The genesis of the couple's love story began with Jordan's conversation with a friend. After a season of emotional reflection brought on by a break-up, the Rizzle Kicks singer reached out to Jade through a friend. A perfect move, as Jade had been open to dating at the time.
The relationship began with simple Zoom dates and a few social distancing dates, one being at Greenwich Park in London. Jordan later narrated their origin story on We Need To Talk with Paul C. Brunson, saying;
The story is I texted my friend and I said, Can you pitch me to Jade? He just screenshotted that and sent it to Jade. And then I get this DM (Jade's) out of the blue.
The couple was spotted together by fans for the first time during the 2020 Black Lives Matter march in London. This was Jade's first public romance after breaking up with UK singer, Jed Elliot.
Before going public with their relationship status, Jade dropped a couple of hints, affirming fans' assumptions about the relationship. In one instance, she confirmed that she had a boyfriend during a conversation with RuPaul before the launch of RuPaul's Drag Race UK.
When I first started talking to my boyfriend, I discovered he did a movie (Tucked) where he played a drag queen, and I was like, right, that’s it. He’s perfect. Sign me up!
On 6 January 2021, the talent-rich couple went Insta-official with a photo on Instagram Stories. The Little Mix singer uploaded a snap showing her with her beau at a supermarket checkout.
In May of the same year, she celebrated their first anniversary with a photo, a tradition that has continued annually. The snap of the couple holding each other had the caption;
1 year since I slid in the DMs.
During the October 2021 Halloween celebrations, the couple started a ghoulishly adorable tradition. In 2021, the couple stole the show, dressed as beloved cartoon characters, Marge Simpson and Sideshow Bob.
In 2023, the duo won hearts with Mr. Bean and his teddy costumes, a reflection of their playful love story. Similarly, their 2024 Halloween costumes—Bo Peep and Mr. Potato Head from Toy Story—sent their fans into a frenzy of excitement.
