Chloe Ferry returned to social media on Tuesday after being linked with Newcastle United footballer Kieran Trippier.
The former Geordie Shore star showed off her voluptuous curves in a black bikini while making a rather questionable attempt at paddleboarding during her latest sunshine break.
Chloe, 29, appeared to be struggling as she attempted to pull herself onto the board for an Instagram post.
Sharing her endeavors across social media in reverse order, she wrote: ‘Swipe for reality.’
The post comers after Chloe was seen partying with ex-England international Trippier, 34, who confirmed his separation from wife Charlotte last week.
The Newcastle United defender – capped 54 times by his country – was spotted partying with Geordie Shore star Chloe and her pals including Love Island star Jess Harding at Ushuaia club on the Balearic party island.
In pictures obtained by The Sun, Trippier had his arm around newly single Chloe and the pair were said to be ‘very tactile’ with each other.
The insider told the publication: ‘Chloe and her friends were introduced to Kieran and his mates and they partied together.
‘Kieran was very tactile and put his arm around her when they were together at the club. Chloe is newly single and she was just having some fun.
‘They were together in the day and later on in the evening Chloe was with Kieran and their group of mates.’
After the picture emerged, it was claimed that Trippier’s estranged wife Charlotte is consulting lawyers about their marriage.
Trippier married Charlotte in Cyprus in 2016 and the couple have three children together, Jacob, and two daughters, Esme and Isla.
Sources say that they were keen to keep their split a secret so their children would not have to deal with any upset.
However, it has been reported that Charlotte has a new property where she lives without her estranged husband.
A source said: ‘Charlotte has been open with her friends about getting a divorce. She has been seeking legal advice and is keen to move on with her life.
‘Kieran is a devoted dad but as a partner it hasn’t worked out as Charlotte had hoped.’
The source added that Charlotte had moved house and divorce was ‘the next logical step’ but she wanted their relationship ‘amicable’.
The footballer said on Wednesday in a statement on Instagram stories: ‘I feel I have no choice but to confirm publicly that myself and Charlotte separated over a year ago.
‘Myself and Charlotte separated over a year ago. I have not commented previously as it is a private matter and we want to protect our children.’
Rumours of their split began during last year’s Euros in Germany when Charlotte unfollowed her husband on Instagram on the end of the England’s final group game.
She also did not jet to Germany like other WAGs.
The sportsman announced his retirement from international football in August last year – with MailOnline revealing how he wanted to to focus on life outside the game following his marriage breakdown.
