An insider revealed the long-distance relationship took its toll on the sportsman, who had been regularly jetting out to LA to see the blonde bombshell.
Speaking at Celebrity Bear Hunt‘s Leicester Square screening last night, Danny confirmed the story, revealing they are still on friendly terms however.
The former England player told The Sun and other press how AnnaLynne supported him as he took part in the Netflix survival show.
Along with a cast of other celebs, Danny flew out to Costa Rica last year to take part in a slew of tough-challenges, all whilst hoping to evade the capture of explorer Bear Grylls.
He said: “We’re not together right now, but she really enjoyed [watching] it. We were just talking about it and she really enjoyed it. She was so positive.
“There was one time I phoned her during it and I was thinking about how I’m going to get out of here. She was like, ‘Look, I’m down, I’m going.’ She was awesome.”
Danny and AnnaLynne seemed infatuated with each other through most of last year – but a series of alleged fallouts brought an end to the romance.
A source told MailOnline: “They have known each other for years after meeting at on celebrity dating app Raya but being in an official relationship hasn’t worked out for them.
“Danny was spending the majority of his time in America to be with AnnaLynne but since their split he has been at home, which is the biggest sign they’re over for good.
“Their romance was very turbulent, Danny is going through a very difficult divorce and wasn’t able to give AnnaLynne everything she needed.”
The Sun contacted a representative for Danny at the time.
Danny and AnnaLynne became an item last April, just months after he split from ex-wife Victoria Rose.
He launched their relationship by saying: “My miracle… loving you is the easiest thing in the world.”
The pair bonded over their passion for spirituality and were pictured on holiday in Egypt and on the beach in LA.
Last year she bravely spoke out about overcoming sex addiction, saying: “I used to say to people, ‘Yes, your body is a temple, my body is a brothel’.
“I had a morbid sense of humour about it.
“I got off on the fact sex is this thing I could have all day, every day and never get tired of, and no one could keep up with me.”
Danny moved to Beverly Hills in September shortly after speaking out about his relationship with Victoria, claiming she told him numerous lies.
He said: “When I look back now, I realise how much she hoodwinked me. But I really wanted to believe her.
“I feel like I don’t know who she is. I don’t think I ever did because I have no idea what is the truth.”
The pair married in 2021 and got engaged after just four months of dating in August 2020.
In November 2023, just weeks before Danny appeared in the Strictly Christmas special, they announced that they had split up after Victoria claimed to have seen “messages on his phone”.
