Jade Thirlwall and Jordan Stephens have reportedly split up after six years of dating. The former Little Mix star, 33, had been in a relationship with Jordan, 34, who is best known as one half of hip hop duo Rizzle Kicks, in 2020 and have lived together for a number of years.
But on Tuesday, it emerged that the two had reportedly decided to call it quits. At the time of writing, it would appear that both Jordan has wiped Jade from his Instagram account, but remain following each other.
A source said: “Jade and Jordan had a very serious and loving relationship but recently they have had some frank discussions about their future and have decided to separate. It’s not been an easy time but they’ve both been throwing themselves into work.
Speaking to The Sun, the source added: “Their friends adore them as a couple and are really hoping they get back together but it’s still very raw at the moment.”
The Mirror has contacted representatives of Jade and Jordan for comment.
Jade, who found fame alongside Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, and Leigh-Anne Pinnock when they became the first group to win The X Factor in 2011, previously told of how she boldly messaged Jordan on Instagram during the lockdown.
However, because of the restrictions that were in place at the time, the pair were forced to begin their relationship virtually.
Speaking on The Jonathan Ross Show, Jade previously explained: “I met someone in lockdown. We met on Zoom. I slid into the DMs. Then we had some Zoom dates.”
She also revealed how they decided to get into the spirit of the video conferencing platform that lots of businesses were using at the time for work meetings and catch-ups.
She added: “Jordan and I did a few Zoom dates in lockdown. We made a joke and said it was business. We put suits and ties on and asked each other questions. I did the full shebang, a full suit. Then we had a socially distanced date in Greenwich Park, apart from each other just chatting.”
Their relationship was confirmed at the Black Lives Matter march in London in July 2020, and hey went Instagram official in September of that year.
Prior to meeting Jordan, Jade had a four-year relationship with The Struts bassist Jed Elliott and he was linked to model Amber Anderson, also known for her role as Diana Mitford in Peaky Blinders, for a time.
