Jordin met her husband’s family even before she met him. The pretty singer was introduced to the Isaiah family at an event in February 2017 and was informed that Dana who was an aspiring model at the time, has plans to move to California. Sparks’ mother and Isaiah’s mum put both their children in a group text chat and they both tried to get Jordin into convincing Dana not to move out of Los Angeles. Dating was not the initial plan but as soon as they both met in person, things started to move quickly until they were both in love and married secretly in Hawaii that same year.
