Jordin SparksandDana Isaiahare the first to admit theirrelationship has been fast-tracked.

“It’s transformed both of us,” the singer, 28, says about expanding their family. “I feel like as humans we should always be trying to be better and trying to grow. With him, it’s just expedited the process. I already know that Dana’s infinitely better and I’m infinitely better just because DJ’s here.”
Sparks alsoleaned on her husbandwhen she got emotional during the first few months of pregnancy and in the difficult weeks after giving birth.
“I was crying all the time and I was anxious too,” she says about the unexpected wave of emotions that hit her after the couple brought DJ home. “My chest would feel really tight. The thought of taking him out of the house was scary. I wasn’t ready for all those different things.”
With the support of Isaiah, however, the star is now in a “better” place emotionally.
“For moms,they do carry a lot bigger load, so you can understand,” says Isaiah. “You go through nine, 10 months of carrying him, then he comes and you’re just like, ‘I have to leave him’ when he’s been attached to you the entire time. That can be a lot.”
