My Mum, Your Dad couple in sad split It wasnt meant to be

My Mum, Your Dad: Monique becomes emotional

My Mum, Your Dad couple Elliott Davidson and Sharon Benson have reportedly called it quits on their relationship.

The main reason for the split is being put down to distance between the pair, MailOnline reports.

P.E. teacher Elliott lives in Essex, while Sharon resides in Sunderland, meaning the two found it difficult to see one another.

A source told the publication: “Elliott and Sharon had every intention of making their relationship work, but they knew it was always going to be tough.

“With Elliott’s job, he could only really come up to see Sharon out of term time and she’s had her own life-changing issues to deal with, namely her mother’s passing. They split on good terms and will remain friends.”

The insider continued: “You never know what might happen in the future but they’re so glad to have met each other on the show and thoroughly enjoyed their time dating. But this time, it just wasn’t to be.”

Speculation of the pair splitting up was created when fans of the ITV couple noticed the pair were answering queries on social media, but chose not to discuss their relationship.

Also, Sharon, 53, has unfollowed Elliott, also 53, on Instagram, sparking concern about their romance.

The two hit it off almost immediately on the dating show, which aired in September.

Elliott’s son Zach and Sharon’s daughter Tia played matchmakers for the pair and were massively supportive of the blossoming relationship.

After the series ended, Sharon and Elliott were also considering moving in with one another.

Sharon said: “Lots of people have asked if we are going to move in together and who would move where.

“We have spoken about this and I think it would be us moving down south. Tia lived in Essex for three years, I’m familiar with Essex and there’s more opportunities for Mimi as well when she gets older.”

As well as Tia, Sharon is also mum to her other daughter Mimi, who wasn’t on the show.

Express Online have reached out to Sharon and Elliott’s representatives for comment.
