Jayde tweeted:
"Me and my love Jesse Waits :) just to clarify lol he is my one and only xox"
Jayde and Jesse were spotted at Six Flags Magic Mountain theme park in Los Angeles,California on Tuesday (April 13). Here is a cute photo of the two of them strapped into the skycoaster for bungee jumping ride. I believe Jayde's tweet was to set the record straight as a few gossip sites incorrectly identified Jesse earlier today as Joffrey Lupol!
So who is Jesse Waits? Glad you asked. Here's his bio on Wikepedia:
Jesse Waits is an American businessman involved in the nation's entertainment/nightclub scene. Waits is managing partner at XS nightclub inside Encore Las Vegas, Tryst nightclub inside Wynn Las Vegas, Drai's After Hours inside Bill's Gamblin' Hall and Saloon, Botero restaurant inside Encore Las Vegas and Drai's Hollywood at the new W Hollywood hotel in Hollywood, Ca.
Waits has established himself as one of the most influential and powerful figures on the national nightlife scene.
Waits has been honored with several accolades. Professionally, Waits has guided XS, Tryst and Drai's to multiple awards, including XS nightclub's No. 1 ranking in this year's Top 100 ranking on the Nightclub & Bar Magazine's annual list. Tryst, ranked No. 2 ranking in last year's Top 100 poll, was No. 5 this year. Drai's After Hours placed No. 16 in the same ranking this year, up an impressive six spots from last year's No. 22 position.
XS nightclub also took home the Mega-Club of the Year award, as well as the New Club of the Year honor in the Nightclub & Bar magazine competition.
Waits, his identical twin brother, Cy Waits, and nightlife impresario Victor Drai received the ultimate honor in 2009 when they were named Operators of the Year at the Nightclub & Bar magazine's convention.

This year, XS and Tryst are up for a combined eight awards in the Nightclub & Bar and Club World competitions. Personally, he and his brother were named as part of Extra's "America's Most Eligible Bachelors" list.
Growing up, Waits split his time between Hawaii and Southern California before making a move to Nevada in 1998.
Waits was chosen to open and manage Foundation Room at Mandalay Bay, where he is widely known for having established the popularity of the exclusive nightclub among locals and tourists. Waits was also heavily involved in the opening of Light nightclub at Bellagio.
And Foundation Room was also where Waits experienced met Drai, owner of Drai’s After Hours and co-owner of Tryst and XS nightclubs.
Drai expressed interest in working with Waits, thus starting their productive and prosperous relationship with each other, and his brother.
The trio made its first impressive imprint on the Las Vegas nightlife scene when they took the reins of the space once occupied by La Bete nightclub at Wynn Las Vegas and redesigned/transformed it into Tryst, which became one of Sin City’s most lucrative and successful venues.
The powerhouse team followed up Tryst with XS, which is arguably the most profitable and powerful nightclub in the world after an amazing first year on the nightlife scene.
Combine all that with Drai's After Hours' unparalled success as the longest-running after hours venue in Las Vegas which celebrates its 10-year anniversary in 2010 and the threesome's latest venture - Drai's Hollywood - and you have one of the world's most dominant nightlife teams which Waits has had one of the biggest hands in developing into greatness.
And if that's not impressive enough - he's good looking to boot! Check out this interview with Jesse:
