"The couple has been dating for two years and look forward to building a life together," the statement added. Though the two have always stayed tight-lipped about their relationship in public, fans had guessed something was going on. According to PEOPLE, during Shannon Sharpe's Club Shay Shay podcast, Jones responded to online talk about her personal life. "I love the internet because they definitely clocked my tea. I love that. Little spies everywhere. I feel like I'm in a detective movie," she said in February. "But you know what, I'm happy. And I will say my music is the outlet that I use to tell most of my stories and my truth, and some things I keep for myself 'cause this is my life, too." "I don't want to ever feel like I have to be somebody's secret. I don't want to make anybody feel like they're mine. I think, for me, I"m trying to protect myself, and I'm trying to protect my family na whoever I love. So, yeah, I am more private," she further said. (ANI)
