Prior to Northway, Edwards was dating former cricketer Michael Clarke although they called time on their relationship in February after less than a year together.

It comes as other celebrity couples have split this year, during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Former Neighbours star Jodi Gordon, 36, ended her relationship with Sydney portfolio manager Sebastian Blackler, 30, earlier this year after the brief romance “fizzled out”, months after an apprehended violence order (AVO) incident.

The Logie award-winning actor first went public with the investment manager in November.

However, things took a dramatic turn one week later when police were called to Gordon’s Double Bay home and took out an AVO against British-born Blackler on Gordon’s behalf.

He was not charged, however, he was banned from approaching Gordon after drinking or taking illicit drugs as part of the standard conditions of the AVO.

Gordon is now dating Sydney businessman Aidan Walsh.

“We have a nine year age gap so there’s other things that we’re trying to figure out before we even get to that point (marriage). So definitely not sure at this stage if he’s the one,” she said before their split.

Maguire, 34, moved to Melbourne from Sydney last year following her 2018 split with Bachelorette runner-up Jarrod Woodgate from Sophie Monk’s season.

She met Zukowski, 25, at a nightclub and while there was an instant connection, they struggled to make the relationship work during lockdown.

Billionaire heiress Francesca Packer is also said to be single after reportedly breaking up with personal trainer Adam Cooper.

The granddaughter of the late media tycoon Kerry Packer debuted her relationship with the handsome Pilates instructor just before Christmas, but the romance has since fizzled out.
