Who is Jessie J's partner? Everything you need to know
Jessie J has hit headlines after she bravely went public to announce she has been diagnosed with breast cancer.
The singer took to her Instagram page to share the devastating news, telling fans the cancer is still in its early stages and confirming she will undergo surgery in the near future.
The Price Tag singer said she plans on undergoing the surgery following her performance at this month's Summertime Ball at Wembley Stadium and joked it was a 'dramatic way' to get a boob job as she attempted to put on a brave face.
Jessie J is a mum and in a long term relationship with boyfriend Chanan Safir Colman, who is understood to be supporting her through this time.
Here is all we know about him:
Born in Denmark, Colman is a now retired former professional basketball player from the Israel Basketball Premier League.
He was born in 1984 in Gladsaxe, Denmark to an Israeli mother and an American father and grew up there.
In his career he last played for Hapoel Haifa of the Israel Basketball Premier League and before this, played college basketball for Chipola College in Marianna, Florida, before going on to play for professional leagues in Finland, Denmark and now Israel.
He is close to his family and regularly posts on his own social media channels about them.
In September 2022, he shared a photo of his mum on her birthday and wrote: 'You are by far the strongest, most caring, loving and forgiving human being I know.'
Jessie J first went public with her boyfriend Chanan Safir Colman in 2023, but it is believed they were together a while before this date, around 2021 - first meeting just weeks after Jessie J first experienced a miscarriage.
She spoke about her love for Colman after the pair welcomed their first child Sky together May 2023, calling him 'the calm to my crazy,' 'the peace to my fear' and, finally, 'the Daddy to my baby.'
She shared a snap of the pair on her socials and wrote: 'I struggle to keep things private. I think if you know me, you know that. I want to protect people I love and keep it for myself.'
Sky is now two years old.
She continued, '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."
She referred to her partner as a 'beam of light' that 'lit up my dark days,' adding that their relationship has been 'a whirlwind love.'
The birth announcement came after Jessie J experienced the miscarriage in November 2021.
'For all of you that have followed my journey to this moment, thank you for all your continued love and support,' she wrote following the birth of her son.
Before finding Colman, Jessie J was in a long term relationship with Hollywood actor Channing Tatum.
She dated the Magic Mike star on and off for around two years, with the pair first linked in October 2018.
They were seen together loved up, but split in December 2019 before getting back together in 2020, but broke up later on.
Before Channing, Jessie J was with fellow singer and R&B star Luke James, with the pair dating from November 2014 to October 2015.
They reportedly met through friends in the music industry and were seen together on numerous occasions during their relationship but kept their love out of the limelight.

Social media users react to Musk-Trump feud
President Donald Trump and Elon Musk's war of words has left Washington analyzing how quickly their once close relationship deteriorated and the implications. But social media users around the world took out their popcorn, flocked to their devices, and chimed in as the feud played out on social media. From Musk and Trump's supporters cheering each of them on, with others telling them to cool things off, to memes from other internet users relishing in the back and forth, platforms like X, Truth Social, and BlueSky have allowed the public to watch it all unfold and weigh in in real time. "They see this as a catfight," Jennifer Grygiel, an associate professor of communications at Syracuse University, told ABC News. "The one reason people are tuning in is because we are watching mutual destruction." MORE: Trump tells ABC Musk 'lost his mind'; 'not particularly' interested in talking to him Grygiel noted that while some of the social media engagement might be all fun and games, it does speak to a larger issue about the public's dissatisfaction with the current state of politics and civic engagement. More important, the professor pointed out, it does distract from the bigger political issues and debates going on. As soon as Musk's and Trump's posts dropped Thursday afternoon, social media users started to post themselves. "This is like Drake and Kendrick Lamar but they're both Drake," Anna Hughes, a Canadian Ocean conservation researcher in a viral BlueSky post. One famous support of both Trump and Musk urged them to stop. "Broooos please noooooo 🫂 We love you both so much," rapper Ye posted on X. Others started making memes, some of which used AI-generated images, of Trump and Musk fighting or appearing as a couple breaking up. "LET ME HOST THE REUNION!" late night talk show host Andy Cohen posted on X. On the serious side, Republicans on the Hill, including House Speaker Mike Johnson and Vice President JD Vance, put out statements on X defending the president and the spending bill. "There are many lies the corporate media tells about President Trump. One of the most glaring is that he's impulsive or short-tempered. Anyone who has seen him operate under pressure knows that's ridiculous," Vance posted. Conservative commentator Jack Posobiec claimed in an X post that the pair's back-and-forth was blown out of proportion. "Some of y'all cant handle 2 high agency males going at it and it really shows," he said. Some Democrats took to social media to gloat. MORE: Trump Musk feud explodes with claim president is in Epstein files "Siri, play 'Bad Blood,'" Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer posted on BlueSky Thursday evening, referencing the Taylor Swift song about a relationship on the rocks. The online peanut gallery wasn't limited to American spectators. Dmitri Medvedev, the former Russian president and Russian prime minister, took to X early Friday morning with a georpolitical dose of sarcasm. "We are ready to facilitate the conclusion of a peace deal between D and E for a reasonable fee and to accept Starlink shares as payment. Don't fight, guys," he said. Grygiel said Trump and Musk knew they would stir up their political bases and the general public by taking their quarrels to their respective social media platforms, likening it to how media tycoons owners used the magazines and newspaper they owned at the turn of the 20th century. "It's almost like all of these social media platforms are sports teams, with their own personalities," they said. "If anything both men obviously know the importance of tweaking public opinion." Grant Reeher, professor of political science at Syracuse University, told ABC News that Musk and Trump's use of social media has encouraged this political engagement for years. "I think it's very emblematic of the whole process of a lot of big changes in political communication and campaigning rhetoric. Grygiel, however, said the posts and comments by some social media users show the public's increased distrust and frustration with their elected leaders. MORE: CBO estimates Trump's bill could add $2.4T to deficit, leave 11 million without health insurance "The jokes speak to a lack of disengagement and how we feel like this is ridiculous," they said. Grygiel, however, warned the engagement over the spat is overall detrimental to the general public as other pressing issues, including Trump's budget cuts, which set off the feud in the first place. Connecticut Democrat Sen. Chris Murphy echoed this sentiment in a blunt BlueSky post Thursday. "When 15 million Americans lose their health care and plunge into personal crisis, none of them are going to give a s--- about a made-for-clicks Twitter fight between two billionaires arguing," he said.
