In her announcement, Jessie shared that the couple had made the decision to end their romantic relationship some time ago, describing the situation as both “sad and difficult”. Despite their split, the couple has focused on maintaining a positive environment for their child, stating their dedication to navigating this new chapter with respect and love for one another.
“We will always continue supporting each other with love, respect and care as friends, and most importantly, as Sky’s Mum and Dad,” Jessie wrote. She also noted that should fans spot them together, it is simply a reflection of their commitment to raising their son together while nurturing their friendship.
Jessie J and Colman began their romantic journey in 2021, culminating in the birth of their son, Sky, in May 2023. Prior to their split, Jessie had been vocal about the joy motherhood brought her, particularly after experiencing a challenging pregnancy loss in 2021. In a May 2025 interview with PEOPLE, she referred to the arrival of Sky as a “happy ending” to a testing period in her life.
The singer has praised Colman extensively for his parenting style, stating that he has exceeded her expectations and been remarkably present throughout their relationship. “He is so willing to adapt around my career,” Jessie remarked, acknowledging his support and involvement in parenting.
During the same interview, Jessie expressed her views on marriage, explaining that she and Colman were “not in a rush” to tie the knot. She explained her desire for a wedding celebration to include Sky when he is old enough to recognise and cherish the moment—reflecting her commitment to family and love. “Having a child makes us feel pretty locked in with each other already,” Jessie added.
In addition to her family news, Jessie recently shared a major personal milestone, announcing that she is now cancer-free after her battle with breast cancer diagnosed in June 2025. This victory was celebrated by her followers, alongside the release of her latest album, “Don’t Tease Me with a Good Time”, which debuted in November 2025.
The couple’s journey together has been one of resilience, particularly in light of their shared experiences, and jets like their commitment to co-parenting seem to remain resolute despite personal changes. The supportive environment they intend to foster for Sky is indeed a testament to their maturity and dedication, highlighting that love can take many forms, especially in the face of change.
As Jessie J and Chanan Safir Colman transition into this new chapter, fans will no doubt continue to cheer them on as they navigate co-parenting, showing that a family bond can be maintained even when romantic relationships shift.
