Jessie J hits back at speculation that she's pregnant as she tells fans 'I have a belly and wore a skin tight catsuit on the last day of my period'

Jessie J has addressed speculation from fans that she is expecting her second child, insisting 'women can have bellies and not be pregnant'. 

The singer, 37, said she has received a flurry of messages and comments after performing in a lace catsuit during her No Secrets tour in Las Vegas last week.

Jessie, who was diagnosed with breast cancer last year, welcomed her son Sky, two, in May 2023 with her basketball player boyfriend Chanan Colman.

Taking to Instagram on Sunday Jessie set the record straight, writing: 'The amount of people messaging/ commenting, asking me if I'm pregnant. No. I am not.'

'I just have a little belly since Sky, BUT I also decided to wear a skin tight catsuit on the last day of my period/ovalutation bloatation day.'

She ended her statement by pointing out 'women can have bellies and NOT be pregnant. What an insane thought. It's mad right?' 

Jessie announced her pregnancy with Sky 13 months after revealing she had suffered a heartbreaking miscarriage.

The singer has been open about her fertility struggles over the years, and a year after giving birth explained how she was still 'a big advocate for infertility and child loss.'

'I always say this, pregnancy, birth, I never thought it would come to me, I was a big advocate and still am for infertility and child loss,' she said. 

'For years and years and years, that's what I spoke about and now I'm on the other side I feel a huge sense of guilt in some way because I know so many women and men are struggling.'

'So when you do have a baby, you have to understand it's the most relatable and conversational thing you can talk about with someone but also the most unique experience and you have to understand that it's your experience and it's not the same as someone else's.

'You're allowed to be sad, you're allowed to be OK, you're allowed to want to go back to work two weeks, six months, two years later, whatever it is that works for you, it really is such a personal experience.'

Jessie admitted she's experienced 'savage' criticism from fellow mothers and urged new parents to give themselves 'grace' to recover and look after themselves.

She said: 'Honestly, I've never experienced such savage people as mums. They're the most judgemental, they can be so savage.

'You just have to give yourself grace, like you've just grown a whole human inside your body and birthed it outside of your body....

'I think that would be my advice, just to give yourself grace, be patient, and to understand you gave birth to a whole other person. You can only do it your way.'

Last month, Jessie opened up about a surprise career change as she revealed her plans to try out as a comedian and actress next year.

The musician appeared on the Women's Health UK Just As Well podcast where she detailed her hopes for the next year as well as how having a child caused her to address her ADHD.

Revealing her hopes of branching out into comedy, Jessie said: 'Next year I'd love to go into stand up. I would love to do comedy more. I'd love to do film.'

Jessie has previously acted in musical theatre and voice roles, starting from childhood in productions like Andrew Lloyd Webber's Whistle Down the Wind.

She later worked on films like Ice Age: Collision Course as a voice actor, showcasing her background as a trained performer.

Jessie - whose real name is Jessica Cornish - insisted she won't be straying too far from her musical routes and will also be working on new music and heading on tour.

She said: 'I'm obviously touring a lot next year. I definitely want to make more music. I haven't written a song for three years, but I know it's all there ready to come out.

'I just want to be happy. Happy, sane, enjoying what I do, calm, healthy, being as present as a mum as I am as at work with some decent tunes out.

'And maybe doing something that challenges me, whether it's a book or a children's album or comedy or Broadway or film, whatever's going to come will come.'
