Partying with Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid: Inside the crazy LA life of JJ from MAFS UK

JJ from MAFS UK lived in LA for a number of years before deciding to return to the UK after his Victoria’s Secret model ex-girlfriend, Kelsie, cheated on him. And it seems like his life in LA was pretty crazy, after Instagram pictures have shown he used to party with Kendall Jenner and go to tennis matches with Gigi Hadid?!

A MAFS UK show insider said, “JJ made some bold claims about his partying lifestyle in LA and the company he kept, and it’s not exaggerated. He had a wild and life-enhancing experience out there where he mixed with some real A-listers.”

JJ enjoyed an LA club night with Kendall Jenner and went to Wimbledon in 2013 with Gigi Hadid. He also seems to have been friends with Joey Essex, with Joey appearing in JJ’s old Instagram stories. Instagram pictures and stories from JJ’s time in LA show him frequently attending exclusive rooftop parties, clubs, and renting out expensive cars.

30-year-old JJ is a fashion brand owner from Essex. He owns his clothing brand Fully Blessed, which he started in 2020 and is described as “London based, LA influenced.” Fully Blessed has clothes and accessories that are “free from harmful substances and chemicals,” as well as being “sustainably and ethically manufactured and distributed.” The message behind the clothes is to produce “high quality, impactful products that act as reminders and inspire conversation.”
