Jessie J has given fans a deeply personal and uplifting update: she is officially cancer-free. The singer shared the news via her Instagram stories on June 26, noting that after recent surgery, her doctors confirmed the cancer is “all gone.” With her usual humor and honesty, she added a lighthearted note—”My n\*pple is where it used to be”—underscoring her relief and reclaiming her body with grace. It’s the kind of candor fans have come to admire from her throughout this difficult chapter.
Jessie first revealed her breast cancer diagnosis in early June, saying she was told in April that she had early-stage cancer. She made the decision to go public not only to process it herself, but to offer support to others facing similar battles. Her announcement was raw and clear-eyed—she admitted to struggling with the reality while continuing to work, and hoped her openness would invite strength and connection from those who had been through it.
Despite the diagnosis, she didn’t slow down immediately. On June 15, just weeks after going public, Jessie performed at Wembley’s Capital Summertime Ball—her final performance before undergoing surgery. It was a powerful show of resilience, made even more striking in hindsight, now that we know she was already preparing for a mastectomy and breast reconstruction.
Following her operation, Jessie returned to Instagram with a list of things she was grateful for: uninterrupted time to rest, long conversations with friends, and the support of her partner, Chanan Safir Colman. She also mentioned the comfort of having her mother living with them, and the joy of spending time with her two-year-old son, Sky. Even as her body healed, Jessie found space to laugh—mentioning guilt-free Love Island binges and a bluntly honest complaint about post-surgery constipation.
Still, she hasn’t sugarcoated the tough parts. Jessie shared that she still worries the cancer might return and has struggled emotionally with not being able to parent as fully as she’s used to. One clip showed her crying from pain in her hospital bed, saying, “I’m so sore,” while Chanan kissed her forehead in quiet support. These moments, equal parts vulnerable and strong, have resonated deeply with fans.
Now at home, Jessie J continues to rest and recover—but with the most important news already delivered. As she put it herself, “We all got this.” Her words and courage have echoed beyond music and into the lives of those who needed to hear them.
