She said: "Unfortunately although I love Nick and have tried and tried to rebuild my trust in him - It's become apparent in the last few weeks I am unable to.

"I genuinely wish Nick the best. It's never easy to part ways with the person you planned you're [sic] entire future with, but futures can be rewritten and as of today mine is a blank page."

The 31-year-old Los Angeles Lakers player confirmed the split himself moments after Iggy's post, simply tweeting: "Single".

The sportsman proposed to the 26-year-old Fancy singer in June last year, after getting together in 2013.

However their relationship hit the rocks in March, when a video surfaced online of Nick discussing his conquests with other women with team mate D'Angelo Russell, who allegedly recorded the footage without Nick's knowledge.

In the video, which was leaked on YouTube, D'Angelo can be heard asking his team mate at one point: "You was 30, she was 19? What about Amber Rose, you ain't never tried?"

Nick replied: "No, she knows my girl."

Iggy was quick to address the footage at the time, taking to Twitter to give a shout out to D'Angelo.

She wrote: "hmmm i see D'Angelo Russell is trending... I actually liked his film. Thanks bro."

But soon after, Iggy insisted the couple were still together and trying to work through their problems.

She wrote in April: "For the record, I haven't broken up with Nick.

"We are together and i would love to be given a little (a lot) of privacy on the matter."

In a follow-up tweet she added: "I always answer questions honestly. But my job is to promote my music, not my relationship. Id love to be interviewed about the former only [sic]".

But in an interview with The Bert Show around the same time, Iggy admitted she wasn't sure if she trusted her fiance after his admissions.

She said: "I don't know. I'm still figuring it all out. It's still fresh.

"Because when you're in the heat of the moment or things are still progressing or coming out and you're getting new information, the way you feel about things can change really quickly. It can go up and down."
