Jaden Hossler & Nessa Barrett Inside Drama
During their year-long romance, TikTok faves Jaden Hossler and Nessa Barrett have been through a lot. The duo overcame the backlash from their breakups with Mads Lewis and Josh Richards, which included Jaden's mother, Amy Denaé Hossler, being embroiled in the TikTok scandal.
As of now, Jaden and Nessa had unfollowed each other on social media, and also released a statement announcing their breakup. The couple said,
"Last month we broke up to take time to focus on our own careers and mental health."
"Please don't send hate or make assumptions. We would like to heal privately and hope you all can respect that. We love you all so much."
However, their fans didn’t react too well to the break-up news.
@noa_hanrahan tweeted, "Wishing @jxdn and @nessabarrett the best in healing after their breakup. Love you two lots. Both of you have helped me so much with your music, and I am thankful even though hearing about the breakup has saddened me as a fan. I will continue to support both of you."
@ishbishhhh said, "I need Nessa Barrett to release the best breakup album of this summer."
When Did They Start Dating?
Jaden and Nessa had known one other for a long time. Before it closed in February 2021, they both spent a lot of time in the Sway House.
Later, during a radio interview with Audacy's Kevan Kenney in June 2021, Jaden acknowledged that he was Nessa's boyfriend.
When asked about their connection, Jaden remained tight-lipped. He said,
"I don't know anything about that, but we're just trying to enjoy ourselves."
"Really trying to be happy." He went on to say that he feels that they handled the situation "respectfully and privately" and that he's "the happiest he's ever been."
Of course, the paparazzi questioned Nessa if she's ever been happier, to which she replied, "Yeah."
While it's nice that they've both moved on, the TikTok world has gone crazy because their new relationship appears dodgy.
Furthermore, Mads had the impression that Nessa was attempting to kidnap Jaden. The fact that Jaden and Nessa became a couple later supported her case.
Even worse, Jaden went on Instagram Live to talk about the new development and Mads' dissatisfaction.
"I understand she's going through a lot of hurts and that's why she might have been handling things the way she has been," he said. "Do I agree with it? No. I think it made us get to this point, which is not where I want us to be."
