English singer Jessica Cornish, known as Jessie J, announced Friday the birth of her first child, after suffering a miscarriage in 2021.

“A week ago, my whole life changed. My son entered this world, and my heart grew twice the size,” the “Price Tag” singer, 35, gushed via Instagram Stories. 

“The feeling is indescribable. I am flying in love. He is magic. He is all my dreams come true. He is my whole [world]. He and I are both doing great. I am soaking up every second and still can’t believe he is real, here, and mine. I am so grateful. Phew.”

Jessie, whose real name is Jessica Ellen Cornish, shared her pregnancy news in January.

“I am so happy and terrified to finally share this,” she wrote at the time, asking social media users to “please be gentle with” her.

“Honestly, ya girl just wants to ugly cry in public in a catsuit eating a chocolate-covered pickle with no questions asked,” she concluded.

Jessie’s reveal video featured a positive pregnancy test, ultrasound appointment footage, and baby bump selfies.

The pop star also shared that she “decided to have a baby on my own.”

The announcement came two months after she reflected on the loss of her “angel” baby.

“A year ago today I was told my baby no longer had a heartbeat,” she wrote on her Story in November 2021. 

“Although I can tell the story now without crying, have and still am discovering all the positives that experience gave me.”

Jessie noted that while “time helps” the pain of the miscarriage had yet to truly fade.

In November 2020, the pop star first opened up about her pregnancy loss and shared that she wanted to start a family “on [her] own.”

Jessie last dated Channing Tatum on and off from 2018 to 2020, and moved on with MLB player Chanan Colman in 2022.
