The End of an Era: Jade and Jordan's Split

It’s the breakup bombshell that’s left fans reeling! Former Little Mix star Jade Thirlwall, 33, and Rizzle Kicks' Jordan Stephens, 34, have reportedly gone their separate ways after six years of dating bliss. These two lovebirds initially connected during the 2020 lockdowns, but now it seems they’ve called it quits, as sources tell us that both have been diving deep into their work to cope.

“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.”

An Unexpected Turn

The couple had successfully kept their relationship under wraps for most of their time together, only confirming it publicly at a Black Lives Matter march in London back in July 2020. The social media world is buzzing, noting that Jordan has allegedly erased Jade from his Instagram, though they still follow each other.

From Virtual Dates to Real-Life Love

Their romance began in the most modern of ways – sliding into DMs during the pandemic. Jade previously dished on The Jonathan Ross Show about how their relationship started online through Zoom dates, complete with suits and ties to make light of the virtual platform that was taking over lives.

Jade's rise to fame with Little Mix alongside Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, and Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and Jordan's hip hop successes with Rizzle Kicks, made them quite the power couple. Fans and friends alike hope this isn't the final chapter for the duo.
