If you rewind your minds back to 2012, just as Little Mix were emerging off the back of their X Factor win, Jesy started dating Diversity dancer Jordan Banjo.

Although his romance with Jesy didn't work out, Jordan is now in a happy relationship with his girlfriend Naomi Courts, with the pair welcoming a baby boy called Cassius into the world in May 2018.Jordan later announced in 2019 that the couple were expecting another baby later in the year!

Jesy started dating Rixton frontman Jake Roche in 2014, with the pair meeting via mutual friends during a big show at the Manchester Arena.

Planning one of the most romantic proposals ever, Jake popped the question to Jesy backstage at a gig, and he even enlisted the help of Ed Sheeran to perform one of Jesy's favourite songs in the moment. ud83dude0d

Despite the epic proposal, Jesy and Jake didn't actually make it down the aisle, with the pair announcing their split in 2016.Jesy later described the split as 'horrendous', saying it is 'one of the worst pains!'.

Following a number of whispers that Jesy was dating TOWIE star Chris Clark in 2017, the Little Mix singer confirmed the news in March. The pair attended a number of events together and gushed about each other on their social media accounts for a number of months.

Things took a SERIOUS sour turn though, when Chris dumped Jesy during a phone call!Chris' former TOWIE co-star Myles Barnett told OK! Magazine, "He probably didn't do it as well as he could have, but he wanted to tell her as soon as possible, which meant over the phone as she was in America."Ouch! Obviously, Jesy's fans were quick to troll Chris over his treatment of Jesy online.

Following her sour split from Chris, Jesy started dating musician Harry James in the summer of 2017, with the pair being spotted for the first time together on holiday in Mykonos. Things seemed to be going very well, with Harry even accompanying Jesy to the 2018 BRIT Awards where she was performing with her Little Mix girls.

Their romance continued to blossom throughout 2018, with Jesy and Harry posting snaps on social media, and gushing about each other at every given opportunity. The pair even enjoyed a very luxurious trip to Dubai and the Maldives, whilst the rest of the Little Mix girls were in the recording studio.

After 16 months of dating, Jesy and Harry's relationship came to an abrupt end in November 2018.

After weeks of rumours that Jesy was dating Love Island 2017 star Chris Hughes, the pair confirmed their romance during a trip to Ireland, posting this cosy snap to their socials.Although the pair briefly split after just three weeks of dating, they quickly rekindled their romance.

Jesy and Chris weren't shy in expressing their love for each other, with Chris calling Jesy his 'girlfriend' during a radio interview in March 2019. Chris gushed over his new love, saying, "I'm the happiest I've ever been. It's official, she's my girlfriend. I'm so happy, she's the nicest girl I've ever met, this is no exaggeration, she's got a heart like she was your mother or something. She's so caring. We just get on like best mates, and that's the beauty about it."Aww!

Jesy and Chris' relationship wasn't to be though and they split in April 2020.Speaking to Vicky Pattison on her podcast The Secret To, Chris admitted, "It was tough. Time's a healer, you don't believe it when you're in the moment. I don't think I've ever felt heartbroken or anything. "And then a couple of weeks down the line, you start thinking about it less and less. And the next thing, you're good as gold."
