The former islander opens up in an interview with Stephen Leng on Fubar Radio this week.
"We were just better off as friends… We had such busy schedules..."
"And we both realised that it was better to break it off now and we could still be friends."
Harley doesn't seem phased by the split as she admits she's loving life as a single lady.
"I’m happy being single at the moment. I’m just enjoying myself."
She goes on, "I’m having fun. I don’t kiss and tell but it is nice."

Harley denies rumours that they split up weeks before Chris' Instagram announcement.
Speculation began when they sat separately during the Love Island reunion episode.
The reality star sets the record straight, "That wasn’t anything to do with us."
She goes on, "We got made a seating plan and poor Calum [Macleod] was in the middle of us."
"We swapped and they were like, no, no, back to the other side."
"There was no fall out, no nothing. We spent the whole night together."

It wasn't until Harley approached him that he even considered a relationship with her.
He had said she was very young so it didn't even cross his mind.
However, after spending some time together they realised they were compatible so they coupled up.
Harley's been photographed kissing 2018 islander Sam Bird.
