Jessie J Was Diagnosed With “Early Breast Cancer” — A Look at Her Health Struggles

Singer Jessie J, known for her songs "Price Tag," "Do It Like A Dude," and "Who You Are," has taken fans along as her life changed in the public eye. The UK native shared limited details of her high-profile relationship with Channing Tatum, which lasted from 2018-2020, and felt more comfortable discussing her life as a mom after giving birth to her and her boyfriend Chanan Safir Colman's first child, Sky Safir, in May 2023.

In addition to her personal highs, Jessie has also used social media to discuss her struggles during challenging moments. She took to social media to open up about a devastating diagnosis that affected her career.

Here's what Jessie J said about her health.

In June 2025, Jessie posted an Instagram video where she revealed she was diagnosed with "early breast cancer." The songstress, full name Jessica Cornish, said she discovered her prognosis after her song, "No Secrets," debuted in late April 2025, and decided to keep it to herself. Jessie said finding out her diagnosis early made her feel comfortable enough to share with her fans.

"I'm highlighting the word early," she reiterated in the video. "Cancer sucks in any form, but I’m holding onto the word 'early.' I have been in and out of tests throughout this whole period."

“I just wanted to be open and share it,” Jessie added. “One, because, selfishly, I do not talk about it enough. I’m not processing it because I’m working so hard. I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me with other people, giving me their love and support, and also their own stories.”

While Jessie made her fans aware of the seriousness of her being diagnosed with breast cancer, she also added some levity to the news by noting the irony in her getting the diagnosis and putting out "No Secrets" and "Living My Best Life," stating "I mean, you can’t make it up." She also joked about the situation in the caption of her Instagram post.

"No (more) Secrets, and is it too soon to do a remix called ‘Living my breast life?'" Jessie joked. "All jokes aside (You know it’s one of the ways I get through hard times), this last two months have been so amazing, and having this go on alongside it on the sidelines has given me the most incredible perspective. BUT… Your girl needs a hug."

The "Domino" singer added that, while she said in her video that her diagnosis gave her an excuse to have "massive t--s," she wouldn't be getting them during her reconstruction surgery.

"Also not getting massive t--s," Jessie confirmed. "Or am I? No no… I must stop joking."

Jessie also battled hearing loss in 2018 while working on her album, R.O.S.E., and again in 2020 when she was diagnosed with Ménière's disease after being treated at the hospital that Christmas Eve. Additionally, the singer suffered a miscarriage in 2021 before giving birth to her son two years later.
