"Jordan and I were never in a relationship. We were getting to know each other and discovering what could be possible between us," Jacqueline told Life & Style amid rumors there's a lot of tension and drama between the former couple.

Fans began speculating the pair stopped seeing each other on Tuesday after Jordan deleted all photos of them together from his Instagram account and unfollowed Jacqueline on social media.
And then on Wednesday, a fan reportedly reached out to Jordan via direct message on Instagram and asked, "What happened between you and Jacqueline? I saw a post on reddit that she cheated on you at a play party. Basically everyone on reddit... is assuming the worst."

Jordan allegedly replied, "Worse."
"I'm really trying to recover from all this. It's very heartbreaking. I hope you understand I don't really want to go into it," Jordan continued in the DM, according to Life & Style.
When asked about the leaked conversation, Jordan explained to the magazine, "This situation is more complex and deeper than people know. I'm not entirely sure how reddit works, but I'm sure it is very upsetting for Jacqueline as she uses it regularly. I'd respect if we could be left alone to recover from this by ourselves."

Jacqueline, however, has firmly denied cheating on Jordan and appears distraught over such speculation.

"None of that comment is true... Jordan is mad about a totally different topic... I do not appreciate being slut-shamed, and the implications of this post are extremely offensive to myself and to the privacy of the play community," Jacqueline told Life & Style.
"The person who posted this had absolutely no validity and no right to invade my private life. I do not believe that Jordan would want this level of inspection either as this was a private DM."
Jacqueline admitted she's "not doing great" and it's been a "very sad" few days.
She also claimed she was able to "disprove" the rumor that started on Reddit and moderators ultimately decided to remove the comment in question.
Jacqueline's photos of Jordan and herself remain on her Instagram account.
