Jessie J is stepping back from social media to “recharge” and undergo her “second cancer reconstruction surgery”.
The 38-year-old pop star noted that over the past two years, she has experienced everything from “being diagnosed and beating breast cancer” and “going through a breakup” to raising her three-year-old son Sky, and bringing out her first album in almost a decade.
In an emotional Instagram post on Monday (07.09.26), she wrote: “I want to start this post off by saying I am ok. I am not at my best but very far from my worst. I know people can twist these kinds of posts.
“It’s no secret that the last 2 years have been magical, successful, life changing and extremely busy.
“I have loved the last 2 years mostly, hated it in moments and learnt the most I have ever learnt about myself and what I want from my life and mostly what I want it to FEEL like.
“To name a few things that have happened in the last 2 years…
“1. Put out an album for the first time in 8 years
“2. Moved country (US to [UK])
“3. Being diagnosed and beating breast cancer
“4. Touring the world
“5. Going through a breakup
“6. Raising a toddler
“7. Doing my own socials, styling, hair + makeup everyday.”
She pointed out that the past 24 months has “taken a toll” on her, noting “it wouldn’t be weird if it hadn’t”, but she simply hasn’t “had time to give space and grace” to the parts of her that need it.
The Price Tag hitmaker, who split from Sky’s father Chanan Safir after five years together, continued: “Now’s the time. Work has slowed down. So healing speeds up please.
“So I’m tapping out of this [online world] for a while and into my real one. To give my mind, body and heart a well needed hug.
“To finally have my second cancer reconstruction surgery, to recharge, heal, to rest, to process, to love on myself and my boy, to water the next chapter of my life and most importantly be present and really live.
“I never feel I can really give that side the energy and time it deserves when it’s needed while staying on socials and my phone so much.”
Jessie explained that a “digital cleanse” is necessary, and she wanted to let her fans know what is going on.
She added: “I’m posting this for the people who would give af that I haven’t posted or been active for a while. The people who have followed, supported, loved and cared on me and for me during this journey.
“Thank you for holding me up. So go easy in the comments serious Sallys.
“Might pop on every now and again for work commitments (which sometimes will be my team) but other than that. See you when feels right. Love you all.”
