Jessie J took to Instagram to share an emotional tribute to her boyfriend Chanan Colman for supporting her during the birth of her son and telling her fans and followers, “I wouldn’t have been able to go through it without him.”
On Instagram Stories, the singer posted a behind-the-scenes photo from her birth – just days after sharing a post about how she had a planned C-section for medical reasons despite hoping for a “natural birth” – which also showed Chanan by her side during surgery.
“Here’s a little series I call ‘rub on ya titties’,” the singer said.
On Stories Jessie J wrote: "I struggle to keep things private. I think if you know me you know that. Lol," she wrote alongside the photo. "I want [to] protect people I love and keep it for just myself… And then so often I think fuck it because life is short but don’t want to regret it. Once you open the door you can’t close it. Bla Bla Bla… And so on and so on…"
Jessie continued, referencing her tragic miscarriage two years ago: “But… I met this man, weeks after my miscarriage in 2021. Like a beam of light. He lit up my dark days. It was a whirlwind love and a miracle that we fell pregnant naturally with not one issue during.”
She continued, "Grateful doesn’t cut it. He has given me many of the best gifts of my life."
Speaking about the birth, Jessie said: "He [Chanan] didn’t let go of my hand this day and I wouldn’t have been able to go through it without him. The calm to my crazy. The peace to my fear. The daddy to my baby. Thank you."
The singer revealed last week that her natural birth plan took a “completely different direction” when her son “was completely the wrong way around and stuck as he was a little chunkier than your average and long. I did everything to try and turn him for 2 months but he said “Nah mum I wanna make an entrance out the roof, not the front door.”

She added: "I was advised to have a planned C section for the safest birth. This video was taken 5 minutes before I went down to surgery. I went into active labour the night before and feeling all the feels but mostly just excitement for us to meet our baby boy.
"I guess I’m sharing this because so many people have said “Do you feel like you missed out on the birth you wanted?”
“I had a birth and it was everything I wanted because I got him at the end of it, that’s all that matters.”
Hear, hear! Congrats to Jessie J and Chanan Colman.
