Jack told the Sun: ‘Myself and Casey got together when we were both single.
‘It was a whirlwind romance and shortly after had the amazing news that she was expecting which we were both over the moon about.
‘It didn’t work out romantically for us, however as I’ve said previously we are still great friends and have been for around 10 years.’
MailOnline has contacted Jack’s representative for comment.
It is thought Casey has previously worked as a beauty adviser for Selfridges and is now employed by a nursing agency, which works with the NHS and private sector.

Jack admitted that this was news he wanted to keep to himself for a while in order to come to terms with how his life will drastically change.
Alongside the image, he wrote: ‘I’m normally a very open book and share most of my life on my social media. This blessing I chose not to. I’m just a normal geeza, who went on a tv show, which throws you straight into the public eye…which I will forever be grateful for.

And despite being ‘knackered’, new parents Jack and Casey are said to be ‘loving every second of this adventure’, reports the Sun.
The news came 10 months after Jack split from his ex-girlfriend Dani, 22, who he was crowned champion of Love Island 2018 with.
And on Saturday Dani revealed she wasn’t told about her ex-boyfriend’s baby news ahead of him sharing in on Instagram.
The Love Island star, 24, appeared on Rylan Clarke’s BBC R2 show to discuss her book, where she was quizzed about her former flames shock news.

Dani revealed the announcement is just as much of a surprise to her as anyone, as she admitted she found out through the press and had no prior knowledge.
Introducing Dani to the show, Rylan told listeners that they had both ‘just found out’ about Jack’s announcement.
When Rylan asked Dani if she knew before, she said: ‘No of course not! No news! When everyone else found out, I found out’
The radio presenter then gave the reality star a chance to offer her congratulations, to which she sweetly said: ‘Everyone loves a baby, congratulations!’
Just before the interview, Dani broke her social media silence as she shared a glamorous selfie hours after her former flame posted the news on his own page.
Dani and Jack split in March last year following almost a year together, after they were crowned champions of the 2018 series of ITV2 dating show Love Island.
The pair’s relationship lasted less than a year with Jack confirming the end of their romance in March 2019.
In an Instagram post, Jack wrote: ‘There is no easy way to say this and it isn’t going to be an easy time but me an Dani are not in a relationship anymore.
‘We will always care a lot for each other and have love for each other and I mean that from the bottom of my heart and I wish her nothing but happiness.
Loved-up: Weeks after their split, Dani was pictured snogging boyfriend Sammy Kimmence, who she dated prior to her relationship with Jack and reunited with after
‘We have some amazing memories together and have been through a lot but sometimes things aren’t meant to be and we really did try to make it work but it unfortunately didn’t and that is life.’
‘That’s all I have to say, a break up is hard enough as it is for both of us let alone in the public eye so I hope everyone is considerate and understands this. X.’
Weeks after their split, Dani was pictured snogging boyfriend Sammy Kimmence, who she dated prior to her relationship with Jack and reunited with after.
