“They’ve tried so hard but they just can’t make it work."

Ronnie proposed to Laila in 2013, a year after the couple got together.

“There is a lot of love between them but they have been going in different directions and conceded it is over.”

Ronnie crashed out of the English Open this week after a shock first-round defeat to China’s He Guoqiang.

Representatives for Ronnie and Laila declined to comment.
