Jessie J reveals that motherhood is the best thing she has done as she makes career comeback after hiatus
Jessie J has revealed that she is 'living her best life' as a mother.
The British pop star appeared on The Project on Monday and said that returning to her career as she experiences parenthood is doubly a blessing.
'Oh, being a mum, honestly' she replied when asked what 'living her best life' means to her now.
'It's the magic of my little Sky... I love my boy so much' she added, discussing son Sky, who she shares with partner Chanan Safir Colman.
The 37-year-old welcomed her son with her basketballer boyfriend in May 2023.
'I'm living my best life, just enjoying this. I'm so grateful to be back and putting out music' she said.
'Being a mum as well and having a career and a child and having both, I'm loving it.'
The pop star added that her son enjoys hearing her sing and shares her appreciation of music.
'Every time he hears me singing, he looks at everyone in the room and goes, "mummy's singing."
'He finishes the songs I sang to him when he was a baby. He sings it to me.'
It comes after Jessie admitted she 'isn't too fussed' about getting married.
She has been with Chanan, 41, for four years, but says she feels no pressure to tie the knot anytime soon.
The Price Tag hitmaker says the couple will do it in their own time, and although she does expect they will wed 'one day', it's not something particularly important for them to do right now.
'We talk about it all the time, and we laugh about it all the time, and I'm sure we will, but we're not in any rush,' the mum-of-one - who shares son Sky with Chanan - told People magazine.
She continued: 'I've always said that I'm not too fussed about getting married, and some people get really funny about that, but it's my own preference.'
Jessie finds marriage 'quite contractual' but she is keen for them to affirm their love for one another.
The pop star would prefer to do a ceremony of love and just have friends and family in attendance.
'But I'm not in any rush,' she added. 'I know he loves me. He knows I love him. We're good.'
Jessie says that having a son together 'is the most locked in that we can feel with each other.'
She said: 'He has exceeded my expectations as a father beyond my imagination. I'm so grateful that he is so present and just so willing to adapt around obviously my career.'
On Friday Jessie sent fans into a frenzy after dropping a brand-new single and unveiling the stunning official artwork for the track.
Following the release of her deeply personal and reflective song No Secrets last month, the singer has returned with Living My Best Life - a vibrant, feel-good anthem bursting with positivity.

You're NOT a typical working mum, Meghan – you've got a nanny & it's so grating when you whine, expert slams
MEGHAN Markle has been slammed by a royal expert for whining about being a typical working mum despite having a nanny. The Duchess of Sussex, 43, admitted in April she had an "amazing" nanny who had helped her look after Prince Archie, aged six, and Princess Lilibet, aged three, for the past five years. 3 3 3 However, an expert has slammed the mum-of-two for "going on and on" about her life as a working mum, despite her "great privilege" giving her access to helpful resources that much of the rest of the world "cannot afford". Speaking on The Sun's Royal Exclusive Show, Royal Correspondent Bronte Coy said she was "frustrated" by Meghan for "overusing" the examples of her motherly responsibilities. The expert explained: "I have a son, but when I hear people from positions of great privilege - where they can afford nannies and a lot of help - go on and on and on about the working mum thing, it's not the same. "Yes, it's time away from your kid - I definitely understand that aspect - but it's not the same as the working mum idea that a lot of the rest of the world has to deal with. "And so she really leaned into that a lot, and I think, well, is this a struggle that you have a lot?" Bronte added: "You do have help. And also you are at home a lot." "I find that a little bit grating." Meghan had admitted in an appearance on The Jamie Kern Lima Show in April that her nanny would step in to help take her children to school. Her admission came just weeks after the Duchess of Sussex said she felt the " juggling" of working and being a mum was " incredibly overwhelming", adding: "Oh my gosh, I just need a break." Adding to Bronte's points, broadcaster and writer Esther Krakue said Meghan was trying "to be this thing that she's clearly not", in relation to her "influencer" status. There's nothing much left of 'erratic' Harry in terms of a man, he's just watching Meghan crack on Esther explained: "I don't even want to feel like we're beating down on everything she does - I genuinely wish her all the success. "But I feel sad that she feels the need to be this thing that she's clearly not. She's not a chemist. She's not a physicist." "But that's fine - sometimes it's OK to just be pretty and to have good fortune in life and to ride that wave." In response, Bronte added that she felt Meghan would be best suited to returning to her lifestyle space, which "she clearly loves." The expert added: "I think that she, I was always hopeful when she leaned into the lifestyle space, clearly she loves that. "I thought maybe we're going to see a more relaxed, casual, real Meghan - I really had hoped that would work - I thought that was going to be a good idea for her. "I have been disappointed by the output, however. "I think it's just not quite landed for a lot of people, particularly now the show is wrapped up." There's nothing left of the man that was Harry, he's erratic and just watching Meghan crack on, expert says Prince Harry is nothing but a shell of his former self as he watches his wife Meghan Markle succeed in her life, an expert has claimed. The Duke of Sussex also appears to be "erratic" in his behaviour, given his latest "random" visit to China, which clashed with King Charles and Queen Camilla's visit to Canada, the expert added. All of this comes while his wife Meghan has engaged in a major re-brand this year, launching her new podcast and finding success with her business As Ever. Speaking on The Sun's Royal Exclusive Show, broadcaster and writer Esther Krakue said Harry's visit to China for his sustainable travel charity Travalyst was done as he "has nothing left". She said: "If you think about it critically, what else does he [Harry] have left? "I mean, he's resigned from Sentebale, while it's being investigated. "He's no longer a working royal, [and while] he has his other charity work with the Invictus Games, his involvement is not as in-depth because it's every few years. "This [Travalyst] is really all he has left." Esther added that Meghan's continued success meant Harry was living in her shadow, leaving him with nothing left of his former self. She continued: "It kind of feels like [this] because there's nothing left. "He's just watching Meghan go from experiment to experiment, you know, taking his kids to school and dropping them off - but really, there isn't much there in terms of the man. "What is the man about?" This comes as the Duchess of Sussex's Netflix cooking show was slammed by an expert for not "being entertaining or informative". The Netflix series saw Meghan making guest baskets, beeswax candles, and a single skillet spaghetti, filmed at a farmhouse near her £12million Montecito mansion. Esther shared: 'There's nothing there. 'She's very, like - I'm not saying this to be horrible - she is not an entertainer or an entertaining person. 'There's not much personality there. 'I never learn anything from her. I love lifestyle shows. I watch them every day. I don't learn anything. I didn't learn anything from hers. And she's just not entertaining. 'She's not a fun person to be around. 'You don't think this is the person I want to go to the pub with to have a pint with. 'It's very clear that she is not box office in terms of entertainment quality.'

Bublik rolls the dice and wins at Roland Garros
PARIS, June 2 (Reuters) - Alexander Bublik approached his Roland Garros clash with world number five Jack Draper on Monday believing it was a match of singular opportunity — one where he had no choice but to take maximum risks or bow out quietly. The flamboyant Kazakh, long known for his unconventional approach to tennis and life on tour, edged a high-pressure contest that he later described as one of the most satisfying of his career. "You know, sometimes I feel like there are a certain amount of matches in your life," the former world number 17, now 62, told a press conference after his 5-7 6-3 6-2 6-4. "For example, the Halle title that I won, the Roland Garros in doubles that I didn't, and today's match. Sometimes you have only one chance. If I got broken there (in the second set), it's 7-5 6-2 maximum for me. I wouldn't even try to fight." Instead, the 27-year-old held his nerve, playing high-risk tennis, hitting 37 drop shots on a surface he has long struggled to embrace. This season, however, Bublik has won more clay court matches than in his previous three years combined. Does he love clay now? Not really. It was more a necessity. "Maybe this is the first year I haven't complained about playing on clay, because I didn't have a lot of options," he admitted. "I was dropping in the rankings." Having long been candid about his distaste for the grind of tour life and the relentless culture of suffering often glorified in high-level sport, Bublik reiterated his belief in balance over obsession. "I prioritise tennis and life in equal ways," he said. "Will I put my life and health on the line for a 'might'? Maybe? No." He rejected comparisons to the sport's enduring workaholics, such as Rafael Nadal, known for embracing struggle and playing through the pain. "There's no way around hard work — don't get me wrong, I work hard. But on my terms," Bublik said. "I won't push through a knee injury to win a match. I have a family, I'm a father, and I have to do father duties." To each their own, however, Bublik added. "You have to find your own balance," he said. "If you're ready to put your body on the line and win a Slam doing that, go for it. But don't complain if it doesn't work out."
