Freddy Brazier 'still in love' with ex-girlfriend after split

Freddy Brazier has revealed that he remains 'still in love' with his ex-girlfriend Holly Swinburn, following their split last month. The couple, who met via TikTok in June 2025, welcomed daughter Isla Jade in March 2026. Their relationship has been turbulent, with multiple breakups and reconciliations.

Relationship timeline and current status

The pair first rekindled their romance after Holly's pregnancy announcement but split again by November 2025. They reconciled in time for Isla Jade's birth but parted ways in April 2026 amid reports of heated arguments. Speaking to The Sun, Freddy stated: 'Yes, I'm single, but I'm a dad. I don't want to be with people. I don't want to chat to people and entertain loads of girls. It doesn't bother me anymore. Now that I've got a little girl, I feel like I respect women a little bit more, and I'm still in love with my baby's mother. I care about her a lot.'

Living situation and family dynamics

Freddy currently lives with his grandmother Jackiey Budden in London, a relationship that has caused tension with his father Jeff Brazier. Jeff previously threatened legal action to prevent Jackiey from seeing Freddy, citing her as a 'bad influence.' However, the birth of Isla Jade has improved Freddy's relationship with his father. Freddy told The Sun: 'I feel like I've given back to my dad for everything that he's done for me. Little baby, Isla, that's priceless, and that's the best gift I've ever given to him, so it's nice.'

Therapy and future plans

Freddy, who previously admitted being 'sectioned,' is now undergoing therapy. He is considering moving back into his father's Essex home or moving in with his grandmother on Jeff's side. Isla Jade's middle name honors Freddy's mother, Jade Goody, who died of cervical cancer when he was four. 'I think it's lovely to incorporate the name Jade into her name as a middle name, as I am sure there will be part of my mother in Isla,' he said.

Reasons for the split

A source told The Sun in April that the breakup stemmed from Holly's concerns about Freddy's relationship with Jackiey, whom he allegedly refused to let meet the baby. Freddy reportedly 'packed his bags' and went on a holiday to Gran Canaria with a friend of Jackiey's. The source added: 'Holly loves Isla Jade and is taking motherhood really seriously, but Freddy is not the same – despite all the “happy family pictures” they posted together on social media.' Holly later shared a video of Freddy sticking up his middle finger, declaring: 'Bye, enjoy, with a dog and a baby – have fun.' Since the split, Holly reportedly told a friend she is 'done with this.'
