Dele Alli splits from his model girlfriend Ruby Mae following a two-and-a-half year romance... as he

Dele Alli has split from his girlfriend Ruby Mae following a two-and-a-half year romance, Daily Mail reported.

The Tottenham Hotspur footballer, 22, and the lingerie model, 23, decided to call time on their relationship three weeks ago.

A source revealed to MailOnline that Dele and Ruby are both 'pretty upset about the split' but have remained 'very amicable, speaking to each other a lot'.

They added that there is no 'animosity' between the former couple and that there was 'no drama' surrounding their split.

Dele had been dating Ruby, a lingerie model who has posed for Dolce & Gabbana and Rare London, since June 2016 after they were spotted kissing at the Euros.

This comes as the footballer denied claims he had swapped numbers with Love Island's Megan Barton Hanson, after it was alleged the blonde beauty had caught his eye in London's Tape nightclub.

Megan has recently split from fellow reality star Wes Nelson.

The stunning brunette is signed to Boss Model Management in Manchester, and has worked for several other well-known brands including Chanel, Hidden Fashion and The Couture Club.

Ruby supported Dele throughout the 2018 World Cup held in Russia from 14 June to 15 July.

The model shared several photos of the sporting event onto her Instagram account over the summer.

In one sweet snap, Ruby sat on Dele's lap, as she revealed in the caption: 'So proud ❤️.'
