Jessie J has shared an emotional glimpse into her recent fight with early-stage breast cancer, offering a heartfelt update with her 14 million Instagram followers.
Known for her candidness, the “Price Tag” singer included a trigger warning before opening up about her experience—from the emotional toll to the physical challenges of surgery and recovery—while expressing deep gratitude for her support system.
Earlier this month, the British pop star revealed the shocking diagnosis in a touching video post. The 37-year-old singer, who is also mom to two-year-old Sky, explained that she had been through a series of medical tests and was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. “Cancer is awful in any form,” she said, “but I’m clinging to the word ‘early’.” Never one to lose her sense of humor, she added jokingly, “I guess this is one dramatic way to get a boob job.”
Jessie had just wowed fans at Capital’s Summertime Ball before announcing she would be undergoing surgery. In her recent update, she shared that the operation had taken place and posted several personal photos and videos from the hospital.
She posted a “blood warning” along with her message, explaining, “Here are some of the highs and lows from the last 48 hours. I believe in showing the full picture—the good and the tough.” Thanking the doctors, nurses, and loved ones who supported her, Jessie added, “I’m now home, resting and waiting for my results. Sending love to everyone else going through something hard. We’ve got this!”
The post featured a bright smile from her hospital bed, tender moments with her little boy Sky, and clips of her partner, basketball player Chanan Colman, standing by her side throughout the experience.
In one touching moment captured on video, Jessie, still groggy from the surgery, shared how she imagined her son saying, “Love you, mummy,” as she whispered “I love you” in return. Though she described feeling “so sore,” her message stayed hopeful.
Her post quickly drew an outpouring of love and support from fans and fellow celebrities alike. Marvin Humes commented, “Wow Jess… these posts are so powerful. Sky will keep you smiling and strong—sending so much love.” Gaby Roslin echoed the sentiment: “Sending you strength, energy, and so much love, beautiful soul.”
Jessie J has never shied away from sharing her health journey. Diagnosed with a heart condition at a young age, she also suffered a stroke in her teens. In 2020, she experienced temporary hearing loss from Ménière’s disease. More recently, she shared that she lives with ADHD and OCD, continuing to be a voice of resilience and authenticity.
Jessie J’s recent update is more than a health report—it’s a moving portrait of courage, honesty, and the strength that comes from vulnerability. With her signature mix of openness, humor, and emotional depth, she reminds fans that even in life’s hardest chapters, love and hope remain. Surrounded by her family and supported by millions, Jessie’s journey continues to inspire and uplift.
