Singer Jake Roche, of Rixton fame, has opened up about his relationship with Little Mix beauty Jesy Nelson in a new exclusive interview with Britain's Daily Star newspaper. 

Speaking to the tabloid about his romance with the 'Wings' star, the 'Me And My Broken Heart' hitmaker explained that they are serious about each other and he especially loves that Nelson gets along well with his mother, Coleen Nolan:

“Yes it is serious and yes it is love. It’s a proper relationship, we’ve both met the families and everything is going really well."

"Jesy and my mum are really close which is a massively important thing for me. We haven’t really spent a day apart since we met."

Roche went onto add that both of their lives are very busy with touring and recording schedules, but that shared experience of being in successful music groups is working in their favour and brings them closer together because they understand what each other has going on:

“Little Mix are recording their third album so she’s been coming to a lot of the gigs with me. I don’t think our careers are a problem. There are times we can’t speak or see each other because we are touring or doing promo but we both understand what it’s like so I actually think it kind of works in our favour.”
