Rather than being open with their relationship, Smith and King kept their dates a secret and usually hung out in the less popular pubs in London or at home. Unfortunately, their busy schedules did not allow them to see each other as often, and eventually, they broke up.

It is unknown whether the pair went separate ways amicably, as they had an awkward run-in soon after. During an event, Smith failed to acknowledge their ex and went straight to their dressing room area.
