The couple split in March this year months before their business demise became public knowledge.
Francesca was last romantically linked to personal trainer Adam Cooper.
The couple went their separate ways in March, just days after Francesca made the uncharacteristic decision to delete all of her social media accounts.
‘It was great for a while, but they had very different lifestyles. In the end, it just didn’t work out,’ the source said.
Francesca hadn’t featured on Adam’s Instagram profile since he shared a selfie of the pair enjoying a romantic getaway on April 19.

In 2016, Francesca played down being an heiress in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar.
‘It’s just not relevant anymore. Everyone on the planet inherits something, so everyone on the planet is an heir or heiress in some way,’ she said.
‘Do I feel like the family empire is being placed on my shoulders, all wrapped up in a nice little bow? No. I don’t think about it at all.
‘It’s not a term that is part of my vocabulary whatsoever.’
