Ronnie O’Sullivan’s ex-fiancee Laila Rouass speaks for first time on split from snooker legend after decade together

RONNIE O'SULLIVAN'S ex-fiancee Laila Rouass has spoken for the first time since their split.

The actress appeared at the Mariposa Ball in Marylebone, London, alongside a host of celebs.

Laila spoke to press and was asked about her split from O'Sullivan in September.

The former Eastenders star told The Mirror: “I am going to keep that under wraps for now until there is something to speak about.”

Laila and O'Sullivan had been together since 2012 and had separated previously in 2022 before patching things up.

The Rocket moved out of their home in the East London-Essex, area with their £2million house put up for sale.

A friend revealed the seven-time world champion is settled in his new pad, which contains a snooker table.

Laila was guarded when asked about the break-up but previously expressed how she was feeling not long after the split.

She wrote on social media in December: “Break ups can strip you down to your essence. I got through mine by using pain as fuel to take control because no matter what, we will lose parts of ourselves in relationships. It’s normal, don’t beat yourself up.

“One thing I’m conscious of not doing is trying to get back to what I was. No, i’m discovering who I’ve become.

“I’ve gone through various emotions...hurt, pain, anger but what I’ve realised about anger is that it’s bottomless. It can go on and on and once you’re in that black hole...it’s very hard to drag yourself back out.

“Anyone going through a break up...I want to tell you that you will come out the other side. I have and I feel so much better, stronger and sexier.

“Life has a funny way of throwing in a plot twist here and there. I’ve even met an Arab Viking...like...how did that happen? Do they exist even?

“Just roll with the punches because life is so much richer, so much fuller when you drop the anger, the resentment and the regret.

“I’m looking back at my last relationship with a smile and wave, because time moves on and I don’t like to play catch up.”
