There was a 27-year age gap between Chrissie Hynde and her young Welsh boyfriend, but they didn’t care, at least not at first, Chrissie and musician JP Jones brief relationship started after they met in a bar and ended up working together for their band JP, Chrissie and the Fairground Boys, their first and only Fidelity was released in 2010.

They decided to end their relationship in October, 2010 and remain friends for their band’s sake.

“There’s not going to be a family (if we stayed together). And if you think about it, if we were together, where would we be in 10 years? He’d be 40 and I’d be (nearly) 70. That’s kind of unthinkable after a while.” and Jones admit the heartbreak they both felt is evident in the band’s new music.
He adds, “When you’re feeling something so strongly in circumstance (sic), between Chrissie and me, you know, the fact that we can’t be together, can’t have a family together… When you’re together, sat there writing songs to each other (sic)… it’s impossible not to be speaking the truth… The connection between us and the circumstance we have, it’s all on the record. It’s the most intense thing I’ve ever felt.”

Chrissie hasn’t been seen with any man after JP, this doesn’t mean she has been single ever since, but rather that if she has a boyfriend at this moment, she found out how to maintain her private life out of the public eye.
