Jason Derulo did an interview with NY radio station Power 105 earlier this week to promote his “Talk Dirty” tour, which kicks off in the US this week. (And now I have that song stuck in my head.) Derulo was on a world tour from about February to June of this year. I mention that as background to his recent breakup with his girlfriend, Jordin Sparks. These two broke up after three years just last week. It came as a shock to many of us who were used to seeing them looking adorable together on the red carpet. I was really hoping they’d get married.
In other recent interviews promoting his tour, Jason has blamed Jordin pressuring him to marry her for their breakup. That’s ripe considering that Jason featured Jordin in the video for his single, “Marry Me,” last year.
In his interview with Power 105, Jason revealed that he actually broke up with Jordin over the phone. He laughed it off, claiming that he was away. He also gave some of the reasons behind their breakup, claiming that they argued over small things all the time but that he still loves her. It didn’t sound like Jason was open to any kind of reconciliation, though.
On if he cheated
No, man. [The tabloid rumors] got to the extent where it was like, I got this one girl pregnant. There was none of that. We had our problems in our relationship. Every relationship has it’s ups and downs. When you start having more downs than ups you have to take a look at your relationship and be like “is this something I’m supposed to be doing?”On what they couldn’t get past
It was just small things adding up. I work really hard, I’m all over the world and when I come home the last thing I want to do is argue. When it’s more arguing than having a good time you have to look at it, “yo, is this healthy?” I reached that point where I felt like I was more in a negative space.On the pictures of him out with other women
You’re going to always see pictures of me with other women, but you can’t put that woman in my bed just because she has her hand on my shoulder. Women are around me all the time and women grab ahold to me all the time.On Jordin pressuring him to get married
Just going back to what went wrong, there was a lot of pressure from the marriage perspective. The song [Marry Me] was saying “when the time is right” you know what I’m saying? I don’t want to say that’s why… there was a lot of different small things that made our relationship… sour.On how things are now
You want to remain friends, but man that’s hard. I catch myself looking at her Instagram and seeing what she’s doing because I love her. You just don’t fall out of love with somebody.A situation like this [leading up to the breakup] has been going on for a long time and I’ve been feeling this for a long time.
On how he broke up with her
Naw [I didn’t text her], it was like over the phone. I wasn’t in town.On if there was a dealbreaker argument
There was. It was at a restaurant. I don’t want to get into that specific argument… it was like small, petty things like that, but when you’re arguing all the time, then what? We tried [to work it out]… my biggest flaw is I work all the time and it can be lonely.

So Jason denied cheating on Jordin and is basically saying that they argued too much. If I was Jordin, I would be pissed off that my ex was talking so much about it, but if that’s the case she’s taking the high road. In an interview with a TMZ paparazzo she did throw a tiny bit of shade on Jason but she remained very positive and gracious. The photographer asked her if Jason broke up with her because she was pressuring him for marriage. (Jason has given this reason in two interviews so far.) Jordin quipped “I really don’t have a comment on anything that’s been said because everything is just words.” When asked if she thought they would remain friends she said “I hope so, definitely… I just wish him nothing but the best, I want him to be successful.” Very classy.
Star Magazine is running a report from a model named Carmen Ortega, who claimed that she slept with Jason in the summer of 2013, when he was still very much with Jordin. Carmen told Star “We dated for a month. We went out in public with friends a few times, so I assumed he didn’t have a girlfriend.” I’m not saying it’s this woman’s fault by any means, but if this is true what took her so long to google him?
