Grammy-nominated singer Jordin Sparks, 34, skyrocketed to fame when she won the show «American Idol» in 2006. She capitalized on her sudden fame by releasing two albums in 2007 and 2009. Her self-titled album included her hits «Tattoo» and «No Air», the latter of which was recorded with Chris Brown and reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, according to All Music. She then took a break from the spotlight and did not release music until her 2015 studio album «Right Here Right Now».
Shortly after the release of the album «Right Here Right Now», Jordin met the love of her life: Dana Isaiah. The couple got married in 2017, and the following year welcomed their son, Dana Isaiah Thomas Jr. Jordin has spent her entire married life admiring their special bond, so who is this person who stole her heart? Keep reading to get to know Dana Isaiah.
Dana Isaiah, born in Chicago in 1992, is a model and entrepreneur who helps manage Jordin, according to his biography on Instagram. He is also affiliated with the NFT group, Baby Ape Social Club, as he also promotes it in his Instagram bio. The social club is a «limited collection of 5000 NFT Baby Ape» that «resides on Dab Island, located in the heart of the Bermuda Triangle, situated in the blockchain», according to Flaunt.
Dana is also the author of the religious book «Higher Calling: Claiming God’s Best for Your Life». According to his publisher, HarperCollins Publishers, the 2018 book «offers an honest, practical look at strengthening your faith» through self-improvement practices and reflections.
«I wrote these reflections because these are issues I personally can deal with», - he noted in an interview with The Christian Post. «If you have someone my age who openly acknowledges their mistakes and is willing to admit where they went wrong, others will listen. Mistakes happen; they are inevitable. But I want young people to know that they are not defined by their mistakes and can start over at any time».
Dana grew up in a religious family. Although Dana was born in Chicago, he grew up in Missouri, where his parents ran a Christian camp specializing in sports and preaching the Gospel, according to HarperCollins. The talented model continued to play basketball at Southeastern University of Florida, where, according to HarperCollins, his love for writing developed.
Jordin told the Today show in 2020 that she did not expect such a deep connection with Dana when they first met remotely through mutual friends. «We just found a deep platonic connection when we started talking. We weren’t even interested in pursuing a relationship, so we made that clear to each other», - she recalled.
However, everything changed when Dana knocked on her door. «He came to Los Angeles, and I said, let’s meet», - she continued. «When I opened the door, looked at him and thought … (sigh!) … 'Oh no!'» She added, «I knew (love at first sight) was possible, but I didn’t think it would happen to me. But it literally did. I knew on the second day, when we spent time together, that this was the man I would spend the rest of my life with. He didn’t know that, and I didn’t tell him, but I knew». How sweet!
Jordin and Dana got married in Hawaii on July 16, 2017, but did not reveal their union until November of the same year. The couple was on a trip to a remote paradise island with friends and decided it was the perfect chance to get married. «We didn’t have a specific plan or anything like that. We just said, 'If it happens, it happens. If not, that’s okay too,'» she told PEOPLE magazine.
She continued that she noticed paparazzi taking photos of her and Dana, which prompted the wedding. «We all went into the water and had fun», - she recalled. The multi-platinum singer said she then asked her best friend Morgan, who «was ordained before the trip», to marry them.
