Jade Thirlwall and Jordan Stephens have fuelled romance rumours after appearing to attend a Black Trans Lives Matter protest together.

A photo widely shared on Little Mix fan accounts on Instagram shows Rizzle Kicks singer Stephens, 28, with his arm around Thirlwall, 27, at the Black Trans Lives Matter protest in London in June.

It comes after a report in The Sun in May suggested that the pair had grown close during lockdown and had gone on a socially distanced date.

“Jade has been open to dating for a while now but it can be hard to find the time to meet people usually,” a source told the paper.

“While stuck at home she started messaging Jordan and they have been getting on but it’s still really early days.

“They met up for a walk [...] to chat and get to know each other which was nice but nothing has happened between them yet.”

Standard Online has contacted a representative for Thirlwall for further comment.

Thirlwall was previously in a three year relationship with The Struts star Jed Elliott. The couple split up last July, with sources citing their conflicting work schedules as a factor.

Elliott, who is based in the United States, is now in a relationship with Runaways actress Ginny Gardner.

Stephens was previously linked to actress Amber Anderson.
