As Jason Derulo announces 'retirement' before Glasgow gig, is he married and does he have any children?
Jason Derulo has announced he is retiring from music - but it’s not the end of his performing career.
The singer-songwriter launched what he has described as the most ambitious tour of his career at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on Thursday night, revealing it marks a “retirement” of his long-running pop persona.
Speaking to Bizarre’s Howell ahead of the opening show, Derulo explained why he has called it The Last Dance Tour.
He said: “It’s my last bow, it’s the curtain call for the Jason that you’ve always known.
“But it’s a celebration of the past and an introduction to what is to come. So it is a retirement of one version of me and the start of a new one.”
Derulo has also released a new eight-track album, The Last Dance (part one), with a second instalment due later this year that will introduce a different sound.
The Ridin’ Solo singer added: “I’m a different human being than I was ten years ago, and the music slowly does the same.
“It starts to morph into something different and I want to do something completely different.
“This first part is a bow to what I’ve done in the past. It should feel nostalgic and have elements of me throughout the years. The next half will be that dramatic change.”
Whether Derulo will be keeping his stage name, or changing things up entirely, is still under wraps. Other singers have done it before, such as Lady Antebellum switching to Lady A, Kaye West now going by Ye, and country singer Sturgill Simpson, who recently renamed himself to Johnny Blue Skies.
His career to date has spanned 17 years, during which he has sold more than 250m singles worldwide and scored five UK number one hits.
Is Jason Derulo married?
While Jason Derulo has had a couple of high-profile relationships, he has never actually married - and is believed to be single at the time of publication.
The singer was dating fellow artist Jordin Sparks for three years, although that came to an end in 2014. He also dated Jena Frumes, and while they separated a few years ago there are rumours they may have reconciled.
Does Jason Derulo have any children?
From his relaitonship with Frumes, Derulo has one child called Jason King, who was born in May 2021. The couple split soon after his birth.
