Reports by The Sun suggest that a source close to the duo confirmed, "Jesy had no idea about this man's past. Obviously, should Jesy have known about his past, a first date wouldn't have happened."

Who is Aaron Gage?
It was last year when the well known pop star and Aaron Gage secretly got together after they exchanged messages on Instagram, where he goes by Mountain of Strength.

Moreover, the friend revealed that Nelson's relationship status at the time was single and that the two got on well. "He was smitten, but she was focused on her career long-term," the friend further revealed, according to The Sun.
Reportedly, Sage, who is a model by profession has worked for the likes of Puma, ASOS and JD Sport. Nottingham crown court heard that the model advertised special offers of drugs through texts on his mobile phone.
"Fresh, sale next hour only, two for 70 or three for 90," one of the texts on his mobile phone read and the message appeared to have relation with 84 per cent pure cocaine, according to what the court was told.
