Jessie J says she hopes to find a man in the US.

The singer, 26, has been quoted as saying that she wants to move to the US because "in America they see me as a singer".

Now she has told Cosmopolitan magazine: "Maybe America is the place I'll meet the man of my dreams? My mum and dad have been together 36 years and they've shown me what real love is like.

"When you have that to look up to, you know you have to get it right. I like a guy who can make me laugh."

The former Voice coach said that romance had suffered because of modern technology.

"I think with Instagram and Twitter, romance has lost its way," she told the mag.

"It's all, 'Oh I've got this girl but I could have this one and I can contact her directly right this minute.' I think if we lost technology for a year there would be more people getting married!"

Jessie also admitted she wants to have kids in the not too distant future.

She said: "I'm 26 and I want to have kids in the next four to eight years - obviously not right now.

"But I'm not 16, I'm a woman and I live a 26-year-old woman's life. I have relationships and I have sex... and that's OK... I'm growing up and I don't want to obscure any parts of me or take them away."

The full interview appears in the November issue of Cosmopolitan.
