The Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice actor, 33, first met the 19-year-old Bristol University student at Mahiki nightclub in London and it all appeared to be going very well.

Cavill frequently talked about how supportful she was as a partner.

He once said: "She protects me and is protective of me when I am having a hard time. She's there when I need looking after and the world is a little too heavy. Then she will happily take that weight for me and make sure that I am OK."

He also thanked Tara for treating him as a "normal" person: "Tara allows me to be me and she doesn't have a problem with that. She treats me like a normal human being."

The split has said to come as a surprise to King. A source told The Sun on Sunday: "Henry and Tara have split - it is official. Henry said the two of them could remain friends and he even invited her to his recent birthday party, which she went to, but the relationship is over."

They concluded: "It has been very difficult for Tara, who has been saying he was the love of her life."
