Jessie J announces exciting baby news after she suffered a miscarriage over a year ago

Jessie J has announced that she is pregnant.

The 34-year-old pop star took to social media to reveal that she is expecting a baby and is "happy" but "terrified" to share the news.

Alongside a video showcasing the positive pregnancy test and a follow-up scan set to her song Sunflower, she wrote on Instagram: "I am so happy and terrified to finally share this … Please be gentle with me. Honestly, ya girl just wants to ugly cry in public in a catsuit eating a chocolate-covered pickle with no questions asked."(sic)

The Price Tag songstress was inundated with comments from fellow famous faces on her post, with pop star Pixie Lott writing: "Omg jesssssie supermama of the century", while former Destiny's Child singer Kelly Rowland wrote: "AHHHHHHHHH SCREAMING CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU!!" and Paloma Faith said: "Best news ever."

The happy news for the Domino hitmaker - who has not yet made confirmed her relationship status publicly but was thought to be dating basketball star Chanan Colman in 2022  - comes just over a year after she revealed online that she had lost a baby in 2021 shortly before a gig in Los Angeles, choosing to share the news because she felt so alone.

She said: "I posted it because I didn't have anyone to break on ...  I didn't have anyone to fall apart on, and that's what I needed, that's what I wanted.

"I was by myself, I had no one advising me, my mum and my sister weren’t there to go, 'No, don’t share this with the world, make it real for you first'.

"The hardest part for me wasn’t doing the show, the show was actually kind of a weird trippy dream, and I was actually grateful that I wasn’t by myself, and loads of people that I loved turned up."
