Aleks Markovic and Ivan Sarakula officially ended their romance in February.

A source told Daily Mail Australia on Thursday: ‘It was Ivan’s decision to ends things and he dumped Aleks out of the blue. He didn’t want to be with her anymore.
‘She was blindsided and is still upset. The rest of the cast are so confused, but Aleks and Ivan are respecting each other’s privacy and keeping things to themselves.’
