“It’s a beautiful thing [that we can support each other], especially given our new relationship: co-parenting,” Derulo said to People.
“We have an amazing relationship, and we don’t care if we’re confusing people about our situation because our situation is our situation.”
The singer added: “We love [our son] more than anything, and his wellbeing is really important to us.”
“I’m really attentive of her wellbeing as well, and I want her to be good. I care about her a lot. We have an amazing relationship, contrary to a lot of people’s beliefs.”

On July 1, 2022, Jena explained more details surrounding her split from ex-boyfriend Jason.
On Instagram, she said: “It’s unfortunate my situation didn’t work out because we once did aspire to be married, but maybe it’s best to be single than in a relationship and constantly be disrespected and cheated on and lied to.”
“Or is it better to stay and be quiet so people like you approve?”
