The former Doctor Who star, 41, (pictured on Friday) and the singer, 38, share five-year-old daughter, Tallulah, reportedly split after lockdown had a major impact on their relationship
‘But the relationship ran its course and they decided they would be better off apart. Like many couples, lockdown was quite tough for them, so they have had time to really think about what they want their future to look like.
‘They will always treasure the time they had together and have many happy memories.
‘Now they are concentrating on co-parenting their daughter and their separate careers.’
MailOnline has contacted Billie’s representatives for a comment.
Former Doctor Who star Billie was previously married to DJ Chris Evans, who is 17 years her senior, and actor-turned-political activist Laurence Fox, 45, with whom she has two sons.
Billie and Johnny welcomed their daughter Tallulah in January 2019 after it was confirmed in July 2018 that Billie was expecting her first child with the rocker.
A source told the Mirror at the time: ‘Billie and Johnny are delighted. They can’t wait to welcome the new addition to their family.’
She revealed she would love to have more children back in February, 2018, admitting: ‘In my dream world I’d have loads.’

Billie and her ex first met at the Boogaloo pub on London’s Archway Road in 2016.
Before adding: ‘I was one of four and it’s taxing for both parents and kids. I do like the idea of chaos.’
In April 2019, Johnny revealed that a lot of his success was down to Billie’s support as she helped him get to the end of a sometimes bumpy journey.
When they met the attraction was reportedly instant and mutual.
‘She challenged me. She kept asking me questions like, What’s your five-year plan? Where are you headed musically? And telling me I had to be accountable for everything I did,’ he said
‘I felt my head had been stuck in this way of just thinking next job, next tour and I wanted to keep talking to her. Luckily she felt the same way about me.
‘She’s made my life better in so many ways and I just feel I now know who I am, I know what I can do, I know where I want to be. And that’s with her.’
Billie’s Instagram posts have been wiped clean since before September, 2022 – just months before the reported break up.
None of the star’s posts since have included Johnny and it has been heavily surrounded by her very successful acting career.
Billie’s relationship with Johnny cames after her divorce from husband Laurence, which was finalised in November 2017.

The pair met when they performed together in the stage play Treats in 2006, and deemed it ‘love at first sight’.
They married on New Year’s Eve in West Sussex the following year, and went on to welcome their two sons in 2008 and 2012.
However, the acting couple confirmed they were splitting in March 2016, and they were granted a decree-nisi.
Billie was previously married to radio host Chris Evans, who she wed secretly back in 2001 at the age of 18, sparking controversy due to their sixteen-year age gap.
The couple divorced three years later in 2004, but have remained close friends ever since.
Prior to her first marriage, Piper also dated EastEnders star Danny Dyer, having split from popstar Richie Neville.
As one of Doctor Who’s most famous assistants, fans also went wild when unconfirmed reports suggested Piper and Doctor Who lead, Matt Smith, went on a date in 2006.
