Freddy Brazier has said that he is ‘still in love’ with ex-girlfriend Holly Swinburn, following their split last month.

Freddy, 21, and Holly, 22, welcomed daughter Isla Jade together in March this year.

The couple, who met via TikTok in June 2025, have had a turbulent relationship, first rekindling their romance in the months after her pregnancy announcement.

While it seemed as though they had broken up again by November, they reconciled in time for Isla Jade’s birth a few months later.

However, by April, they had split again, with reports emerging of a series of blistering rows between the new parents.

Feelings still linger from Freddy’s end, though, and the Race Across the World star has shed further light on the state of his relationship with Holly.

Speaking to The Sun, Freddy said: ‘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 and things like that.

‘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.’

Freddy is currently living with grandmother Jackiey Budden in London, following a tumultuous few years for the model and podcaster.

His relationship with his gran – mother of reality TV star and Freddy’s mum, Jade Goody – was the source of much tension between him and his family.

This included dad Jeff Brazier threatening legal action to prevent ‘bad influence’ Jackiey from seeing her grandson.

However, the birth of baby Isla has brought Freddy and Jeff closer together,while Freddy has admitted that he’s ‘doing therapy’ in an attempt to get his life back on track.

According to The Sun, Freddy – who previously admitted that he was ‘sectioned’ is considering moving back into his dad’s Essex home, or moving in with his grandmother on Jeff’s side.

‘I feel like I’ve given back to my dad for everything that he’s done for me in some ways,’ Freddy said of his current relationship with Jeff.

‘Little baby, Isla, that’s priceless, and that’s the best gift I’ve ever given to him, so it’s nice.’

Isla Jade takes her name from Freddy’s mother, who died of cervical cancer when he was just four years old.

‘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 previously told the tabloid.

Freddy’s pivot to being a single father comes months after his split from Holly.

‘It’s over again – it’s always been very rocky between them, and everyone hoped the new baby would smooth things over,’ a source told The Sun in April.

‘Sadly, they couldn’t make it work and went back to fighting.’

It was later claimed that the source of their breakup was down to Holly’s concerns about Freddy’s relationship with grandma Jackiey who he allegedly ‘refused’ to let meet the baby.

The Sun reported that Freddy ‘packed his bags’ and set off on a holiday to Gran Canaria with ‘a friend of his nan’s.’

The source added: ‘Holly loves Isla Jade and is taking motherhood really seriously, but Freddy is the not same – despite all the “happy family pictures” they posted together on social media.’

‘It’s a bitter blow for Holly after their row and shows he’s doubled down,’ a source said.

‘They have unfollowed each other on Instagram and Holly is especially furious he has left her and their baby so soon after the birth.

‘It’s not how she imagined her first weeks of motherhood would be.’

Holly later shared a video online which showed 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 that she is ‘done with this’.
