Rhys dated TOWIE star Harry in 2013 with the former couple regularly appearing at events together.
In 2014, Harry split from ex Bobby Norris after he told the reality star he had slept with Rhys behind his back.
Only recently, Harry and Bobby were reunited on TOWIE where they addressed their past split and Rhys, although the latter was never directly named.
Rhys’ last Instagram post was on April 3 where he shared a photo of himself in Tenerife captioned: ‘Quality time with myself.’
Prior to that, he had spent time in Dubai where he had shared several pictures of himself enjoying various activities such as kayaking with friends.
Rhys was good friends with Gemma and they regularly went on fun holidays together.
In January, Rhys shared a sweet birthday post to Gemma where he shared a collection of throwback photos.
He captioned it with: ‘Happy Birthday My Gucci @gemmacollins love & miss you loads! Over & out crackle crackle…. ✨.’
