Jordin Sparksreally has no complaints. Her new album Right Here, Right Now is coming outthis summer, her new single "Double Tap" is getting a great response, and she can’tstop gushing over her new beau, rapper Sage the Gemini [real name: Dominic WynnWoods]. “He is a great guy,” she tells HELLO!. “He is very sweet and makes mevery happy.”

Though the two recordedtogether on her upcoming album, the romance didn’t start until after working inthe studio. "We’ve been talking for a little bit,” she continues. “He is a goodguy. I don’t really know how to explain it. It’s amazing.”

And from her Instagram pictures, it seems the two are spending their every move together. “Ithink it’s just when you feel comfortable,” she explains about posting allthose lovely snaps. “It was just a natural thing to do. We also like thepictures to speak for themselves so that’s all I’m going to say on that!”

As Jordin gets toknow Sage, (according to her, they don’t have a title yet and are “just talking”)she does admit that it is different from her past public relationship andsplit [to singer Jason Derulo.] The 25-year-old, who suffers from intensemigraines, jokes, “Sometimes you can get a migraine from different people inyour life.”

Luckily, the painfrom the migraines hasn’t caused her to cancel or miss anything major, perhaps just a date night with her new man. “When you get a migraine, the lastthing you are thinking about is anything else but the pain that is happening inyour head,” she shares. “It’s been where I need at least 45 minutes to get thisunder control because it was affecting me so much. I always have Excedrin in mybag. It’s the only thing that helps me get my migraines under control.”

Growing up, shewitnessed her mom suffer from the debilitating headaches and Jordin admits thatstress certainly doesn’t help her career: “After Idol, all of a sudden I’m in this new world andjob, I didn’t know what I was doing and it was super stressful. I’m travelingall the time, I have different deadlines all the time so I have to really watchit and really keep an eye out for different things.”

One way the singerunwinds is in the gym. “I’m really enjoying Cardio Barre. I always wanted to bea point ballerina when I was younger, but it’s fun to be able to do the class,”she says. “I love hot yoga. I love to hike.”

We bet herfavorite workout of all though is with the “Swerve” rapper. “He likes to play sportsand you know how boys are, they just like to be outside,” she quips. “Hedefinitely is very encouraging.”
