"Jason Derulo has revealed that his girlfriend Jordin Sparks was instrumental in helping him recover from a serious neck injury. The &amp;#039;In My Head&amp;#039; singer fractured his neck during rehearsals for his 2012 tour, sidelining him for several months as he recuperated.  Derulo reflected on that difficult time with E! News, and revealed that it was Sparks who gave him the strength to recover. &amp;quot;It really gave me a chance to get to know myself and really get close to my family and it got me closer to Jordin, which is also really amazing,&amp;quot; the musician explained. He went on to say: &amp;quot;It really did bring a lot of positive to my life. It gave me a chance to look at my life and decipher what was positive and what was kind of taking up space [and] Jordin was very instrumental in my recovery.&amp;quot;  Derulo also suggested that the serious injury taught him to appreciate &amp;quot;the simple things&amp;quot; in life. &amp;quot;That situation brought [Jordin and I] very close because I think it takes a very special person to drop everything they&amp;#039;ve got going on in their life, especially someone of her calibre, to come and aid me. That was really special,&amp;quot; he said. There have been rumors of the couple marrying for months, but Sparks recently said that she is in no rush to tie the knot.
