The couple have been reportedly dating since 2017, when Konta won the Miami Open.
"My boyfriend empowers me. He encourages me to trust my own decisions and be who I am, because he says I'm awesome — so therefore I should believe it too," Konta said in an interview with Hello magazine.
Jackson is the co-owner of British production house, 90SecondStory.
Johanna, Britain's No. 1 ranked tennis star, also revealed that the couple are pretty serious about each other and keen to have a long-term relationship.
"We live together and we've already got a few commitments at the moment," added Konta, who entered the second round of Wimbledon yesterday after beating Romanian Ana Bogdan 7-5, 6-3.
