Former England international Dele Alli has reportedly ended his three-year relationship with model Cindy Kimberly.
The 29-year-old midfielder, who currently plays for Italian Serie A side Como, has seen his personal life take a difficult turn alongside his ongoing professional struggles.
According to the Daily Mail, Kimberly has unfollowed the footballer on Instagram and removed all photographs of them together from her social media account.
This includes recent images from April when the couple were pictured in Como.
Former England international Dele Alli has reportedly ended his three-year relationship with model Cindy Kimberly
The pair first went public with their relationship in June 2022. As recently as January this year, Kimberly was photographed alongside Alli as he completed his move to the Italian club.
Alli's career revival attempt at Como has faltered dramatically since joining in January. The midfielder hadn't played professionally for two years before the Serie A club offered him a training opportunity.
Manager Cesc Fabregas gave him his debut against AC Milan in March, but it ended disastrously. The former Tottenham and Everton star received a red card after just 10 minutes on the pitch, and Como lost the match.

He hasn't featured for the team since that ill-fated appearance. Fabregas criticised the sending off as "a grave mistake" and said "we should not see [this] from a player of his experience."
The Spanish manager noted that Alli "left the team down to 10 men during a crucial moment when we were pushing for 2-2."
Kimberly had been a steadfast presence throughout Alli's personal battles.

In 2023, the footballer courageously revealed his traumatic childhood experiences, including sexual abuse from the age of six.
The Sports Illustrated cover model supported him through his admission of sleeping pill addiction and mental health struggles. Alli shared these deeply personal revelations in an emotional interview with Gary Neville.
Their relationship appeared strong until recently, with Kimberly accompanying him to Italy for his Como signing.

However, reports suggest the split followed Alli's trip to Ibiza, where he was allegedly spotted with model Parmida Shahbazy whilst Kimberly was working in Morocco.
Despite the reported breakup, Alli continues to follow Kimberly on social media.
Looking ahead, Fabregas has offered measured words about Alli's prospects at Como.
"Dele Alli needs to keep working," the manager stated last month. "He had his chance in Milan, but was sent off and then got injured. When the right time comes, it just comes."

The former Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder had previously acknowledged that Alli "perhaps didn't deserve this opportunity because he has only been working with us for two weeks and has a lot to improve."
Fabregas did recognise Alli's potential, describing him as "a player who can score goals."
The upcoming season will prove crucial for the former Tottenham star as he attempts to rebuild his career in Italy.
