they’ve acknowledged their paths are diverging and have accepted that it’s over,” the insider revealed. Yet, those close to them are crossing fingers, hoping this split is just a temporary hiccup, much like their brief separation last year.

The source added: “They’ve tried so hard but they just can’t make it work.” In a telling sign, Laila was seen without her engagement ring during an appearance on This Morning last month. The duo originally hit it off in 2013, with Ronnie proposing the following year, reports the Mirror. After a brief break up in 2022, they rekindled their relationship, with Ronnie admitting he needed to “behave”. “She’s great. I love her. She’s great company and I love being around her,” he expressed back then.

Snooker ace Ronnie opened up about his personal life, praising his partner for her support: “She’s very supportive. I have to behave myself. I know when to go, ‘Alright, you’re in charge’. But she’s also really good at going, ‘Listen, you’ve got a busy life, you’ve got a lot to do, just get on with it’. Now it feels a lot better everyone’s just in a better place. I just want to see her and her daughter happy, and her family, who are like my family, happy.” The sporting legend is a father to three children from previous relationships – he has daughter Taylor-Ann with ex-partner Sally Magnus, and two more children with Jo Langley, whom he met at Narcotics Anonymous. Also among his loved ones is his granddaughter, after his daughter Taylor-Ann welcomed a baby in 2018.Story SavedYou can find this story in  My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
