The singer’s world was turned upside down following the death of his partner, hairstylist Olly Marmon, 33, who fell more than 30ft from their hotel suite in Northamptonshire in August 2024.
The happy couple had been in a relationship since 2009 and got engaged in 2014.
The grieving star penned a tear-jerking post on Instagram and wrote: “For 14 years this was the happiest day of my year, every year without fail!
“Our anniversary! The day you made me the man I am today by saying yes to being my boyfriend!
“To say this day, for the past two has been pretty much unbearable would be an understatement! (sic).
“Today was supposed to be our 1st wedding anniversary, our 16th anniversary together and today it just feels like the year mark from the day I laid you, my beautiful boy, to rest!
“I don’t know how I’ve survived without you! You were without a shed of doubt the best thing that has and will ever happen to me!
“The glue that held us all together. I want you to know on this day that it will always be our anniversary, I will always be yours!
“In all of our years together I only have one regret – I’m not sure many people can say they only have one in a relationship as long as ours!
“It’s that I couldn’t fulfil yours and my dream of making it down the aisle!“
He continued: “The day you officially became mine. I always laugh at me swearing at all our friends taking the p** making smooching sounds lol.
“The best day of my entire life and always will be! I love you Oliver more than anyone has ever loved another person!
“Until I’m in your arms again I will never be complete or whole, but I will for you live as much as I can!
“I’m trying not to get too upset writing this because it’s taken more of me than I thought I had this past year to even survive but I can’t help it.
“I miss you, I miss me, I miss us, our life. I miss the life we were robbed of!
“I know you were only loaned to me for 15 incredible years but I wanted and still want more!
“One thing I had never felt since the day you walked into my life was lonely, but now it me all I feel (sic).
“There are so many wonderful people around me, but I said it before, the 8 billion people on this planet couldn’t patch the hole you’ve left in my heart, even a fraction!“
He concluded: “I love you my beautiful boy! Ever thine, even mine, ever ours. 24 XXIV. Happy anniversary.”
Jaymi was one of the founding members of Union J in 2012 – formerly known as Triple J.
The singer starred in the ninth series of The X Factor alongside contestants George Shelley, JJ Hamblett and Josh Cuthbert.
The foursome came fifth in the competition, which was eventually won by solo singer James Arthur – beating Rylan into fifth, in the same series as Ella Henderson.
