2014 X-Factor contestants Stevi Ritchie and Chloe Jasmine are officially an item, after friend Stephanie Nala confirmed the news in a magazine interview.
Singer Stephanie Nala, who was a friend of socialite Chloe Jasmine during the live-shows, revealed the pair are now officially a couple following the breakdown of Chloe Jasmine’s relationship to ex-boyfriend Craig Wiffen, who she cheated on during the show.

Speaking to Reveal magazine, Stephanie said:
“Stevi and Chloe are officially a thing. He’s doubting her feelings for him but she’s asked me to be maid of honour if they marry.”
Rumours of a romance between the two contestants started when Jake Quickenden told media they had spent the night together, but the news was confirmed when radio mics picked up Stevi telling mentor Simon Cowell he had bedded Chloe the night of her elimination from the show.
X-Factor audiences saw dad Stevi break down in tears on the show when he discovered Chloe had a boyfriend, but has apparently decided to give the relationship another go.
Despite being in the early stages of a relationship, Stephanie has hinted that Chloe Jasmine is talking marriage, even though she feels guilty for cheating on ex Craig:
“She feels guilty about cheating on Craig, but he so loved being in the public eye, I told her to get rid of him.”
Neither Chloe Jasmine or Stevi Ritchie have confirmed their relationship status since Nala’s interview.
