Tamera Foster's romance may be coming to a close.
The 16-year-old singer has struggled to find the time to see Joshante Amihaya and though he says he is "single" on Facebook, insiders insist the romance isn't yet completely done and dusted.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Yes, it's true. The relationship is in trouble.
"It's been hard for them to see each other as she is on the show and is desperate to win.
"[But] they haven't split as far as she's concerned. They're on the rocks."
When quizzed on Ask.fm about why he had split from Tamera, Joshante replied: "Ask her."
News of a split is said to be welcomed by 'X Factor' producers and show chief Simon Cowell, who worry a boyfriend could be a distraction for the teenage hopeful.
An insider said: "Tamera will go on to great things, no matter what happens on 'The X Factor'. But Cowell's mob would much rather she was single without any boyfriends to lead her astray."
Tamera and Joshante have had an on/off relationship since she stole him from another woman last year.
Joshante, 20, previously said: "What she wants, she gets, and when I was in a relationship, she wanted me.
"We were texting each other and we kissed several times behind my girlfriend's back, although we didn't sleep together."
And he also admitted to trust issues between them.
He said: "Tamera and I dated briefly but split up after rowing over trust issues.
"We didn't speak for two months and both had other relationships. But Tamera changed her mind."
