Jade’s boyfriend gives verdict on the fact Little Mix icon earns more than him

Jade Thirlwall, a former Little Mix star, has had a lot of success as a member of the well-known band, while Jordan Stephens, her boyfriend, has had a lot of success in his own band.

Jordan Stephens, JADE’s boyfriend, has expressed his disappointment with his younger girlfriend’s higher salary. Since 2020, Rizzle Kicks’ star Jordan, 33, and the 32-year-old Little Mix star, who recently rebranded herself from Jade Thirlwall to simply JADE, have been household names.

At the most recent 2025 BRIT Awards, Jordan won the Best Pop Act award for her stunning performance of her single Angel of My Dreams and won the Best Pop Act award for her side.

With hits like Down with the Trumpets and Mama Do the Hump, Jordan, a member of Rizzle Kicks, along with Harley Alexander-Sule, 34, has enjoyed respectable chart success.

However, Jade has had a number of top-scratch singles, arena-sized tours, and chart success in the USA as a member of Little Mix. While Little Mix takes a break from the studio, she is also working as a solo artist, and it is anticipated that she will release her first solo album later this year.

Jordan has praised his support for the Shout Out To My Ex singer, even though lesser men might be jealous if their girlfriend was more successful than them.

The singer said, “My girlfriend earns more money than I do,” during an interview with Paul Carrick Brunson on the We Need to Talk podcast. She is extremely successful, and I adore her. Addressing concerns that some might find it “emasculating,” he continued, “It’s reflected in my positive opinion of Jade’s career. They are burdened by others.

“I’ve actually received a lot of personal texts from people who have experienced success struggles with their partners, which are typically male partners, or feeling depressed by their success. She is my superstar, and I am her superstar, in contrast.

Jade and Jordan met while experiencing the pandemic, and she has previously revealed that she loves them both. She previously said to Metro, “I ended up meeting someone in lockdown, which is strange. That’s how I found it to be enjoyable. We actually got to know each other on real dates. I wouldn’t claim to have found anyone at the time.

She also praised Jordan in her 2025 BRIT Awards acceptance speech. She accepted her award from the Sugababes by saying, “I want to thank my management, Amy, Kevin and Alana, my label, Jason, Eileen and Stacey, RCA, Joel, my incredible Ana, and everyone at RCA.

“I’m so appreciative of all the writers and producers I’ve worked with, including my promo, my digital and creative team, glam, and styling. I mean, “Okay, go off.”

She continued, “My partner, Jordan, my mom, dad, my brother, Carl, and all of my family and friends always believed in me.”

Thank you for motivating me to pursue a career in music since I was a young girl. She also thanked Little Mix and her supporters, and the audience cheered as she delivered her speech.
