Jordin Sparks on Jason Derulo: I Wish Him the Best

American Idol alum talks breakup, says she won’t respond to rumors.

If there are any ill feelings between Jordin Sparks and Jason Derulo after their breakup, the 24-year-old beauty has no intentions of expressing them publicly.  

When a TMZ camera guy caught up with the one-time American Idol winner in New York yesterday (Oct. 1), she said that she was doing “great” but wouldn’t respond to Derulo’s claims that he was being pressured into marriage. “I really don’t have a comment on anything that’s been said ‘cause everything is just that. It’s just words.”

Even though it's only been a week since the news, Derulo, 25, has been more talkative about the split in interviews, while Sparks has been mostly mum.

However, she does want to be freinds with Derulo. “I hope so. Yeah, I definitely do,” said Sparks. "He’s super busy, I know that he’s got a tour coming up. I’m busy, I have movies and stuff. I just wish him nothing but the best, just want him to be successful.”

Derulo and Sparks dated for three years. Perhaps to calm the alleged weddding pressure that he was feeling, the “Talk Dirty” singer cast Sparks in his 2013 music video for “Marry Me.”
