Liam Delap’s now-ex-girlfriend has confirmed that she has parted ways with the new Chelsea<\/a> striker.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Delap joined Chelsea from Ipswich<\/a> Town following an impressive campaign in Premier League<\/a> last term with the newly-promoted Tractor Boys, signing for the Blues ahead of the Club World Cup<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The English striker would go on to help power the Blues to a surprise crown, beating Paris Saint-Germain<\/a> in the final, and will now battle it out with Joao Pedro and Nicolas Jackson<\/a> for the starting role up top.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, while the 22-year-old was away, his former partner\u00a0Leanna Paul, a 25-year-old model and social media influencer, is thought to have ended the relationship with Delap.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now, though, she has confirmed the split, responding to a Q&A on Instagram with the news.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Asked whether she was single, Paul wrote: ‘Don’t usually like talking about my personal life on here, I like to keep that private.<\/p>\n

\"Liam <\/p>\n

Liam Delap’s now-ex-girlfriend has confirmed that the two have split up on Instagram<\/p>\n

\"Chelsea <\/p>\n

Chelsea striker Delap was dating Scottish influencer Leanna Paul before their recent break-up\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Paul <\/p>\n

Paul was dating Chelsea’s new striker for over a year before the relationship ended\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘But since I keep getting asked… yes I am single.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

The news comes after weeks of speculation over the couple’s relationship status since his move to Chelsea.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the time of the Club World Cup, she had released a cryptic statement on Instagram, which went some way to shedding light on the situation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One post read: ‘You can\u2019t keep someone loyal by loving them harder.’<\/p>\n

Delap, though, clearly wasn’t letting his personal life impact his playing career, as he helped Chelsea pick up their second bit of silverware in just a few months.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Delap scored his first Chelsea goal during their 3-0 win over Esperance Tunis earlier in the competition, and would play six times in the competition, also providing an assist.<\/p>\n

Paul had been dating Chelsea’s new striker for over a year, only for the relationship to now come to an end.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The club starts its Premier League campaign at home to Crystal Palace on August 17th.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
