Former “The Voice UK” coach Jessie J has had a challenging two years, and she intends to make some changes to help herself heal.
The singer made the brave decision to go public with her breast cancer diagnosis when she learned she had early-stage cancer in June 2025 and underwent a mastectomy. Then in May 2026, she revealed that she was cancer-free. The following month, she and her partner, Chanan Safir Colman, who is also the father of her child, broke up. Many things have taken their toll on her, and the “Bang Bang” singer wanted to let fans know she would be stepping away from the spotlight for a bit.
Jessie J Steps Away from the Spotlight
In an Instagram Story on Monday, September 7. Jessie J shared a glimpse into motherhood and how she is choosing to prioritize time with her son, Sky. She posted a black-and-white photo of herself and Sky holding hands and informed fans she would be taking a break from social media. “No place I would rather be. Bye social media. Be back when I want to be,” the text on the photo reads.
But the “Price Tag” singer made another farewell post for her fans, this time with a more detailed explanation of why she wanted to take a break from social media, while also reassuring them she was going to be alright. “I want to start this post off by saying I am ok,” she wrote on Instagram. “I am not at my best but very far from my worst, I know people can twist these kinds of posts.”
She continued, “It’s no secret that the last 2 years have been magical, successful, life-changing, and extremely busy. I have loved the last 2 years mostly, hated it in moments and learnt the most I have ever learnt about myself and what I want from my life and mostly what I want it to FEEL like.”
Jessie J Will Refocus Her Energy & Prioritize Her Well-Being
Jessie J listed several things, both good and bad, that happened in her life within the last two years. This includes moving from the United States to the United Kingdom, touring the world, putting out new music, raising her son and going through a breakup, “being diagnosed and beating breast cancer,” and being in control of her own social media as well as hair, makeup, and styling.
“The past 2 years has taken a toll on parts of me that I haven’t had time to give space and grace to,” she explained. “Now’s the time. Work has slowed down. So healing speeds up, please.” She let fans know that she would not be active on social media, a decision she was making: “To give my mind, body and heart a well needed hug.”
Jessie J also revealed she would be undergoing her second cancer reconstruction surgery, and she wanted to take time “to recharge, heal, to rest, to process, to love on myself and my boy, to water the next chapter of my life and most importantly be present and really live.”
Fans flooded the post’s comment section with supportive messages, praising the singer and her decision to prioritize herself. “Rest and come back even stronger, we’ll be here! You’re amazing,” she wrote. “Love you. This will be a wonderful time of restoration for you,” singer Natasha Bedingfield commented.
