What do you do when you split up with someone but you have a pet together?
That’s the dilemma that Caroline Flack and her ex fiancé Andrew Brady are facing now that they’ve gone their separate ways.
The couple adopted French bulldog puppy named Ruby just weeks before they ended their relationship in July.
It’s thought that though they wanted to keep their split amicable, Caroline was “furious” when Andrew took the dog from her home while she went to Mallorca to film Love Island last month.
“The dog was the one thing they seemed able to agree on,” a source said.
“She had been happy to share custody of the dog — and for Andrew to disappear with it was out of order.”
Since then, Andrew appears to have further staked a claim on Ruby with a series of photos on Instagram.
The former couple are now in a “custody battle” over the dog, reports Metro.
Caroline and Andrew announced that they were going their separate ways on 10 July after six months together and three months after announcing their engagement.
In statements, the pair said that the relationship “was not meant to be” and that they wished each other well.
After ex-girlfriends of Andrew’s came forward in the press with stories about their time with him, he took to Twitter to clear up speculation about the breakup.
“For reasons personal to us, we mutually decided it was going to be very difficult to sustain a long term relationship, but was more about our personalities than our actions,” he wrote.
