I LOVE these @fredandnoah baby grows, but his arms, legs, and feet said NOT TODAY, Mom." Pass me dad's shoes; I'm going for a walk."

He makes all my dreams come true. He is my whole world. He and I are both doing great. I am soaking up every second and still can't believe he is real, here, and mine. I am so grateful. Phew, happy tears. For all of you who have followed my journey to this moment, thank you for all your continued love and support. I will be back on Instagram when I'm ready."

The arrival of this new bundle of joy marks a momentous milestone for Jessie and her boyfriend, Chanan, as they embark on their journey as parents. According to LA Times, last April, the couple confirmed their relationship with a public display of affection during a lunch date in Los Angeles.

In January of this year, Jessie announced her pregnancy through a montage of heartwarming clips showcasing different stages of her journey. According to US Weekly, she captioned the post with a mix of excitement and vulnerability, writing, "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." The heartfelt video, set to her own song "Sunflower," featured Jessie holding up a positive pregnancy test, confirming her joyous news.

Despite her newfound role as a mother, Jessie is determined to continue her rise in pop music. Reports suggest that she is filming a documentary to document the relaunch of her career while navigating the challenges and joys of motherhood. Jessie J is poised to showcase her resilience and dedication as she balances her professional aspirations with her new role as a loving mother.
