The pair kept a low profile, both keeping details of their relationship relatively private.

However, in a rare chat last year, Fox spoke with The Daily Telegraph, saying she is grateful to have a partner that understands what she goes through as a professional athlete.

“There’s always a bit of competition, especially if we’re training together,” Fox said.

“It is really special to be able to share that together. And the fact that he understands what I’m going through.

“It also helps that we go to bed early together.”

She also spoke about one day starting a family with Biazizzo

“Maybe there’ll be an opportunity to see if I want to have a baby and come back,” Fox said.

“They’re conversations that we’ll definitely be having in the next few years, probably.”

Neither Fox or Biazizzo have spoken publicly about the split.
