Sheridan Smith 'splits from boxer boyfriend' as romance 'fizzles out'

Sheridan Smith has reportedly called it quits with her boxer boyfriend after their romance 'fizzled out'.

The 42-year-old actress began dating Dave 'Rocky' Ryan, a former boxer who is also the brother of her friend Sandy Ryan, last year.

The Benidorm star posted snaps of him on social media several times in recent months, including the pair enjoying getaways and nights out together.

Sheridan also shared loved-up images of the pair, including one where they were dressed up as they posed for a picture with their arms wrapped around each other. The gorgeous blonde star had posted the image with a single red heart.

However, they are now said to have split up, with Sheridan also reportedly signing up to the celebrity dating app Raya - the invite-only app matches single celebrities and A-listers.

A source claimed: "Sheridan decided to end things with Dave a few weeks ago after their romance fizzled out."

Speaking to The Sun, they added: "Thankfully her stage show has kept her busy and there is no bad blood after they ended on good terms."

OK! have contacted Sheridan's representatives for comment.

The news comes as Sheridan's West End show 'Opening Night' was cut short by two months after receiving mixed reviews. The producers said they are shutting down the production early due to "a challenging financial landscape."

In January last year, it was reported that Sheridan was looking for love on the celebrity dating app Raya. The Lincolnshire-born star previously dated former insurance broker Jamie Horn in July 2021, but they split just under a year after they welcomed their son Billy together.

Sheridan reportedly met the 34-year-old on the dating app Tinder in 2018. But in 2021, they confirmed they were splitting up and calling off their engagement.

In a statement released at the time, they told the public that "it is with great sadness that we have decided to have some time apart."

They added that the couple "both remain completely committed to raising our beautiful boy Billy together."
