Jessie J has revealed she has split from her partner of five years, Danish-Israeli basketball player, Chanan Safir Colman, three years after welcoming their son Sky.
The singer, 38, confirmed the sad news on Instagram on Monday, revealing she and Chanan ended their romance ‘some time ago.’
Sharing a picture of them with their son, three, on Instagram, Jessie wrote: ‘Chanan and I decided to end our romantic relationship some time ago.
‘It has been a sad and difficult situation, but we have been focused on navigating the change privately and positively for a healthy and happy co parenting environment for our son, and ourselves.
‘Unfortunately being in the public eye this is the easiest way to let people know the truth, before rumours circulate or a false narrative is written.’
Jessie J revealed she has split from boyfriend Chanan Colman on Instagram on Monday – after saying she ‘was not fussed about getting married’
She shared this caption alongside a sweet picture of her family, admitting that she and Chanan had actually broken up ‘some time ago’
Jessie and boyfriend Chanan welcomed their son in May 2023 and first started dating in 2021
She continued: ‘We will always continue supporting each other with love, respect and care as friends and most importantly being Skys Mum and Dad, so if you see us out and about together as a family, or posting each other on socials every now and again. That’s exactly what we are doing.
‘Raising and loving Sky together, supported with a positive friendship.’
Back in May, Jessie revealed that marriage was not something she was too focused on.
The Price Tag hitmaker had said the couple would do it in their own time, and although she expected they would wed ‘one day’, it’s not something particularly important for them to do right now.
‘We talk about it all the time, and we laugh about it all the time, and I’m sure we will, but we’re not in any rush,’ Jessie told People magazine.
She continued: ‘I’ve always said that I’m not too fussed about getting married, and some people get really funny about that, but it’s my own preference.’
Jessie finds marriage ‘quite contractual’ but she is keen for them to affirm their love for one another.

The pop star would prefer to do a ceremony of love and just have friends and family in attendance.
‘But I’m not in any rush,’ she added. ‘I know he loves me. He knows I love him. We’re good. ‘He has exceeded my expectations as a father beyond my imagination. I’m so grateful that he is so present and just so willing to adapt around obviously my career.’
Jessie also said: ‘I would love to get married when Sky’s old enough to know what’s happening so that he can be really a part of it and enjoy that moment of seeing Mummy and Daddy come together in our love.
‘We have a child. I feel like that is the most locked in that we can feel with each other.’
That same month, in May, Jessie revealed the happy news that she was thankfully cancer free, a year after her official diganosis.
She shared at the time: ‘Results are in and I am cancer-free!” followed by 10 crying emojis.
She added: ‘I sobbed for hours and then exhaled for the first time in a year.’
In June last year the Price Tag singer revealed her diagnosis on social media, and had surgery later that month.
Chanan had been by Jessie’s side throughout her breast cancer journey.
Two months later, in August, she rearranged and cancelled upcoming tour dates after revealing she needed to undergo further cancer treatment.
Jessie J said she decided to go public about her cancer in order to help process her diagnosis, and show solidarity with others going through a similar ordeal and said the diagnosis had given her ‘incredible perspective’.
Before Chanan, Jessie’s most famous relationship to date, was with Hollywood actor Channing Tatum, with the pair dating following Channing’s split from wife Jenna Dewan in 2018.
Going public in October 2018, Channing and Jessie endured an on-off relationship for around two years, before splitting for good in October 2020.
In March 2025, Chanan wrote that watching Jessie become a mother has been the ‘single most poetic thing I’ve ever witnessed’
Jessie has dated American singer Luke James. They broke up after 11 months in November 2014.
In 2021, Jessie split from her boyfriend Max Pham after seven months of dating.
Chanan had appeared to be Jessie’s perfect match.
In March 2025, he wrote that watching Jessie become a mother has been the ‘single most poetic thing I’ve ever witnessed.’
He said: ‘Watching you become a mother – not just creating life, but nurturing, teaching, loving, and injecting our little human with so much personality, humour, and wisdom – has been the single most poetic thing I’ve ever witnessed in real life.
‘Thank you for loving on our son the way you do and thank you for you [heart emoji].’
He signed off the post with: ‘Happy Mother’s Day, baby.’
It comes after the singer recently had to hit back at pregnancy rumours after she shared a cryptic Instagram post with her hand on her stomach.
She shared a photo dump with her 13.8 million followers on Monday, which included a mirror selfie where was dressed in all black.
She had her right hand on her stomach which led fans to guess she could be pregnant, taking to the comments to write: ‘I thought there was another baby on the way.’
Others chimed in with: ‘That’s exactly why I thought the same thing,’ ‘That’s what I thought, is there?’ and ‘I thought so as well. But only because you have your band on your belly like women do when they hold their bump.’
Meanwhile, another fan wrote: ‘First pic…. Don’t you ever do this to me again, I was in tears thinking about baby 2.’
After the first comment racked up more than 200 likes, Jessie was forced to clarify, as she joked that the only thing on the way was new music.
She responded to the top comment with: ‘only my,’ alongside a record emoji.
