Ella and Jack have been together for around three years after getting to know each other over FaceTime during lockdown, after Ella joined a dating app.
The ‘React’ singer joined us backstage at Hits Live where she told us why she would be delaying her wedding until 2025.
“Do you know what? We were both just like, let’s not talk about planning it this year,” she opened up. “I’ve got so much going on and he’s so busy with work. So it’s just like, let’s not talk about it. Maybe 2025?
“I’m quite enjoying being engaged, I quite like it. It’s a lovely period and I feel like, your wedding day is such a special moment, I kind of don’t want it to happen too soon, because I’ve got nothing to look forward to!”
She then added: “Also, I just can’t decide what kind of wedding I want, I change it every week.”

Speaking about their meeting, Ella told Metro.co.uk last year: “It’s funny, we always say we never would have met and crossed paths probably if it wasn’t for the lockdown. Even though it was such a frustrating time and difficult for a lot of our mental health, but he and I have to thank that lockdown in a sense or else we never would’ve crossed paths.
“The reason for going on the dating app was because it was a long period of time before we could go out and socialise. I missed my friends and wanted to go to the bar, have a cocktail, chat somebody up and let them chat you up but you couldn’t have that time to do that.”
Meanwhile in the world of music, Ella has had huge success in the past year with collabs with Becky Hill and David Guetta, ‘Crazy What Love Can Do’, Nathan Dawe’s ’22 Reasons’ and most recently ‘React’ with Switch Disco.
