It Was Love at First Sight for Jordin Sparks When She Met Her Now-Husband, Dana Isaiah

Uncover the essential facts related to It Was Love at First Sight for Jordin Sparks When She Met Her Now-Husband, Dana Isaiah in this special report.

The American Idol alum's first major public relationship was with fellow singer Jason Derulo. The pair dated seriously for three years, during which time Jason wrote the song "Marry Me" about her (she also appeared in the music video for the tune), before they split up in 2014.

Jordin later met model Dana Isaiah (whose full name is Dana Isaiah Thomas) after their mothers put them in touch through a group text. At the time, Dana was interested in moving to Los Angeles to further pursue a modeling career, and his family wanted Jordin to talk him out of it. The two first got to know one another virtually, and after about a month of texting, they met in-person for the first time in L.A.

"We just connected on a deep platonic level when we first started talking," Jordin told TODAY about their friendship in 2020. "We weren't even interested in looking for a relationship, so we had made that clear to each other."

Once they did actually meet in-person, Jordin knew right away that she was in love.

"I knew [love at first sight] was possible, but I didn’t think it was going to happen to me. But that was literally what it was," she continued to TODAY. "I knew the second day that we hung out, that that was the man I was going to spend the rest of my life with. He didn't know that, and I didn't tell him that, but I knew."

Jordin's prediction about Dana proved to be true, as the couple eloped in Hawaii in mid-July of 2017. Shortly after they wed, Dana did move to Los Angeles.

Less than a year later, the pair welcomed their first child together.
