The 18-year-old model needs more time for her work and study and claims she wants to 'focus on herself' right now.

Ireland Baldwin, Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger’s daughter, has split up with her boyfriend.

The 18-year old model decided to end her relationship with pro paddle surfer Slater Trout because she wants to focus on her work and education.

She told People magazine: "I love him more than anything, but I need to focus on myself right now."

After meeting in 2012, the couple started dating the following year. Ireland had confessed in May that he was her ‘best friend’ who she could laugh and act silly with. She also said they hardly ever had any litigious ‘moments’.

Last year’s engagement rumours that spread when she was spotted wearing a silver ring turned out to be unfounded: Ireland has now decided to put herself first.

Her radical change was mirrored in a (potentially post-break up) hair transformation. After ditching her signature platinum blonde, last week she posted a picture of herself on Instagram showing off her new lilac locks.

Talking about her style choice, she told E! news: “"I just really wanted to go lavender and it's going to fade out. I wanted change! I love my platinum hair and that's who I am, but this is fun. Why not? It's temporary and fun."
