Jessie J Provides Honest Health Update After Undergoing Surgery

British singer-songwriter Jessie J, 37, has spoken candidly about her experience with breast cancer, offering a heartfelt update just weeks after publicly sharing her diagnosis in early June. Renowned for her powerhouse voice and genuine openness, Jessie — whose full name is Jessica Ellen Cornish — invited fans into the personal realities of her healing journey, offering an unfiltered look at both the challenges and moments of strength.

“THIS IS WHAT REAL LIFE LOOKS LIKE”: JESSIE J OPENS UP ABOUT HER CANCER RECOVERY

Taking to Instagram, Jessie posted a series of photos and videos from her hospital bed, including tender moments with her partner, professional basketball player Chanan Colman, and their infant son. She added a heartfelt trigger warning to her post, writing:

“‼️Blood warning‼️ This post is some of the honest lows and highs of the last 48 hours.”

Always known for being transparent with her fans, Jessie continued:

“I will always show the good and hard bits of any journey I go through. Grateful to my doctor/surgeon and all the nurses who cared for me, and all my family/friends who came to visit.”

BACK HOME AND STAYING POSITIVE

Now back home, Jessie tried to keep her spirits up — even injecting humor into the situation:

“I am home now, to rest and wait for my results 🤞🏻 Chanan is in a nurse outfit. No no, he isn’t, but funny to imagine.”

She ended her post with a message of solidarity:

“Still hugging everyone going through something tough right now. We all got this!”

THE VIDEOS THAT TOUCHED THE WORLD

Her post included several emotional video clips:

• One showed Jessie in the hospital for over six and a half hours before surgery.

• Another featured a touching moment where Chanan kissed her head and held her hand post-operation.

• In a vulnerable scene, Jessie tearfully whispered, “I love you,” while wincing in pain — a raw look at post-surgery emotion.

• She lightened the mood in one clip by joking about her drainage tubes, calling the blood “a goji berry smoothie.”

• Perhaps the most moving moment came as Jessie tried to explain the drainage tubes to her son — her voice soft, gentle, and filled with love.

Another video captured her watching her own performance at the Capital Summertime Ball, from her hospital bed — a reminder of the strength behind her stage persona. The clip included her powerful on-stage message from June 15:

“Today, this show is my last show before I go and beat breast cancer.”
