Jade Thirlwall shares how Harry Styles ‘ghosted’ her
Jade Thirlwall recently shared a dating story about her brief interaction with Harry Styles during their time on The X Factor. Thirlwall revealed that she and Styles went on a date when they were both 16, just as he had been placed in One Direction. The two stayed in touch for a while. However, once One Direction started competing on live shows, Styles stopped responding to her messages. Thirlwall recalled, “The minute they went on live shows, he didn’t message me back. And I thought, ‘That’s it now, he’s gone. He made it.'” (via The Louis Theroux Podcast)
However, their paths crossed again the following year when One Direction returned to The X Factor. Thirlwall explained that Styles approached her backstage to apologize for ignoring her, acknowledging his past actions. Laughing about the situation, Thirlwall said that since she was so young at the time, it didn’t bother her much.
Though their brief romance didn’t lead to anything serious, Thirlwall spoke highly of Styles. She emphasized that his success was well-deserved and attributed it to his hard work. Now in a happy relationship with Jordan Stephens of Rizzle Kicks, Thirlwall reflected fondly on the past, making it clear that there were no hard feelings. Despite the brief encounter, she maintained that Styles was always “very lovely, very charming.”
