Singer Jade Thirlwall performed at the Electric Picnic 2026 festival in Stradbally, Ireland, on Saturday, several weeks after reports surfaced of her split from boyfriend Jordan Stephens. The 33-year-old singer appeared on the main stage, delivering a performance that showcased her resilience amid personal news.
Thirlwall's set included a rendition of Little Mix's "Shout Out To My Ex," a song that resonated with fans given her recent relationship status. Social media users noted the performance as "iconic" in light of her breakup.
The singer, who previously dated Rizzle Kicks star Jordan Stephens for six years, wore a green sports shirt over a black leotard, fishnet tights, sunglasses, and knee-high socks and boots for the festival appearance. She appeared in good spirits, engaging with the crowd during her performance.
Reports of the couple's split emerged last month. Following the news, both Thirlwall and Stephens have reportedly removed traces of each other from their respective social media accounts. The former couple shared homes in London and Margate.
Jordan Stephens, 34, addressed his personal life on his podcast, "Miss Me?" with Miquita Oliver. He spoke about the complexities of high-profile relationships and the rapid rise of speculation, noting his discomfort with public attention. Stephens indicated that he intends to discuss his experiences more openly once things have settled, emphasizing that personal emotions do not differ for those in the public eye.
"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 like create conversation," Stephens said. "But I think this is a difficult one because if I'm to believe how quickly speculation can arise."
He added that while he is a "very transparent person," he wants to protect individuals involved and will share more details when he feels it is appropriate. Stephens also commented on the universality of grief and powerful emotions, stating they "do not discriminate."
