Nicole took to her Instagram Stories to share a cryptic update, noting, "Some of you have noticed that I've been quiet and not posting much, so just wanted to provide an update." The dating show alum added, "While Love Island was an amazing experience, things have not been easy since leaving the villa."

She concluded her post by thanking her followers for their understanding. The rumors of a split between Nicole and Kendall began circulating after the couple stopped sharing photos.

Additionally, Kendall expressed uncertainty about his future with Nicole in a recent episode 'The Viall Files' podcast. He shared, "I don't know the future. I don't know what's going to happen in a week or a day. It will be a lie if I said 100 per cent chance because I just don't know." Kendall added, "But I believe that when we have those conversations, it can go well."
