The music duo have called time on their romance, and the Rizzle Kicks star has hinted there will be more to the story as time goes on.‌Jordan, 34, and former Little Mix star Jade, 33, appeared to be a power couple in the industry - but seemingly stopped posting each other on their social media months ago. It led to speculation that they had gone their separate ways.‌And now Jordan has confirmed the situation, despite admitting he doesn't like speaking about it in public. He labelled being in a high-profile relationship "complex and difficult" before hinting there could be more to come.‌Jordan made the admission on the latest episode of his podcast Miss Me? with Miquita Oliver. He told his co-host: "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 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 of words or sentences away from either making something worse.'He admitted he does plan to discuss it further, saying he will do "once things have settled a bit". And he said he will do so because he is "not going to avoid something that's quite obvious that's been a thing"He went on: "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 went on to say he will try to protect people, and for that reason, he isn't ready to get into it. But he admitted he was grateful to the support he had received from fans following the news."In truth, things go up and down and in and out all the time," he said.
