Now, Jade has tagged Emile in her social media posts and the duo sent each other love heart emoji comments. Sharing a snap of Emile with his arm around her waist, Jade wrote: "Great night as always with this one @theemileheskey [two red love heart emojis]. Supporting Operation Bullseye II. Darts Players V Military."
Her sister was among those sharing sweet messages on the post she had tagged Emile in. Lucia wrote: "Stunning as always Sis … Lovely photo of you both … We love you more xxxxxxx
It comes a year after Emile's split from his wife of over 20 years, Chantelle, 43. It's claimed the duo are currently in the process of divorcing after keeping their split private. A source told the Manchester Evening News the couple had simply "grown apart" due to work commitments.
The couple had first met when Chantelle was a waitress in Liverpool aged 18. At the time, Emile, then 23, was playing for Liverpool following a spell at Leicester City. Emile was dating Kylee Pinsent, with the pair sharing three kids.

But a year later, after their split, Emile and Chantelle reunited. Two years later, in 2006, the pair got engaged and finally tied the knot in 2014 at a lavish wedding ceremony in Cheshire.
Now, though, after going their separate ways, Emile appears to be enjoying his situation with Jade. She had been dating Snooker legend Jimmy since 2018, with Jimmy admitting in 2021 their age gap was irrelevant.
He told The Sun in 2021: "It's a miracle she fancies me. But she doesn't care about the age difference, so why should I? She's my girlfriend and she's fit so I'm happy. She's a beautiful girl, inside and out."
