Introduction
Fresh off his win on American Idol, singer Jamal Roberts is making waves with his new single, “Mississippi.” The soulful track, released on July 25, 2025, is a tribute to his home state and the family he misses while on the road.
As a dedicated father to his three daughters—7-year-old Harmony, 4-year-old Lyric, and newborn Janna—Roberts has captivated fans with his heartfelt commitment to fatherhood. However, many have been surprised to learn that the 27-year-old is single, a fact he’s openly discussed since his victory in May.
The singer frequently faces questions about his relationship status on social media. During a July 13 Facebook Live session, a fan commented, “You need to get married to one of your kids’ moms.” Roberts used the comment as a chance to share his perspective on marriage.
He explained that many marriages fail because people rush into them with “seasonal” partners, a concept that resonated with many viewers. He believes that people often get caught up in superficial attraction, like how someone looks or talks, without truly understanding their character.
“Sometimes God will put seasonal people in your life for a season, and you are so infatuated with how they look and how they smell and how they talk that you want to get married, and you wonder why the marriage didn’t last,” Roberts said.
According to Roberts, finding the right partner requires patience and divine timing. He stated, “When God truly puts something together, no man can tear it apart,” and encouraged his fans to wait for the right person instead of settling for someone who might not be a good long-term match.
Roberts, who was crowned the winner of American Idol season 23 in May 2025, has made it clear that his daughters are his top priority. He told Billboard that fatherhood has been “the most wonderful thing” to ever happen to him, teaching him patience and respect.
In a June 2025 interview on “The Love You More Show” with Willie Moore Jr., Roberts described his ideal wife as someone who is understanding, non-judgmental, and respects his relationship with his children.
Ultimately, Roberts is in no rush to get married. He’s choosing to focus on his music and his daughters, believing that the right partnership will come when the time is right. His love story, he says, is currently being told through his journey with Harmony, Lyric, and Janna.
