The 33-year-old businessman was killed when his car plunged down a ravine in a crash in Turkey last month that left his on/off girlfriend Yazmin Oukhellou, with serious injuries, and it has now been revealed that Jake had been dating beauty therapist Chloe Hennessey before he died.

A source told MailOnline: "Jake had a complicated love life – but Chloe was his girlfriend and they loved each other.

"She has a close relationship with his family and together they're helping each other get through this terribly sad time."

Chloe, 27, shared a picture of herself and Jake on Instagram, along with some pictures from his funeral, and wrote: "What a beautiful day for a beautiful soul. So happy everyone important that should've been there showed up.

"So many laughs, cries, and happy memories with all his closest loved ones. Hope you can fully rest in peace now fly high Jakey. Love you forever always in our hearts."

She also shared a cryptic post, which read: "If only people knew the truth."

Yazmin, 28, was not invited to the funeral, after Jake's mother claimed he must have been distracted at the time of the crash.

The 'TOWIE' star previously shared on social media: "I have been taking some time away from social media to fully focus on my mental and physical recovery.

"I needed this time away to work on healing and processing everything as best I can.

"This has taught me that life is so short and we must cherish our loved ones as much as possible.

"I am so grateful for our memories and the special time that Jake and I shared. I've not stopped thinking about him and I'll miss him always. He will forever hold a special place in my heart."
