It all started with an innocent group chat. According to People, Jordin Sparks and Dana Isaiah first met virtually after their mother's included them in a text thread. Isaiah was planning on moving to Los Angeles and his mother, who is good friends with Sparks' mom, thought the singer would be the best person to answer any of his questions about the city. "My mom was trying to get [Jordin] to talk me out of moving to L.A. because she's experienced the industry out here," Isaiah confessed to the outlet. "It wasn't like, 'We want you guys to date."
At the time, he was an aspiring model and wanted to further his career. When the couple finally met face to face, they instantly became friends and had no intentions of dating each other. "We just connected on a deep platonic level when we first started talking," Sparks said during an interview with Today. "We weren't even interested in looking for a relationship, so we had made that clear to each other." Although her husband didn't initially move to Los Angeles at first, their love for each other grew, and in months Sparks and Isaiah secretly got married in 2017.
Isaiah is now Sparks' manager and handles her bookings and all serious inquiries related to her career, according to his Instagram bio. And, in addition to taking on that full-time role, he's also added father to his list of duties.
