She told US TV talk show host David Letterman: "We've been dating a couple of years. I don't really like to talk about it much, though. We met through a mutual friend but we had a lot of phone conversations before meeting up so got to know each other that way.

But they were PG phone calls!" Jessica recently revealed she has no desire to get married in the near future as she wants to concentrate on her career.

The 27-year-old beauty - who recently set up home with Justin - said: "I have no idea if I want to get married. I have a lot to do, career-wise.

You love who you love. It's not like you meet somebody one day and say, 'OK, I'm not going to put up with his fame!' Or, 'Yes, I am going to put up with his celebrity.' You can't choose that. It just happens to you."
