Singer and entrepreneur Jessica Jung has returned to her fans with her brand new solo album “With Love, J” after wrapping up her years with Girls’ Generation and inking a new contract with Coridel Entertainment. Her current agency, Coridel, is where Korean-American CEO Tyler Kwon -- long rumored to be the boyfriend of Jessica -- heads management. In an interview with a Korean online media platform Tuesday, the star finally spilled the beans on her low-key relationship with Kwon.

“I don’t want to go as far as denying the rumors (on myself and Kwon). Whenever media outlets claim we’re in a relationship, I just pass over it,” she said.

“I’ve never officially talked about our relationship, but it’s comfortable working with him and feels reassuring because we root for each other.”

Jessica also opened up on her recent change of perspective on relationships. “For about 18 months, I’ve been able to think about the relationships surrounding me and the sense of loyalty within. I didn’t really care about those values before, but now, it’s important to have those who laugh and cry with me.”

She wrapped up the interview with thoughts on marriage. “I envy my friends enjoying their married lives. I’ve always taken marriage into consideration since childhood -- I’ve dreamed about it.”

Jessica is currently promoting her new album, “With Love, J.”
