Following on from Jessie J’ s exciting pregnancy announcement on Friday, many fans have been left curious about the identity of her boyfriend, Chanan Safir Colman.
The 34 year old singer confirmed the happy news that she was expecting a baby, one year on since she suffered a devastating miscarriage in November 2021, on Friday night.
Announcing the news on Instagram, The Voice UK star shared a beautiful montage of images taken throughout her pregnancy so far as she showcased her changing body and expanding bump.
Nowhere in the post did Jessie reveal the identity of the baby’s father, but it is believed she is still happily in a relationship with pro basketball player Chanan.
But who exactly is Chanan Safir Colman?
Chanan, 38, is a professional Danish-Israeli basketball player for Hapoel Haifa, and is believed to have been dating Jessie since April 2022, when the Daily Mail caught them kissing on a lunch date in Los Angeles.
One month later, Jessie herself alluded to a relationship with the dreamy athlete, as she told In Touch Weekly that she was now “properly in love” with many believing her romance to be with Chanan, as the pair had been frequently spotted on outings together.
By September 2022, the couple were still going strong, as they stepped out together on a sun soaked getaway to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where Jessie was due to perform at the 2022 Rock in Rio Festival.
His Instagram account hasn’t been updated since October 2022, but both Chanan and Jessie still appear to be following each other on social media, with the singer having liked his final post of last year.
Miscarriage
Prior to dating Chanan, Jessie had dated dancer Max Pham Nguyen for seven months, with the pair reportedly splitting just one month prior to the singer’s heartbreaking miscarriage.
The dancing pro, who had previously worked alongside Justin Timberlake and Olly Murs, was not the father of the baby, with Jessie later revealing that she had decided to have a baby on her own.
"I decided to have a baby on my own, because it’s all I've ever wanted and life is short,” she explained at the time.
“To get pregnant was a miracle in itself and an experience I will never forget and I know I will have again.”
Romance with Channing Tatum
Jessie’s most famous relationship to date, was with Hollywood actor Channing Tatum, with the pair dating following Channing’s split from wife Jenna Dewan in 2018.
Channing and Jenna announced they were separating in the spring of 2018 and the divorce was finalised the following year.
Going public with their romance in October 2018, Channing and Jessie experienced an on-off relationship for around two years, before officially splitting for good in October 2020.
Jessie has also dated US singer Luke James. They broke up after 11 months in November 2014.
Prior to that, she was also rumoured to have been dating bodyguard Kenny Hamilton in 2012.
