JLS gave up love life and girlfriends for band
JLS - X Factor 2008
JLS may have reached number one in the charts this week but the have boys revealed that their success hasn’t come without some big sacrifices.
“We have given it everything. We sacrificed girlfriends, we sacrificed university, we sacrificed our homes, we sacrificed our jobs. Luckily it has worked for us,” Marvin Humes told The Sun.
“We’re young guys. Obviously we have fun but it’s very difficult to hold and maintain a relationship. We’re never here. You can imagine the attention we get from girls.”
Band member JB added: “We’ve all broken up with long-term girlfriends in the last few months due to complications.”
Ortisé Williams ended his first ever relationship so he could focus on the band.
“I’d never had a girlfriend before and then I started seeing a girl and we broke up very quickly,” he said.
“I realised that the intensity and the pressure of being in the band was going to overtake everything.
“This is our commitment. This is why Marvin and Aston were in jobs they didn’t want to be in and me and JB were in uni just thinking about JLS. This is what it’s all for.”
