Jessie J reveals she’s pregnant after miscarriage heartache and shares sweet video of her baby bump
JESSIE J has revealed she is pregnant a year after her devastating miscarriage.
The pop star announced the happy news on Instagram this evening in a sweet video featuring her baby bump.
She wrote: “I am so happy and terrified to finally share this…
“Please be gentle with me Honestly, ya girl just wants to ugly cry in public in a catsuit eating a chocolate covered pickle with no questions asked .”
Fans were delighted for her and flooded her with well wishes.
In November 2021 Jessie tragically revealed she’d suffered a miscarriage.
She shared a photo of herself holding up a positive pregnancy test as well as an emotional quote.
In the lengthy caption, she bravely explained how she’d been nervous about keeping her pregnancy a secret during a Los Angeles concert.
Tragically, just hours later doctors told her that they could not find her baby’s heartbeat.
The singer wrote: “ Yesterday morning I was laughing with a friend saying ‘seriously though how am I going to get through my gig in LA tomorrow night without telling the whole audience I am pregnant’.
“By yesterday afternoon I was dreading the thought of getting through the gig without breaking down… After going for my 3rd scan and being told there was no longer a heartbeat.
“This morning. I feel like I have no control of my emotions. I may regret posting this. I may not. I actually don’t know. What I do know is that I want to sing tonight. Not because I’m avoiding the grief or the process, but because I know singing tonight will help me.”
Jessie went on to explain her reason for wanting to go ahead with the concert, sharing: “I have done two shows in two years and my soul needs it. Even more today. I know some people will be thinking she should just cancel it. But in this moment I have clarity on one thing. I started singing when I was young for joy, to fill my soul and self love therapy, that hasn’t ever changed and I have to process this my way.
“I want to be honest and true and not hide what I’m feeling. I deserve that. I want to be as myself as I can be in this moment. Not just for the audience but for myself and my little baby that did it’s best. I know myself and I know I would talk about it on stage because that’s who I am. So instead of a tearful emotional speech trying to explain my energy. This feels safer.”
The star, who split from ex-boyfriend Max in October 2021 and previously dated Channing Tatum, added: “I decided to have a baby on my own. Because it’s all I’ve ever wanted and life is short. To get pregnant was a miracle in itself and an experience I will never forget and I know I will have again.
“I’m still in shock, the sadness is overwhelming. But I know I am strong, and I know I will be ok. I also know millions of women all over the world have felt this pain and way worse. I feel connected to those of you I know and those of you I don’t.
“It’s the loneliest feeling in the world. So I will see you tonight LA. I may crack less jokes but my heart will be in the room.”
