Chelsea's new star DUMPED by stunning influencer girlfriend during Club World Cup after shock cheating allegations
Delap, 22, was previously involved with Leanna Paul, a 25-year-old model and social media influencer.
However, due to the England U21 international's behaviour, the relationship looks to have come to an end.
According to reports, the final straw for Paul was when she received news last month that Delap was flirting with an unnamed woman.
Having dismissed previous cheating allegations claims without evidence, the model and influencer was reportedly forced to end the relationship this time around after seeing the evidence for herself.
'She immediately blocked him as she didn't believe the first story, but after seeing evidence of her boyfriend speaking to a girl called(…), she immediately phoned him when he was in Miami and told him that she was breaking up with him,' a source told entertainment outlet Glam, Set & Match.
After the break-up, Paul dropped hints about what had happened on her Instagram stories
One post read: 'You can't keep someone loyal by loving them harder.'
Delap moved from Ipswich to Chelsea in a £30 million move earlier this summer.
He inherited the number nine shirt number at Stamford Bridge and is with Enzo Maresca's squad during their ongoing Club World Cup campaign in America.
Delap scored his first Chelsea goal during their 3-0 win over Esperance Tunis earlier in the competition.
He has featured on five occasions during the Club World Cup, starting each of the last four.
Delap looks to be firmly in the hunt to be Chelsea's starting striker come the start of the Premier League season.
Tuesday night sees Delap and co line out against Fluminense in the competition's semi-final stage.
Prior to the brea-up, Paul reportedly dismissed previous cheating claims without evidence
Paul's Instagram account lists her as a blogger and model. She has just under 200,000 followers on the platform.
On TikTok, that number jumps to over 325,000 followers.
She had previously been dating Chelsea's new striker for over a year, only for the relationship come to an end.
Should Chelsea beat Fluminense on Tuesday, they will line out in the Club World Cup final on Sunday where they will meet either PSG or Real Madrid.

Wimbledon's electronic line-calling woes continue as boos greet latest malfunction
Wimbledon was forced to explain yet another issue with the live electronic line-calling system on Tuesday after it malfunctioned again, only a day after it had expressed confidence that the problems that led to an embarrassing error on Sunday had been fixed. The latest incident occurred in the quarter-final between Taylor Fritz and Karen Khachanov. Serving at 0-15 in the opening game of the fourth set, Fritz missed his first serve, which was correctly called out. He then landed his second serve but when he hit his next forehand, which landed around four feet in, the automated system called 'fault', thinking it was a serve. The second serve had not been registered by the speed gun and the umpire, Louise Azemar-Engzell, was quickly on the phone to the control room. 'Ladies and gentleman, we will be replaying the last point due to a malfunction. The system is now working,' she said, to a smattering of boos from the crowd on No 1 Court. A Wimbledon spokesperson said the mistake had occurred because the ballboy was still on court when Fritz started his serve. 'The player's service motion began while the [boy] was still crossing the net and therefore the system didn't recognise the start of the point. As such the chair umpire instructed the point be replayed.' Wimbledon replaced line judges with automated live-calling this year and the incident on Tuesday is the latest in a string of issues, which peaked on Sunday when the system failed to call a backhand by Britain's Sonay Kartal that landed clearly long, which should have given Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova a 5-4 lead in the first set. At the time, the Russian accused the tournament of home bias but her anger abated as she went on to win the match. Tournament organisers said the technology had been turned off by mistake on that section of the court. Subsequently they 'removed the ability for Hawk-Eye operators to manually deactivate the ball tracking'. Khachanov said afterwards that he preferred having human line judges. '[The question] is why this is happening,' he said. 'Is it just like error of the machine or what's the reason? Sometimes it's scary to let machine do what they want.' Sign up to The Recap The best of our sports journalism from the past seven days and a heads-up on the weekend's action after newsletter promotion Fritz, however, preferred the automated system. 'In that situation it helped me because I got a first serve out of it,' he said. 'There's going to be some issues here and there. To be honest, I still think it's much better to just have the electronic line calling as opposed to the umpires because I do like not having to think about challenging calls in the middle of points. I think it's a better system.'

Arsenal consider player swap in £68m Eberechi Eze transfer with Crystal Palace
Arsenal are considering offering a player as part of their bid to sign Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace, according to reports. Eze is on Arsenal's shortlist for the summer transfer window with Mikel Arteta keen to recruit a versatile attacking player alongside a new striker. Palace, however, are standing firm over Eze's availability and are demanding that Arsenal, or any other interested club, pay the 27-year-old's release clause, which could total £68 million after bonuses. Arsenal have already spent £55m on signing Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad, plus a further £5m on Kepa Arrizabalaga, while they are also close to agreeing a €80m (£69m) deal with Sporting CP to sign Viktor Gyokeres and are set to sign Brentford captain Christian Norgaard for £12m. Eze would represent another significant outlay and according to The Sun, Arsenal are considering the prospect of including a player as part of their bid to Palace. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link so we can send you football news tailored to you. The report adds that Eze is open to joining Arsenal, who are willing to offer Palace a 'promising defender' as a makeweight in the deal to sign Palace's talisman. Liverpool have also considered a move for Eze while last month, Paul Scholes urged Manchester United to sign the midfielder after he emerged as one of the only positives from England's 3-1 defeat to Senegal. Speaking after last summer's transfer window, Palace chairman Steve Parish admitted he was 'astounded' by the lack of interest in Eze. More Trending 'I was really worried from a club point of view of losing Michael [Olise] and Ebbs in the same window and we didn't have in Ebbs the interest that I thought we would have,' Parish told Sky Sports. 'I was astounded. Genuinely astounded. I mean, the guy's just an outstanding footballer, an outstanding person.' Eze, meanwhile, has made no secret of his desire to join a club that can challenge for the Premier League title. 'Everything there is for me to win, I want to win, and I'll do anything I possibly can to win the Premier League,' he told Sky Sports in May. For more stories like this, check our sport page.

Reviving the lost art of learning and reciting poetry
J. Alfred Prufrock certainly makes for more pleasurable listening than the Shipping Forecast or the typical dire warnings about warm weather. Those tuned in to Radio 4 before 8am on Tuesday will have enjoyed Freddie Fox, scion of the acting dynasty, reciting TS Eliot in tremendous tones — the morning spread out against the sky. The occasion for this recital was a fine one. Monday marked this year's finals of Poetry by Heart, a national competition for reciting poetry. Pupils from across England descended on Shakespeare's Globe to recite their favourite stanzas. Some 200,000 children have taken part in the competition since it was founded in 2013, supported by Andrew Motion, the poet laureate at the time, to encourage the teaching of poetry. • The power of poetry for kids Reciting poetry is something of a lost art. The compulsory requirement for students to learn poems was scotched from the curriculum in 1944. Yet in 2012, it made a surprise return to the English syllabus. Some teachers complained it was an outdated practice, yet the success of the Poetry by Heart competition suggests they were wrong. Plus, according to a study by Cambridge University, there are benefits to reciting poetry. Its Poetry and Memory Project concluded that those who memorised poems found it provided a useful container for thoughts, a comfort zone for the brain that helped forge new emotional connections. And which poem did it find was most commonly known for recital? The Owl and the Pussy-Cat. Fox, a patron of Poetry by Heart, explained why knowing great poems is important. 'It's a compass, a road map when it's in your head to navigate the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune … a way of giving words to those problems when you don't quite perhaps have the words yourself.' The pupils who appeared at the Globe can thank the work of Poetry By Heart for reviving this lost life skill.
