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<\/p>\n

Ferne McCann has denied rumours she’s split with Lorri Haines<\/p>\n

Ferne McCann has addressed mounting speculation she’s split from partner Lorri Haines after appearing to ditch her engagement ring. The former TOWIE star<\/a>, 35, who shares daughter, Finty Francis, two, with the businessman, 33, is usually seen proudly sporting her diamond sparkler.<\/p>\n

However, in a slew of snaps from Ferne’s latest Instagram<\/a> post, Lorri is nowhere to be seen – and neither is the reality star’s dazzling diamond. Ferne<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

She captioned the snaps in which she larks about with her pals, sporting a daring sheer black dress: \u201cThe best of lately.\u201d However, fans wondered where Lorri<\/a> was and why Ferne wasn’t wearing her ring.<\/p>\n

Taking to the comments section, one asked: “Are they still together he\u2019s never in the photos?\u201d A second said: \u201cThat\u2019s what I thought never in photos.\u201d Meanwhile, a third asked: \u201cWhere\u2019s Lorrie?\u201d<\/p>\n

However, other fans were quick to jump to Ferne\u2019s defence and say: \u201cWhat a strange question. Why do you care?\u201d<\/p>\n

Debunking the split claims, when contacted by the Mirror<\/a>, a rep for Ferne said she and Lorri were still “very much together”. While an insider added: \u201cFerne doesn\u2019t always wear her ring.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Valentine’s Day<\/a>, Lorri declared his love for Ferne as he captioned a string of photos of them together, gushing: \u201cHAPPY VALENTINES Ferne, My beautiful fianc\u00e9e, love you so much!\u201d<\/p>\n

Ferne did not post a Valentine\u2019s Day message directly to Lorri. However she did reply to his post, saying: \u201cAhhhh love these pics babe. HVD,\u201d followed by red love heart emojis.<\/p>\n

It comes after the influencer admitted that she and Lorri’s love life has changed since having a child.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t worry, I think Lorri is okay. I\u2019m not depriving him [of sex],\u201d Ferne said, speaking to OK! Magazine in October. She added: “But yeah, it is what it is. Isn\u2019t it the same for most couples with young children? We\u2019ve gone through our honeymoon period.”<\/p>\n
