Freddy Brazier has revealed that he and former girlfriend Holly Swinburn are currently not on speaking terms following the end of their relationship, just months after becoming parents to daughter Isla Jade.
The 21-year-old model and aspiring TV personality confirmed that while there is no animosity between them, both are taking time apart after their latest split.
Freddy and Holly, 22, welcomed their daughter Isla Jade in March after rekindling their romance following an earlier break-up. However, their relationship has been marked by a series of ups and downs, and it was reported in May that they had separated once again.
Speaking candidly about where things stand, Freddy said: “Yeah, Holly and I aren’t talking right now. We’re not speaking at the moment.”
He insisted there are no hard feelings between them, adding: “There’s no bad blood at all, I just need some space, we both need space. I can’t speak for Holly, but I just need to work on myself right now.”
The couple first connected on TikTok in June last year and announced two months later that they were expecting their first child together. But their romance hit turbulence several times, including a split in November after claims Freddy had hosted girls at Holly’s home while she was away on holiday.
Following the birth of Isla Jade, tensions reportedly escalated again after a disagreement involving Freddy’s grandmother, Jackiey Budden. Reports suggested Freddy later moved out of the family home and travelled to Gran Canaria after Jackiey was allegedly prevented from meeting her great-granddaughter.
At the time, sources claimed Holly had concerns over Jackiey’s lifestyle and believed she was having a negative influence on Freddy.
Despite the difficulties, the pair briefly appeared to reconcile and were later spotted together in Essex with baby Isla Jade.
Their relationship has also faced scrutiny from Freddy’s grandmother, who previously pushed for a paternity test. The results confirmed that Freddy is Isla Jade’s biological father.
Amid the challenges in his personal life, Freddy has spoken about how becoming a father has changed his outlook and helped him create new memories following the loss of his mother, Jade Goody.
Reflecting on Mother’s Day, he previously said: “I’ve often looked at people out with their mums on Mother’s Day and thought, ‘You’re so lucky… I wish I could have a special day with my mum’. But now, I’ll be able to make new memories with my baby daughter.”
Freddy was just four years old when reality star Jade Goody died from cervical cancer in 2009 at the age of 27. He and brother Bobby Brazier were subsequently raised by their father, Jeff Brazier.
The young father also recently revealed that he still talks to his late mother about major moments in his life, including becoming a parent himself.
He said: “I told her what was going on with the baby and how I am feeling, but sometimes I struggle talking to a headstone.”
