But the two have decided to call it quits – four years after the pair started dating.
Speaking to Turkish news outlet Fanatik, Iuruc, 42, said: “We decided together with Simona to break up.
“Stop insisting, it’s my last public appearance.
“The rest will be handled by the lawyers in the most civilised way possible.

Fanatik have also stated two-time Grand Slam champion Halep and Iuruc were set to have their religious wedding party on November 13.
They have claimed 300 people were invited to attend the celebration at Romania’s Sinaia Casino.
But they have instead agreed to divorce, with Halep already sorting a lawyer for the divorce proceedings – the team who negotiated her Nike sponsorship deal in 2018.

According to Hollywoods Magazine, Iuruc is worth a whopping £1.72billion with his wealth coming from him being the proud owner of six different multinational companies.
In addition to that, it is claimed he comes from a wealthy family along with working in the real estate market with his mother.
This is the end of his third marriage and Halep’s first.
Halep is back in her native Romania following her US Open first round shock defeat at the hands of Ukraine’s Darija Snihur.
