He told fans: ‘I think I’m uncomfortable with even the concept of it being out.’I’ve never experienced I’ve never been in a high profile relationship really so I think I’m very conflicted because I definitely pride myself on being open and transparent and I like to pull apart experiences of my own in the hope that it can create insight or like create conversation. ‘But I think this is a difficult one because if I’m to believe how quickly speculation can arise. I’m always like a couple words or sentences away from either making something worse.’ Jordan Stephens has addressed his split from Jade Thirlwall for the first time as he says relationships can be ‘complex and difficult’ and hints ‘more will come out’Suggesting he will open up when he is ready he continued: ‘I’m definitely going to talk and write I think once things have settled a little bit.’Obviously I’m not going to avoid something that’s quite obvious that’s been a thing. I don’t want to like pretend like that isn’t happening or hasn’t happened but I also want to make it clear that it’s so bizarre.’I’m a very transparent person and things will come out when necessary and I don’t mean to be too cryptic, it really isn’t that deep, well I mean it is deep for me but I mean I think it’s really important that whatever you may think as an everyday normal human…’Like how complex and difficult relationships can be, there’s no difference, you don’t get any exemptions. There’s no unusual subjective feeling when you also have followers.’It just doesn’t work like that. Grief does not or anything like that or any powerful emotion doesn’t discriminate.’He added: ‘My main point is I want to protect people. I don’t want to quite get into it.’Thanking fans for the nice comments, he said: ‘Honestly, I’ve still not processed it. I will say that I think, overall, people are kind. I have had some really kind and interesting things that have arisen. ‘In truth things go up and down and in and out all the time.’ Suggesting he will open up when he is ready he continued: ‘ I’m definitely going to talk and write I think once things have settled a little bit’ (pictured with Jade in May 2025) Since news of their split was reported, Jordan has been on a soul-searching trip, sharing photographs of his solo getaway on Instagram.Meanwhile, Jade is preparing for a string of gigs next week as she gets back on the road.Jade appeared to hint at her split from boyfriend Jordan in a recent interview, weeks before it emerged that their relationship was over.The former couple lived together and split their time between properties in London and Margate, in Kent, but are said to have separated earlier this year.Jordan has since wiped all trace of Jade from his Instagram and she has also removed all images of the singer from her own page.Jade appeared to allude to her relationship woes in an interview last month, as she shared she was ‘going through something privately’.Speaking about writing her upcoming second album, the hitmaker said she was channelling anything that had happened in her life into her new music.She said: ‘Right now, I don’t even know where it’s heading.
