Jordin Sparks has announced that she married her boyfriend at a secret ceremony and is expecting her first child. The American Idol winner wed Dana Isaiah back in July and said that she is ready to ‘shout it from the mountain tops.’
The pair, who are expecting their first baby together in spring 2018, said that they are incredibly proud to be married. ‘We’re really proud to be married to each other and to be celebrating this.’ Sparks, who eloped with her boyfriend while on holiday in Hawaii said that being married makes the relationship feel different. ‘It just more solidifies the whole team sentiment of a relationship.’
Sparks has had several high-profile relationships in the past and said she thought she might be single for a long time to come. ‘I’d gone through a crazy time last year, so I was just like ‘You know what? I’m good. I’m going to stay single. I’m just not going to look.’ She then describes meeting her now husband saying he just ‘showed up at her door.’
She told People Magazine that it has taken a while to get used to the fact that she is married and expecting a baby next year. ‘It’s been really crazy because everything changes. Once we got over the initial shock of it, now again just like it is with the marriage, to be able to share that this amazing thing is happening, it’s such a great thing.’
