In May 2023, British pop star Jessie J and her partner Chanan Safir Colman welcomed their baby boy into the world. While the “Price Tag” songstress has typically endeavoured to keep her personal life under wraps, that changed after the arrival of her son, Sky. Not long after the birth, the singer shared a Instagram Story from the delivery room with a poignant message of gratitude for her partner.
“I struggle to keep things private,” her caption read. “I think if you know me, you know that. I want to protect people I love and keep it for myself. And then so often I think, f*** it because life is short, and don’t want to regret it. Once you open the door, you can’t close it.” Jessie J also described Colman as a “beam of light” and “the calm to my crazy”.
