Former TOWIE star, Ferne McCann, has been engaged to Lorrie Haines for nearly three years, but fans reckon all is not well between the couple after the star’s latest Instagram post
Ferne McCann has denied rumours she’s split with Lorri Haines
Ferne McCann has addressed mounting speculation she’s split from partner Lorri Haines after appearing to ditch her engagement ring. The former TOWIE star, 35, who shares daughter, Finty Francis, two, with the businessman, 33, is usually seen proudly sporting her diamond sparkler.
However, in a slew of snaps from Ferne’s latest Instagram post, Lorri is nowhere to be seen – and neither is the reality star’s dazzling diamond. Ferne likes to be seen with her huge rock but has recently swapped it for a plain gold band. In new photos, the mum-of-two can be seen wearing the understated jewellery instead of her flashy engagement ring.
She captioned the snaps in which she larks about with her pals, sporting a daring sheer black dress: “The best of lately.” However, fans wondered where Lorri was and why Ferne wasn’t wearing her ring.

Taking to the comments section, one asked: “Are they still together he’s never in the photos?” A second said: “That’s what I thought never in photos.” Meanwhile, a third asked: “Where’s Lorrie?”
However, other fans were quick to jump to Ferne’s defence and say: “What a strange question. Why do you care?”
Debunking the split claims, when contacted by the Mirror, a rep for Ferne said she and Lorri were still “very much together”. While an insider added: “Ferne doesn’t always wear her ring.”
On Valentine’s Day, Lorri declared his love for Ferne as he captioned a string of photos of them together, gushing: “HAPPY VALENTINES Ferne, My beautiful fiancée, love you so much!”
Ferne did not post a Valentine’s Day message directly to Lorri. However she did reply to his post, saying: “Ahhhh love these pics babe. HVD,” followed by red love heart emojis.
It comes after the influencer admitted that she and Lorri’s love life has changed since having a child.
Speaking about their relationship has changed since having children, Ferne admitted that she feels their priorities have shifted as a couple, meaning they have less time to be intimate now than they used to.
If they want to have time together, Ferne said the best way to ensure it happens, is to schedule a date night or designated time to spend together in their calendars.
“Don’t worry, I think Lorri is okay. I’m not depriving him [of sex],” Ferne said, speaking to OK! Magazine in October. She added: “But yeah, it is what it is. Isn’t it the same for most couples with young children? We’ve gone through our honeymoon period.”
