After asking fans to guess her "secret", Sanchez finally admitted that she and the 17-year-old are a couple, saying: "He's my boyfriend. Love you guys. Byeeee!"
Brackensick later took to his Twitter account where he confirmed the news, writing: "Me and Jessica are officially dating. Yes Jessica is my girlfriend."
Sanchez, 16, has signed a record deal with Interscope and is working on the release of an upcoming album.
She and Brackensick are currently on the American Idol summer tour along with fellow contestants and winner Phillip Phillips.
She's got a fantastic voice - sadly he hasn't and is as camp as Christmas...

Jessica is so young but talented. Her current love affair is sweet,but could be risky as a neophyte to a relationship. I just wish it wouldnt break her heart. Go jessica !
