Jessie J took to Instagram to share her experience with grief after losing her pregnancy nine months ago. 

She opened up in her post about wanting to be a mother at 16, "[first] thing on the list was to be a Mum."

"Now I'm nearly 35, and some days the grief of losing a baby and it not being easy to have one, and wanting my life in that way to look completely different to what it looks like right now just overwhelms me." 

The British singer reflected on her emotions and how she has been coping with them. 

"I know it's healthy and normal to have days of complete sadness and to honor all the feelings that come up, good and bad," she wrote. "The bad isn't often at all, and yes, I could go through this moment right now today alone in private and usually do, but today I am here."

And in true Jessie J fashion, she sent love to her fans, "Because I know thousands of people around the [world] feel just like I do. Maybe you read this and feel the love I have for you. I hope you can. Connecting is key. Hugging you all."

Heartbreaking News

In November 2021, the "Dominos" singer shared the devastating news that she had suffered a miscarriage a few months after announcing her split with Max Pham after seven months together.

The 34-year-old announced it through Instagram and added that it happened before her gig in Los Angeles. 

After going for her third scan, she discovered that there was no longer a heartbeat but decided to push through with her performance. 

"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'," she wrote in the caption. 

"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," she added. 

"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 its best."

As of this writing, the said Instagram post is no longer on her profile. 

Not The End Of The Road

In an interview with Michelle Visage, resident judge at "RuPaul's Drag Race," she shared that she still hopes to become a mother, "Whichever way it happens -naturally, surrogate, IVF, adopted, whatever. I'm open. I just have such maternal energy."

"That is the experience of a lifetime for me [...] I know that it will happen for me one day," she said.
