Jessica Origliasso always loved Ruby Rose

The Veronicas’ Jessica Origliasso has always loved Ruby Rose.

The 31-year-old singer – who is joined in the band by her sister Lisa – briefly dated the ‘Orange is the New Black’ actress in 2008 but has admitted, despite eight years passing by, she’s always had feelings for her and is thrilled they’re back together.

Speaking on Australia’s Nova’s Fitzy and Wippa on Tuesday (11.08.16), she said: "We adore each other. We’ve supported each other through the last eight years of our lives, personally and professionally we’ve really grown together."

And Jessica believes she has her band’s new single ‘On Your Side’ to thank for her new rekindled romance with Ruby.

She explained: "We were talking about the music video, [Ruby’s] such an incredibly creative person. She connected very deeply with this song. We fell into being in it together and creating this characters who play out this quite dramatic love story.

"It sort of just happened completely organically, we didn’t see it coming – she’s just an incredible woman and have incredible and I feel incredibly lucky to know her."

The couple fuelled speculation they had reunited with a series of pictures on Instagram and Jess says they want to find a balance between sharing their union and protecting their romance.

She said recently: "When we first got together way, way back, it was hard to know how much to share.

"Now we are quite protective of what we have, so obviously being able to be open enough but keeping a lot of it for ourself is something that we’re very conscious of and I think it just depends on the people what you’re willing to share."

Ruby’s rekindled relationship comes just a few months after she split from Harley Gusman, whom she dated briefly this year, and a year after she called off her engagement to Phoebe Dahl.
