During her time away, Jessie, 37, welcomed her first child, son Sky, with boyfriend Chanan Safir Colman in 2023.

Jessie J reveals she has breast cancer
In an Instagram video shared during the early hours of Wednesday (June 4), the Grammy Award-nominated star admitted she had been “going back and forth a little bit on whether to share” the news with fans.
“I want to but there’s lots of opinions outside,” Jessie said, adding: “Also knowing that I want to share with my fans and the people that care about me, also I’m a sharer. I’ve always shared everything that I go through in my life.”
Jessie explained she was “diagnosed with early breast cancer” when No Secrets was released, stating: “Cancer sucks in any form but I’m holding onto the word early.”
She continued: “I have been in and out of tests throughout this whole period,” sharing that she had not been “processing it because I’m working so hard”.

Describing herself as an “open book”, Jessie admitted it “breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much, similar and worse”, adding: “That’s the bit that kills me.”
“I just wanted to let you guys know it wasn’t something I planned. I’m getting to keep my nipples. That’s good, it’s a weird topic and a weird situation.”
It’s a very dramatic way to get a boob job.
Next Sunday (June 15), Jessie will perform at Wembley Stadium for the Capital FM Summertime Ball. Following her performance, she revealed she will “disappear” to have surgery.
“It’s a very dramatic way to get a boob job,” she said, joking that she will return with “massive [bleep]s and more music”.
“Your girl needs a hug. Also not getting massive [bleep]s. Or am I? No no.. I must stop joking?” Jessie wrote in her caption.
