Lucie Jones, who starred on the X Factor, has reportedly split from her husband Ethan Boroian, after eight years of marriage as she made her debut at Glastonbury
A former X Factor contestant has reportedly parted ways with her spouse of eight years amidst her Glastonbury Festival debut. Lucie Jones and Ethan Boroian are said to have ended their marriage.
The pair, who initially crossed paths during their 2009 X Factor auditions, have apparently decided to separate. Reports suggest that the couple are discreetly navigating through a divorce, with Lucie having unfollowed her husband on social platforms.
Sources indicate that over time, the two have drifted apart. An insider remarked that they were “young when they married” and now Lucie’s priorities have shifted.
A source disclosed to The Sun: “She has been busy focusing on pursuing her career on the West End stage and travelling the globe, they’re moving on with their lives. Lucie’s in a really good place and has already moved on and met someone else and has loved performing at Glastonbury.”
They further commented: “Ethan is no longer in showbusiness and their lives were headed in different directions,” reports the Mirror.

Lucie’s performance at Glastonbury marked her first appearance at the iconic Worthy Farm event. Prior to the festival, she teased “cool surprises” for what she described as a “huge celebration of music and theatre” gearing up for a thrilling three-day stint.
Overjoyed by the invitation to perform, she shared her excitement with the Mirror before her performances, giving a hint of what festival-goers could anticipate from her shows.
She remarked: “When I was there last year, I was like, ‘why is there no musical theatre here?’ I was just walking around and I was thinking, these people would love a bit of defying gravity.
“I think a lot of people think of musical theatre as like jazz hands and tap dance. But that just isn’t the style that I do. It’s going to be super upbeat and you’re going to know every song. There’s a bit of that in musical theatre, of course, but it’s a whole world of other stuff as well.”
She also hinted at exciting collaborations for her upcoming performances. “There’s a couple of friends that I’ve got that are playing at Glastonbury who, quite possibly will be joining me, or I’ll be joining them during their set,” she revealed.
“I’m really excited about one or two of them. It’s going to be super cool and they’re not necessarily musical theatre acts.”
Lucie, who once flew the flag for the UK at Eurovision, has since acknowledged how the X Factor dramatically transformed her career. The talent show has been a launchpad for several artists, including Joe McElderry, with whom Lucie remains good friends.
“I’m going to Ibiza tomorrow and I’m going to see Joe McElderry,” she disclosed.
