‘Strange’ way Jade Thirlwall and boyfriend met
Jade’s boyfriend is Jordan Stephens. The musician found fame as a member of hip-hop duo Rizzle Kicks – who had a slew of hits in the 2010s, including Mama Do the Hump.
Jade and Jordan first started dating back in 2020 after Jade slid into his DMs.
Reflecting on the early days of their romance, Jade said on The Jonathan Ross Show: “I met someone in lockdown. We met on Zoom. I slid into the DMs. Then we had some Zoom dates.
“No I didn’t know him before lockdown. I’m not a very lovey-dovey person. It was through a friend. I slid in the DMs. I’d been doing this for quite a while. I kept getting pied left, right and centre.”
Jade added: “Jordan and I did a few Zoom dates in lockdown. We made a joke and said it was business and 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.”
Reflecting on meeting Jordan during Covid, Jade also told Metro: “I ended up meeting someone in lockdown which is strange.
“I quite enjoyed doing it that way. We had real dates and really got to know each other. I wouldn’t say I was looking for anyone at the time.”
