Pregnancy Announcement and Family Life
The couple had announced their pregnancy on January 12 with a video featuring their eldest daughter, Myla, seven. In the clip, the family stood in front of a Christmas tree as Myla opened a present containing baby clothes. She burst into tears, then was shocked to learn there were two babies on the way. Warren and Jade also run an Instagram page dedicated to family updates, including gender reveals, holiday snaps, and Jade's maternity shoot. The couple married in 2020 after 14 years together.
Warren's Rise to Fame
Warren first rose to prominence in 2009 when Diversity won Britain's Got Talent, beating Susan Boyle and taking home the £250,000 prize. In May, Diversity leader Ashley Banjo reflected on the group's early naivety: "Honestly, I can't explain to you how naive I was back then. It was only year three in Britain’s Got Talent so it was all still relatively fresh. It was a case of 'yeah let's just go and compete, have a good time, see how we do.' People had enjoyed our stuff before and we'd won competitions, but that's different to Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan and millions of people gushing about what we do. We were just kids on the show. I don't want to ever use the word tough. There are people who have a much tougher time. But from a human, emotional point of view, it wasn't a normal environment to grow up in."
