Australian influencer Sam Guggenheimer has lashed out at rumours circulating online that she and her ex-boyfriend cheated on each other.
Ms Guggenheimer, an internet personality who has a huge audience on social media, dated Western Bulldogs player Caleb Poulter for two and a half years, but they split in January.
Announcing the break-up on the Just For Girls podcast, Guggenheimer said the relationship had “run its course”.
“Caleb and I are no longer together. I had a beautiful relationship, and I will cherish our relationship for the rest of my life but things happen,” she said.
Since then, ugly rumours about cheating have spread online and Guggenheimer moved to shut them down.
In a since-deleted TikTok video to her 220,000 followers, Guggenheimer said there was no cheating by either party and that the couple grew apart naturally.
“I need to set records straight [because] I’m sick of staying silent,” she said, according to a report in Perth Now.
She explained they had a “beautiful relationship” and added there had been “nothing bad involved”.
However, since the break-up, they have broken off contact.
“Caleb and I had a very healthy and beautiful relationship. I have nothing but love for Caleb, and I hope that he’s doing well,” she continued.
“Caleb and I do not talk anymore, Caleb and I did not cheat on each other, you guys don’t know when Caleb and I broke up and there was no cheating involved.
“There was nothing bad involved.”
She also addressed the rumour that she had been “controlling” of Poulter during their relationship.
“Caleb went out almost every second weekend when he wasn’t playing footy and I had no issue with it,” she said, according to the Daily Mail.
“I loved him going out with his friends I thought it was really important and I will stand by that and I’m pretty sure Caleb would back me.”
And she slapped down suggestions she had cheated with Sopha Dopha’s ex.
“The second rumour is that I hooked up with my friend Jordan and this is honestly laughable at this point.
“Jordan and I were friends before I was friends with Soph. I have nothing but love and respect for Soph. I don’t think she’s a bad person.”
