Overview
- Their representative confirmed late Friday that James and Ola Jordan began a trial separation some time ago and have now split.
- The statement said the couple’s shared priority is co‑parenting their daughter Ella and that they would appreciate privacy as they navigate the change.
- Neither the Jordans nor their team have given a specific reason for the separation, though friends and media sources described the news as a shock.
- Observers and reports pointed to earlier signs of strain, including fewer joint social posts, separate public appearances and Ola reportedly not wearing her wedding ring.
- The split ends a long personal and professional partnership that began in 1999, included high‑profile runs on Strictly Come Dancing, and produced daughter Ella via IVF in February 2020, and the situation is still developing.
