But Zac took to Instagram to share his heartbreak over the split after the pair had found love last year.
The heartbroken star wrote in a short statement on his Instagram story: "Hey guys, just thought I'd let you know that Lucinda and I have decided to go our separate ways."
He admitted: "I'm not feeling too good about the situation and appreciate all the support so far."
It comes amid reports Lucinda instigated the break-up to focus on her career.

She had reportedly been offered a spot on the Love Island spin-off All Stars and was hoping to join as a bombshell.
The Sun previously revealed that stars who failed to find 'the one' the first time around, are offered £2,000 a week to take part in the latest series.
If Lucinda was to return she would make this weekly rate and be in for a chance to win the £50,000 prize.
The former couple are no longer following each other on social media and she has also wiped all traces of Zac from her Instagram page.

Love Island's Millie Court, Chloe Burrows and Lucinda Strafford reunite for wild night out
The Brighton native failed to find love on ITV2's series seven in June 2021, despite forming connections with Brad McClelland and Aaron Francis.
She headed Down Under two months ago in a bid to meet Mr Right on the dating programme's Australian version.
Lucinda previously revealed that she hoped to have a "future" with Zac.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun in December, Lucinda said: "We're doing quite well at the moment, I'm surprised at how well I did in there.
"I was definitely surprised about the connection I had with Zac - I thought I was going to go in there and not meet anyone, so the fact that I found a genuine connection with a guy was kind of funny, but mainly because he was playing hard to get and I love that.
"I love the chase," she added.
UNLUCKY IN LOVE
She previously dated footballer Aaron Connolly but they parted ways after police were called in the middle of a row.
Cops were called to Aaron's £1.5million mansion in Brighton in 2022.
They had an explosive row in the early hours after she confronted him over her suspicions the striker, 22, was cheating on her after a night out with pals at Shooshh nightclub in Brighton.
A source said: “Their relationship had been toxic for some time before this."
An insider told us that they "argued" about her going on Love Island which she hoped would help boost her online fashion boutique.
The couple were still close when she went into the villa and she cracked on with co-stars including Brad, Danny, and Aaron - all while football star Aaron looked after her pet dog back at home.
Lucinda denied the secret romance when she was dumped from the show.
She insisted at the time: "I am completely and utterly single.
"Never in a million years would I go on Love Island if I was in a relationship, and I'm sure if I had a boyfriend, he wouldn't be very happy with it either.
"We ended quite dramatically at the start of March but then we made friends."

She defiantly added: "Hopefully, he's moved on and I definitely have."
However, after touching back down in the UK she jumped back into the arms of the football pro.
