Ellie Kildunne Announces New Relationship Following Recent Breakup
Ellie Kildunne has confirmed she and director Cameron Sommerville-Bailey have split. The pair had made a joint appearance at the 2024 World Rugby Awards.
Confirmed split and timeline
Kildunne told The Guardian the breakup happened just before the Six Nations. She described the split as amicable after four to five years living together.
She said she still cares for Sommerville-Bailey. But she added the separation was right for both of them.
Public signs and fan reaction
Fans noted changes on social media. The couple’s shared highlights were removed from her Instagram after posts stopped in February.
