Jessie J revealed to her fans on June 4 that she has been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. Sharing the news in an Instagram video, she spoke candidly about the diagnosis, choosing to face the situation with humor despite its seriousness. She joked about how it felt like a “very dramatic way to get a b\*ob job” and teased about doing a remix called “Living my breast life,” showing her resilient spirit as a way to cope with the difficult news.
Jessie explained that she had struggled with whether to share the diagnosis publicly, wanting to be honest but aware of the many opinions out there. She revealed she was diagnosed before releasing her song “No Secrets,” emphasizing the word “early” to highlight that, while cancer is always tough, catching it early is crucial. She admitted she had been burying the news under her work as a way to process it.
The 37-year-old singer said she has undergone multiple tests and will be taking a break from music and promotions after her upcoming performance at the Summertime Ball on June 15. She promised fans she will return after surgery with “massive t\*ts and more music,” maintaining her characteristic positivity.
On a personal note, Jessie J has been in a relationship with basketball player Chanan Colman since 2021, and the couple welcomed their son in May 2023.
