Singer Jessie J has revealed her beautiful baby boy’s unique name, a month after his birth.
She’s also shared intimate birth footage and video of the first few weeks with her son, who is named Sky Safir Cornish Colman.
Jessie has also opened up about the birth of her first child, which ended up nothing like the ‘natural’ birth she says she prepared for.
The new mum, who has also revealed she met the father of her baby boy just weeks after her 2021 miscarriage, says she had done everything to prepare for a ‘natural’ birth, and ended up giving birth via c-section.
“I spent 9 months prepping for a natural birth,” she wrote on an Instagram post. “Strict food, the epi no, yoga, swimming, hypnobirthing methods. I had a tens machine, a birthing comb, I wanted a pool birth ideally with no medication. BUT this was MY plan to stay disciplined and focused. I knew full well it could and would most likely go in a completely different direction.
“When people asked me “So what’s your birth plan” I said “I am open to surrendering to the safest way for my baby boy to arrive.”
“I had a scan at a few days off of 40 weeks and he was completely the wrong way around and stuck as he was a little chunkier than your average and long. I did everything to try and turn him for 2 months but he said
“Nah mum I wanna make an entrance out the roof, not the front door”.
“I was advised to have a planned C section for the safest birth. This video was taken 5 minutes before I went down to surgery. I went into active labour the night before and feeling all the feels but mostly just excitement for us to meet our baby boy.
“I guess I’m sharing this because so many people have said “Do you feel like you missed out on the birth you wanted?” I had a birth and it was everything I wanted because I got him at the end of it, that’s all that matters.”
She also followed up with an Instagram story in support of anyone who has felt any less for having a c-section.
“I don’t think I realised the impact my post would have on so many women who have felt ashamed or guilt from a c-section. It is a birth. Politely f*** anyone who makes you feel anything different. You had a BELLY BIRTH. Whether it was by choice or not you did or had to do what was right for your baby and for you to be healthy and arrive safely.”
The 35-year-old recently took to Instagram to share the news of her baby’s birth.
“My son entered this world and my heart grew twice the size. The feeling is indescribable,” she wrote. “I am flying in love. He is magic. He is all of my dreams come true. He is my whole world. I am soaking up every second and still can’t believe he is real, here, and mine.”
Jessie says they are both doing ‘great’ and that she’ll be back on social media when she’s ready. It’s been a difficult road to motherhood for the singer, who shared she’d suffered a miscarriage, a year before falling pregnant with her son.
The 35-year-old took to Instagram in January to share her joy, saying, “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.”
She also shared a video with belly bump photos and footage, detailing her pregnancy journey.
While the pop star has kept her love life private, she did go public with her basketball player partner Chanan Colman in May last year, and in a recent Instagram story revealed he is the father of her baby.
“I struggle to keep things private. I think if you know me, you know that. Lol. I want to protect people I love and keep it for just myself … And then I often think, f**k it because life is short, but I don’t want to regret it. Once you open, the door can’t close it,” she shared.
“But … I met this man weeks after my miscarriage in 2021, like a beam of light. He lit up my dark days. It was a whirlwind of love and a miracle that we fell pregnant naturally with not one issue. Grateful doesn’t cut it. He has given me many of the best gifts of my life. He didn’t let go of my hand this day, and I wouldn’t be able to go through it without him. The calm to my crazy. The peace to my fear. The Daddy to my baby. Thank you.”
Baby Joy After Heartbreak
In November 2021, Jessie revealed she had suffered a miscarriage, after making the decision to have a baby on her own. The talented performer detailed her heartbreak in a raw Instagram post, explaining that she had decided not to cancel her live show in LA.
“Yesterday morning I was laughing with a friend saying, ‘seriously though how am I going to get through my gig in LA tomorrow night without telling the whole audience I am pregnant,’ Jessie wrote. “By yesterday afternoon I was dreading the thought of getting through the gig without breaking down. After going for my 3rd scan and being told there was no longer a heartbeat.
“This morning. I feel like I have no control of my emotions. I may regret posting this. I may not. I actually don’t know. What I do know is that I want to sing tonight. Not because Im avoiding the grief or the process, but because I know singing tonight will help me.”
The former The Voice Australia coach said performing is a form of therapy for her, and helped her process the news. “I have done 2 shows in 2 years and my soul needs it. Even more today. I know some people will be thinking she should just cancel it. But in this moment I have clarity on one thing. I started singing when I was young for joy, to fill my soul and self love therapy, that hasn’t ever changed and I have to process this my way.
“I want to be honest and true and not hide what I’m feeling. I deserve that. I want to be as myself as I can be in this moment. Not just for the audience but for myself and my little baby that did it’s best. I know myself and I know I would talk about it on stage because that’s who I am. So instead of a tearful emotional speech trying to explain my energy. This feels safer.”
At the time, Jessie also explained her choice to have a baby on her own.
“I decided to have a baby on my own. Because it’s all I’ve ever wanted and life is short. To get pregnant was a miracle in itself and an experience I will never forget and I know I will have again.
“Im still in shock, the sadness is overwhelming. But I know I am strong, and I know I will be ok. I also know millions of women all over the world have felt this pain and way worse. I feel connected to those of you I know and those of you I don’t.
“It’s the loneliest feeling in the world.
“So I will see you tonight LA. I may crack less jokes but my heart will be in the room.”
