She later dismissed the speculation, telling Daily Mail Australia: ‘I can’t even like a post without it being about my relationship? I like thousands of quotes/memes that don’t relate to my life at all.’
‘Nothing to do with my relationship,’ she added.
It comes after Angie fueled speculation that she’s split from Carlin when she told fans to ‘stay out of it’ after noticing they had unfollowed each other on Instagram.
She also blamed the activity on a ‘glitch in the system.’
The pair were rumoured to have quietly parted ways several weeks ago, after their supporters noticed they were seemingly living separate lives.
She wrote on the BachieFunny Instagram fan account on Sunday: ‘Leave it. If you don’t know, you don’t know,’ she added.

Interestingly, Angie did not deny that they had split up. Instead of clarifying the status of their relationship, she told people it was ‘none of their business’.
‘Everyone got their happy ending when the show was on,’ she wrote.
‘Now it’s no one’s business. It’s my real life. So best people stay out of it unless they know for real what someone is going through.’
