Ola Jordan is embracing a summer holiday with her daughter Ella, marking a period of personal reflection following her split from husband James Jordan. The 43-year-old former 'Strictly Come Dancing' star has been sharing moments from her trip on Instagram, including a recent photograph of herself in a coral bikini alongside Ella.
Jordan and James Jordan, 48, announced their separation in August via a joint statement, ending their 26-year relationship. Ola Jordan has candidly expressed the emotional weight of the separation on social media, describing recent times as "incredibly tough" and admitting her "heart has felt heavier than she ever imagined."
Despite the challenges, Jordan highlighted her daughter as a source of comfort. "Spending these summer holidays with my baby girl, making memories, having cuddles, laughing until our tummies hurt and simply enjoying every precious moment together has been my greatest comfort," she wrote on Instagram. "She may not realise it now, but she has been my little ray of sunshine through some of my darkest days."
She also extended gratitude to her support network, stating, "And to everyone who has sent me messages, checked in on me, shown me kindness or simply reminded me that I'm not alone. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your love and support have meant more to me than you will ever know."
The couple reportedly decided to end their relationship after a trial separation, with James Jordan having moved out of their family home. James Jordan has spoken about his experience, describing the past few years as "really tough" and admitting to "struggling with life at the minute" in a trailer for his podcast "Manopause." He also mentioned on "This Morning" that he spends his evenings alone in a one-bedroom flat. He stated that he finds it difficult to discuss the separation further, particularly without Ola Jordan present.
