The singer also wrote that time has helped her heal, and she "can tell the story now without crying." However, Jesse seemed doubtful that the pain from her miscarriage would ever "truly fade" from her heart.
The "Flashlight" singer's last relationship was with actor Channing Tatum, and it was a tumultuous one that lasted about two years. In 2022 photos, Jesse was spotted cuddling up with Danish-Israeli professional basketballer Chanan Safir Colman. It's been rumored that they are now dating.

In August 2022, Jessie opened up about her grief and said she's always wanted to be a mother. In the lengthy caption, the singer wrote, "When I was 16 years old, I wrote a list of things I wanted by the time I was 30."
She added, "Now I'm nearly 35, and some days the grief of losing a baby and not being easy to have one, and wanting my life in that way to look completely different to what it looks like right now just overwhelms me."
Jesse also shared a motivational message, saying she wants her struggles to help others in similar situations. She said, "The bad isn't often at all, and yes, I could go through this moment today alone in private and usually do, but today I am here. Because I know thousands of people around the [world] feel just like I do."
