The singer-songwriter said her new romance with the unnamed female musician has made her “happier than ever”.
The 35-year-old told The Metro: “We met through music. And I definitely feel happier than ever. It feels great.”
Previously, she was married to ex-husband Adam Gouraguine between 2012 and 2014.
But now she has said she feels her new partner is the “one for life” and she has introduced her to her parents.
Asked if she now identifies as bisexual, she replied: “I’m not sure what I identify as but I guess so. I just feel like I should fall in love with whoever I fall in love with.”
She spoke of the joy of having someone to support her with her career behind the scenes.
“If you don’t really have someone to share it with or someone supporting you behind the scenes, it’s very difficult,” she said.
“So now I feel very fulfilled: I’ll always love music and I love my career but now it just feels that despite what happens, I can just enjoy life and be really happy.”
The Read All About It hitmaker married long-term boyfriend Adam Gouraguine in his home country of Montenegro in 2012 but the pair divorced 12 months later.
Previously, the singer spoke of her heartbreak after the split which she put down to “growing into different people”.
She told The Times: "Adam and I had been together since I was 17. He was my only boyfriend. That’s the only person I’ve been with for the past 10 years. So [losing] our relationship more than the marriage was the big part for me to deal with. Having a friend who’d been my best friend for so long .. Losing that support and structure in my life was the biggest thing."
She added: "I was on tour all the time and I think it was quite unfair of me to want his world to fit into my life so much. He’d come on tour then he’d go away for three months on a marine biology expedition somewhere.
"When we caught up it was great and we could tell each other stories, but it was almost like we were living our lives away from each other and growing into different people... We were mates, but maybe we shouldn’t have been married.”
