Glamorous travelling couple Jack Morris and Lauren Bullen have shared with fans what’s happening with their $1.2 million mansion in Bali, just weeks after revealing they had split.

British-born Mr Morris, 30, and his Australian girlfriend Ms Bullen, 28, surprised fans around the world this month when they revealed on Instagram they’d broken up.

Many of those fans had questions about what would be happening to the former couple’s dream Bali home, which they built for a whopping $1.2 million.

“Our Bali villa will be turning into a rental sometime later this year,” Bullen, who posts as @gypsealust, said on Instagram Stories.

“We will still keep the house together, but neither of us will live in it.

“Hope to be welcoming you all soon.”

Bullen has previously said turning the villa into a rental was their plan all along.

“It was never our intention to live in this house forever,” she said late last year.

“Bali pre-COVID has great rental return. It was always a business plan with the build. We thought we’d live here for two to three years and then rent it out.

“Bali will always be our second home.”

The former couple’s three-storey Bali home includes a marble swimming pool, sunken lounge room and home cinema theatre.

They built it in 2019 after failing to find the right home in Bali.

Earlier in April, the glamour couple took to social media to reveal to their combined five million followers they had split.

“It’s really hard for me to find words for this post. and a post I really never thought I’d be making,” Ms Bullen wrote alongside several photos of the pair together.

“But life happened & Jack and I decided to split last month.

“This for sure was the hardest decision I’ve ever made. Sadly the last year we let our relationship slip away from under us.”

Ms Bullen said while “from the outside it looked like we had everything you could want and more”, there was one thing missing in their relationship.

“One thing was missing,” she wrote.

“Something more important to me than anything, happiness.”

Ms Bullen praised her now ex-partner, saying he was “the best thing” to come into her life.

“We had an instant and inseparable connection,” she wrote.

“I’m so proud of everything we achieved together.

“You pushed me to work harder and dream bigger and I was always so inspired by your dedication and determination to succeed.”

Mr Morris, originally from Manchester, echoed Ms Bullen’s post, writing that the decision to end their relationship was “difficult” for both of them, but a “decision we know is for the best”.

“I spent by far the best years of my life with this girl, and I’ll cherish those memories forever,” he wrote.

“It’s pretty rare to find someone you instantly click with, share the same dreams with, and then be fortunate enough to go out and take on the world together.”

“Who knows where this next chapter will take us, wherever it does, I’ll always be so thankful for the years we spent together, and for our friendship that we’ll always continue to share,” he added.
