Jordin Sparks is married and she’s expecting her first child with husband, fitness model Dana Isaiah, after just a few months of dating.
The American Idol winner shared the amazing news exclusively with PEOPLE Magazine on Tuesday.
Sparks and Isaiah eloped on July 16th while on vacation in Hawaii, just one month later, they found out she was pregnant. The two kept it all a secret until now, “We’re both really excited,” Sparks told PEOPLE during an interview.
The couple’s love story begins with a charity campaign in Houston during Super Bowl weekend. After first meeting Isaiah’s family in February, Isaiah’s mom contacted Sparks’ mom to summon her daughter’s help in convincing Isaiah to stay home, instead of moving out west to pursue modeling. The two moms put their children in a group chat and the rest is history. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

According to PEOPLE, the couple spoke every day for the next month until Isaiah flew out to L.A. over Easter weekend. That’s when the two finally met. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

“A couple days after we had actually met, I was like in my head ‘That’s going to be my husband! That’s my husband right there,” Sparks said, revealing that they decided not to move in together until they were married. “When I’m with him, I feel comfort and safety and calm and peace, and those aren’t things that I normally felt. So it was a little wake-up call for me.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The couple initially bonded over their shared Christian beliefs, and just months after officially meeting, they already knew they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together.
They started dating just months after Sparks’ her very public and bitter breakup last year from Sage the Gemini. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
