In 2020 Jesy announced she had left Little Mix after battling mental health issues and hasn't spoken to her bandmates Perrie, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall since. Perrie has now opened up about the fractured relationship and expressed her sadness for how things ended. The singer said in a new interview with Cosmopolitan, “We don't talk, and haven't done for a long time…It's really sad, it's heartbreaking." Perrie has hinted she had hoped the pair could repair their friendship, but also insisted she understands why Jesy wants to keep her distance.
