Jordin Sparks gushes over her new boyfriend, Sage the Gemini. “He’s just an amazing guy,” she told E! News. “He’s very sweet. He’s got a big heart. He cherishes me, he just makes me feel so loved, and I feel like that’s how anybody would feel in a relationship.”
And while the two artists are juggling hectic schedules, Sparks credits technology for playing a major role in being able to stay in touch. “As with anything if you really want something, if you really want something to work, you’ll figure out a way to do it,” she mused. “If you don’t, you’ll make an excuse.” The two fly back and forth to visit each other on days off or they meet in the middle, and Sparks says “it can be a little crazy, but that time is so worth it.”
As for the “American Idol” alum’s journey to finding love, the 25-year-old says she simply had a lot of growing up to do… “I know now, there was a lot I needed to experience, to go through, to learn, and I feel like before on my album, I was young, I was a kid,” she said. “I sang these songs, and I was able to emote, but I hadn’t gone through what I was singing about. So, now fast-forward, when you hear a love song, I know what that feels like now, you’ll feel that.”
In other news, Sparks upcoming album, Right Here Right Now, has been a labor of love for the young superstar. “Nineteen to 25 is a pretty big growth spurt and I’ve been able to grow, learn, and experiment with different parts of my voice, and I feel like people will really get to hear that on this album. — I’m still trying to figure things out,” she added. “I feel like the 20s, you’re learning who you are, you’re figuring out really what you love, and what you like.”
If you ask us, Sparks has come a long way since her very public split with “So You Think You Can Dance” judge Jason Derulo. And we couldn’t be happier for her. For a gallery of photos featuring Hollywood’s latest dynamic duo, scroll below.
