Former Boyzone star breaks up with boyfriend

Stephen Gately has split up with his boyfriend.

The former Boyzone star had been together with Eloy de Jong for more than three years.

Stephen has moved back to Dublin to live with his sister Michelle after the couple sold their Amsterdam home.

He told a tabloid: "We're both heartbroken but things just weren't working out. There's no real reason - it just fizzled out.

"It wasn't meant to be. There's no one else involved and we're both very close friends but not in a relationship. We're very sad."
