Singer Jessie J ponders over the missed childhood moments of her toddler son, due to her battle with cancer
Jessie J's Cancer Battle: A Journey of Resilience and Hope
Pop star Jessie J has been navigating a challenging journey since her breast cancer diagnosis in May 2025. The singer, who shares a two-year-old son named Sky with her boyfriend Chanan Safir Colman, has been open about the highs and lows she's experienced.
During a recent appearance on Jamie Laing's Great Company podcast, Jessie spoke candidly about her battle. She recalled the moment before being put to sleep for her mastectomy in June, a moment filled with euphoria and energy from the crowd at the Summertime Ball, her last show before her surgery.
The crowd erupted when Jessie mentioned that it was her last show before beating cancer. People held up signs saying "we love you" and "I've beat cancer twice." The show of support from her audience helped lift her spirits before her surgery.
However, Jessie has not shied away from sharing the difficulties she's faced. She has spoken about the emotional pain of being unable to touch her breast scars, with her mother massaging them instead, leading to a shared emotional breakdown.
Jessie has also admitted to having moments where she thought her situation would take a turn for the worse. In one instance, she was hospitalized due to an infection and symptoms initially suspected to be a blood clot, which added to her challenges.
Despite these setbacks, Jessie has remained positive. She believes her struggle will teach her something that she can use to help others. She has continued to update fans on her health while balancing her personal and family life, underscoring the complex emotional landscape she navigates as a mother fighting cancer.
Looking ahead, Jessie acknowledges the ongoing uncertainty, noting there is a "one in two chance" her cancer could return. She is cautiously optimistic and is planning the remainder of the year around further surgery and healing.
Throughout her journey, Jessie has shown remarkable resilience and hope. Her openness about her cancer battle serves as an inspiration to many, reminding us all that strength and hope can be found even in the most challenging of times.
