Celebrity Big Brother’s Ekin-Su Culculoglu admits she thought her ex-boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti was her soulmate

Ekin-Su Culculoglu admitted she thought her ex-boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti was her soulmate on Friday’s episode of Celebrity Big Brother.

The Love Island star, 29, chatted to social media star Zeze Millz and American actress Marisha Wallace and opened up about her romance with Davide, 29.

The three women were talking about relationships when Marisha asked, “Have you had a hoe phase yet?”

After Ekin-Su wondered what that meant, Marisha replied, “You can sleep with whoever you want, be with whoever you want, date whoever you want, just enjoy yourself.”

Shocked, Ekin-Su replied, “No, I would get attached to it.”

Ekin-Su, 29, and Davide Sanclimenti, 29, dated for almost two years after the pair met on Love Island in 2022 and won the dating show.

She further revealed, “I thought my ex was my soulmate. I imagined what our kids would look like, make the faces and stuff.”

Zeze then tried to reassure the reality star that everything was fine by reminding her that the couple had been together for a while.

Nodding, Ekin replied, “Yes, almost two years. It was real. For ages people thought we were a PR couple. But if the fights happen, you can of course say that it is real.’

As she continued to talk about the relationship, Ekin-Su dropped a big clue as to why the popular couple broke up, but stopped herself before revealing too much.

She said: ‘But he likes to break up. You know, I don’t want to talk about that, but yeah.’

Marisha then said, “The girl he’s still involved with is a scumbag. He sows his wild oats.’

The TV personality met Davide on the ITV2 dating show, which they won, but confirmed she had parted ways with the Italian businessman for a second time in February, blaming a ‘rollercoaster of ups and downs’ in their romance.

She first split from Davide in June 2023, but the couple reconciled just two months later and enjoyed a romantic getaway to Turkey, where Ekin-Su’s parents are from.

During a heartfelt chat in the Celebrity Big Brother house, Ekin-Su revealed that her two-year relationship with Davide was real and not a PR stunt as everyone thought.

After making a mistake and saying that Davide liked to party, social media star Zeze Millz (pictured left) and American actress Marisha Wallace (pictured right) told Ekin-Su that he was still young.

Fans have even speculated that the couple’s breakup is just for show, and that they will both appear on Love Island: All Stars and get back together in dramatic fashion.

Ekin Su is joined by X Factor icon Sharon Osbourne in the Celebrity Big Brother House, who is only staying for a week but is reportedly being paid an astonishing £100,000 for every day she is there.

Louis Walsh, Kate Middleton’s uncle Gary Goldsmith and Coronation Street’s Colson Smith are among the stars also taking part.

The series is hosted by AJ Odudu and Will Best, who were brought in for the Big Brother reboot last year.

The first elimination took place on Friday evening with the live final airing on Friday 22 March on ITV at 9pm.
