Jade Thirwall celebrates five years with her Rizzle Kicks boyfriend Jordan Stephens as she shares loved-up tribute
Jade Thirlwall celebrated five years with Jordan Stephens by posting a heart-warming tribute to her partner on TikTok.
The former Little Mix star, 32, and her Rizzle Kicks rapper boyfriend, 32, first sparked a romance after he asked a mutual friend to set them up back in 2019.
Jade then took matters into her own hands, dropping Jordan a DM on Instagram asking for his 'pitch'.
A few Zoom dates later the smitten couple were making their first public appearance together at a July 2020 Black Trans Lives Matter rally where they were pictured arm-in-arm.
Five years on and the couple are still going strong - with Jade and Jordan appearing as loved-up as ever as she shared a gushing tribute to him on their anniversary.

As their dog scurried past the camera, the video posted on TikTok showed a pyjama-clad Jade surprising her boyfriend in bed with a bunch of flowers and balloons to mark the special day.
The post then cut to a compilation of Jade's favourite videos of Jordan, including smitten clips of the couple recording music, dancing and goofing around together.
The spark seems very much still alive between the couple, who appeared completely smitten as they celebrated their milestone.
A host of fans took to the comments section to congratulate their 'favourite couple' on five years together.
They wrote: 'Happy anniversary to my favourite chaotic couple love you',
'I'm so happy for you both! It's been such a privilege to witness your relationship and love for each other! Thank you for giving us these glimpses into your life',
'This man is just a walking green flag I love that for you! He just gets it how humans are supposed to be',
'Couple goals. Fully supporting each other without the need to justify yourselves. Beautiful. A couple like no other.'
While one amusingly commented: 'Oh man I feel so single.'
Jade scored her first BRIT award as a solo artist earlier this year during the 2025 ceremony at the 02 arena.
The former Little Mix singer couldn't wipe the smile off her face after beating the likes of Charli XCX to be crowned Best Pop Act at the ceremony in March.
As her name was read out, the singer gasped in shock before excitedly making her way to the stage, where she amusingly struggled to climb the stairs onto the platform.
Accepting the award, she gushed: 'Oh my God! This is my first solo BRIT Award! I can't cry because I've got to sing later, but I did do a little piece of paper in case I won the award. I know it's cringe but I knew I'd forget people. I'm flustered.'
After the awards show, Jade and Jordan were pictured packing on the PDA as they shared a steamy kiss on the red carpet.
A matter of weeks later Jordan - who said he 'enjoyed' meeting his now-girlfriend during lockdown - opened up about the dynamic of his relationship with Jade.
Speaking on the We Need to Talk podcast with Paul Carrick, the 34-year-old said: 'My girlfriend earns more money than me.
'She's super successful and I f****** love it.'
After being asked whether it's 'emasculating' have such a success girlfriend, he replied: 'It's reflected in the fact that I talk positively about Jade's career. They get shared loads.
'I've actually had a lot of personal texts from people who have been in situations where their partner, usually male partner has struggled with their success, or they felt emasculated by their success.
'Whereas for me, she's my superstar and I'm her superstar.'

Watch as Jordan North takes cheeky swipe at BBC Radio1 after moving to rival station
JORDAN North took a rather cheeky swipe at BBC Radio1 after moving to a rival station. At the Capital Summertime Ball on Saturday, June 15, Jordan spoke to The Sun about how he's been settling into his new gig over the last 12 months. 4 4 Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Jordan revealed he's has the "best year" of his life while taking a veiled swipe at BBC Radio One. When asked about how it's been at Capital since making the move, he said: "Oh, honestly, they have been the best people to work for. "It was definitely the right decision," he said, trailing off. "It's been just over 12 months and it has been the best year of my life." Continuing to gush over the job change, he said: "It's been so good, we've interviewed absolute megastars. "And what's lovely now is friends and family and people that have come over to Capital have said, 'oh, you really suit the station. It's like you've been there for years'. "And that is the biggest compliment," he said. He added: "This Breakfast show has got a massive buzz about it at the moment, something which we never thought we'd be able to do after just 12 months. "It feels like everybody's tuning in and listening. "And everyone's copying us as well, which is always a good sign," he added, seemingly taking another jibe at his former workplace. Jessie J reveals she's taking break from music to 'beat breast cancer' after shock diagnosis Last year, after a decade at the BBC, it was announced he was leaving the Drive Time show with Vick Hope after four years. Speaking to The Sun last year amid his big move, Jordan opened up about getting the huge opportunity at Capital and being unable to turn it down. 'I wasn't looking to leave but then this opportunity came up and you don't turn Capital down,' Jordan admitted. 'I know that sounds corny but it's a massive breakfast show. 'I told three people, because I had to keep it quiet, and they all said, 'Go for it'.' At the time, Jordan also spoke about his pals at the BBC with fond words. 'I have loads of good friends there [at the BBC]. 'When I rang Vick she was great. 'They all texted me before the first show. " Greg James said good luck. 'They pit us as rivals but really we're all mates,' he affirmed at the time. 4
