Jessica describes her relation ship: "We come from the same place. He was born and bred in Darwin, and not such a traditional Greek Background".

Speaking on Nova 96.9 to Fitzy and Wippa, the former Australian Idol winner  spoke about how a fight with long term boyfriend Themeli Magripilis gave her the idea for her latest single.


“It does stem from my relationship, and unfortunately it was a disagreement between me and my partner, Them.
“Which is great, I mean, a song came out of it,” she joked.
“This disagreement started on a Saturday night and then it trailed all the way through to Sunday. It was pretty shitty,” she said, before reassuring that despite the disagreement her relationship was still better than ever.
Last year, Jessica sparked rumours of an engagement after she was spotted with a huge sparkler on her finger at Eurovision.
However, when asked by Fitzy and Wippa if Them had got down on one knee yet the Aussie beauty confirmed: “not yet.”
