Happy birthday, Jade Thirlwall! In honor of the Little Mix member's special day, let's dive into her personal life, how she started her sucessful music career, and her next move after the girl band announced that they're going into hiatus.
Born Jade Amelia Thirlwall on December 26, 1992, the singer is now 31 years old! Her parents are Norma Badwi and James Thirlwall. She also has one sibling named Karl.

Two years later, with much dedication, she returned to the reality TV singing competition. At the time she was 18 years old.
Initially, she failed the first challenge and was placed in the group called "Orion" along with Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Perrie Edwards, and Jesy Nelson.
Mentored by Tulsia Contostavlos, the group later changed their name to Little Mix. The group went on to win the entire series and was the first and only girl group to win the show.
