British actress Jasmine Jobson, best known for her portrayal of Jaq in the Netflix drama 'Top Boy', has officially confirmed her breakup with co-star Kadeem Ramsay. The pair, whose on-screen chemistry translated into a real-life romance, had gone public with their relationship in late 2023, attracting attention from fans online.
During a recent LIVE stream, Jasmine revealed that the relationship has come to an end, and with it, she has made the conscious decision to embrace a celibate lifestyle. When asked if she is still with her boyfriend, she responded,
“No, I’m not, but I’m also not single, thank you very much. I am taken by life and I am celibate.”
She then added,
“We’re going to stay over here right now. The time I see somebody, it’s going to be the man I marry.”
Jobson and Ramsay’s relationship became the subject of intense media and fan attention when they confirmed their romance in an Instagram post in October 2023. Though the post was initially met with excitement, it was quickly overshadowed by a wave of criticism. In response, Jobson disabled comments and addressed the negativity with grace, reminding her followers, “I’m still human at the end of the day.”
According to an interview with The Mirror, the actress and Ramsay had met while working together on 'Top Boy', where their connection blossomed both on and off the screen.
Now, as she steps into this new chapter, Jobson appears to be drawing strength from her past and focusing on the future. The actress has previously opened up about the challenges she faced growing up in care in West London, and how acting provided her with a crucial outlet for her pain and expression. Her performance in 'Top Boy' has not only won her widespread praise, but it also earned her a BAFTA nomination, firmly establishing her as one of the most compelling emerging talents in British television.
