Somewhere, Jordin Sparks is doing a major eye roll. Jason Derulo and his new girlfriend, model Daphne Joy, made their red carpet debut at the People’s Choice Awards on Wednesday night.

They were ready for their close-up, wearing coordinating black and white outfits. Her white dress had a sexy leg slit and cut-outs to show off her curves; he rocked one of the more formal looks with a scarf draped over his suit and also had on a slew of diamonds.

The “Talk Dirty” singer, 26, has been dating Joy — whose major claim to fame prior to this is that she has a 3-year-old son, Sire, with 50 Cent — since November. The duo rang in the New Year together near Miami. He posted an Instagram photo of them in their swimsuits, using the hashtag “baewatch.”

Asked about his relationship on the red carpet last night, Derulo told E! News, “I don’t want to talk too much about it, but I’m definitely enjoying life right now.”

Looks that way. He’s probably happy to move on. In 2014, he split with his longtime girlfriend Jordin Sparks and they had a war of words for most of last year. The American Idol winner turned superstar put him on blast for his ungentlemanly breakup skills. Not only did he dump her over the phone, she said, but a BMW that he claimed to have purchased for her turned out to be leased. She returned the car soon after… and got together with current beau Sage the Gemini.

Asked about it by Billboard magazine, Derulo said he was “tired of playing nice, especially when people think I did something wrong, or that she broke up with me. But it’s so behind me.”

He’s looking ahead — with Joy.
