In recent months, fans noticed signs of a possible split, such as the couple not publicly celebrating their sixth anniversary and Thirlwall attending bandmate Perrie Edwards' wedding without Stephens. Additionally, Stephens reportedly removed photos of Thirlwall from his social media accounts and unfollowed several of her close associates, further fueling speculation. (ibtimes.co.uk)
Both Thirlwall and Stephens have been focusing on their respective careers. Since Little Mix announced a hiatus in 2021, Thirlwall has pursued a solo music career, releasing her debut album "That's Showbiz Baby" in September 2025. Stephens has continued his work with Rizzle Kicks and expanded into podcasting, writing, and mental health advocacy. (en.wikipedia.org)
