Jessie J has revealed that she will be a mum just days after opening up about her very personal struggles with infertility and telling fans that she is not able to have children.
The singer, who is dating Channing Tatum, took to her Instagram stories to share the announcement.
“After explaining the meaning of my song ‘Four Letter Word’ on stage during this tour. The love and support I have received has been overwhelming. Thank you,” she wrote over the weekend.
“I was told 4 years ago I won’t be able to have children. I was also told I would need a hysterectomy immediately and to be put on medication. I refused the hysterectomy I’m off all medication through natural medicine and diet change.”
“I am doing all I can to make it happen the best way my body will allow … I will be a mother … I believe in miracles. But if it doesn’t happen naturally. Then that wasn’t meant to be the journey. But a mother is within all of us. That inspires everyday. We are strong. Time will tell.”
Jessie J first shared the news of her infertility during a concert last week where her boyfriend, Channing, was in the crowd.
Before singing her hit song, “Four Letter Word,” (which has lyrics about wanting to be a mother), Jessie spoke to the crowd, saying, “I don’t tell you guys for sympathy because I’m one of millions of women and men that have gone through this and will go through this.”
“It can’t be something that defines us but I wanted to write this song for myself in my moment of pain and sadness but also to give myself joy, to give other people something that they can listen to in that moment when it gets really hard,” she continued.
“So if you’ve ever experienced anything with this or have seen somebody else go through it or have lost a child, then please know you’re not alone in your pain and I’m thinking of you when I sing this song.”
