James Jordan announces a new men’s health and wellbeing podcast following his split from his wife of 22 years, Ola. The outlets report that he also appears without his wedding ring as he addresses the end of the marriage and says he has been dealing with mental health struggles.
Both sources describe Jordan’s comments as being linked to what he calls an “incredibly painful” and difficult period. The Daily Mail frames the project as a “midlife men’s podcast,” while The Mirror describes it as a “Manopause” show, presented as part of Jordan’s efforts to talk about men’s wellbeing and related issues. Neither outlet presents additional details about the reasons for the split beyond Jordan’s statements about his wellbeing.
The coverage focuses on two main developments—Jordan’s public confirmation of the separation and his launch of a new podcast or show aimed at men—along with his disclosure that mental health has been a factor during the period.
