Die-hard Mixers went on high alert this week after Jesy Nelson stopped following her fiancé Jake Roche on social media.
And if that wasn't suspicious enough, the 25-year-old Little Mix singer, who already delayed her wedding in recent months, was then spotted out and about without her engagement ring.
Alarm bells went off in all corners of the Little Mix fandom, and it seems they were right to presume the worst because it looks like it's all over between the couple.
According to emerging reports, Jesy was devastated by Jake's lack of enthusiasm for their upcoming wedding and struggled to understand his attitude towards their big day.
"Jesy has gone through an intense amount of soul searching and emotional strain as the wedding plans became more intense – and she just couldn’t go through with it’, a source told LOOK magazine.
It sounds like the former X Factor contestant began doubting the authenticity of her relationship with Jake, and eventually decided it would be better to bring things to an end.
"As the wedding got closer she found herself asking if her and Jake were really as deeply in love as they wanted to think. She texted him and said she doesn’t feel she can go on and needs a break to really work out what she wants in life.’ the insider revealed.
According to the report, Jesy feared that their relationship relied too heavily on external factors.
"She’s been really worried that she was going to start living out her worst nightmare – having a ‘showmance’ marriage where it was more about the careers and the attention than actually really building a life and strong marriage together."
Commenting further on the split, the insider revealed that Jesy focussed her attention on the future and unfortunately realised that they would be unlikely to survive in the long run.
"She wanted to see him taking more interest in the wedding plans, in working out when they were going to try for a baby and basically see him settle down more – and it simply didn’t happen."
Aw Jesy, at least you have your girls right now.
