'Little Mix's Jade Thirlwall drops bombshell about Harry Styles after romance

An English singer, Jade Thirlwall, has revealed a surprising detail about her brief romance with Harry Styles.

On the January 20 episode of The Louis Theroux Podcast, Jade revealed that Harry suddenly stopped talking to her while One Direction was becoming more famous on The X Factor.

When they were both on the U.K. version of the talent show in 2010, it seemed like they were starting a romance, but things unexpectedly changed.

The Little Mix alum shared, "We went on one date when we were like 16 or something. He had just been put in a band and it was really funny because we kept in touch."

She went on to add about the Eternals actor, who competed on The X Factor as part of One Direction with Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, and Liam Payne, saying, “And then the minute they went on live shows, he didn’t message me back.”

“I thought, 'That’s it now. He’s gone, he’s made it',” the 32-year-old pop icon quipped.

Notably, the following year, Jade stood victorious on The X Factor with the group Little Mix, which had Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, and Leigh-Anne Pinnock.

The Power crooner also remembered meeting Harry backstage when One Direction came to perform on the show the same year.

Calling to mind that moment, she mentioned, “I saw him in a room after and he was like, ‘I’m really sorry that I ignored you,’” to which the podcast host replied, “He ghosted you.”

The Black Magic hitmaker noted, “Yes. Again, I was so young it didn’t really matter. He was always very, very lovely.”

“He’s gotten himself where he is because he’s very talented,” Thirlwall said. “He’s very lovely, very charming,” Jade Thirlwall concluded by singing praises of Harry Styles.
