Jessie J shows off bump at Brit Awards hours after announcing baby's sex

Jessie J showed off her baby bump on the Brits red carpet as she arrived in a fantastic red outfit. The 34-year-old singer announced she was pregnant in January – just over a year after announcing the sad news of a miscarriage.

The singer announced her pregnancy last month, saying that she was "happy and terrified" to share the news. Hours before she arrived at the major music awards, she revealed on Instagram that she is expecting a boy, as well as teasing a new track aptly named 'The Award Goes To.'

Jessie J appeared on the carpet wearing a red co-ord with matching stilettos, that showed off her growing bump. The outfit was paired with a voluminous shawl and carried an ornate metallic handbag.

The singer joked that she could “really do with a snack” as she walked the red carpet, adding: “I just literally teased a new song an hour ago. It wasn’t even really a planned thing…You have got to do what you have got to do.”

Asked about the absence of women in the best artist category, she said: “It is a difficult question to answer because as a feminist of course you want women and men and everyone celebrated, however they identify. But at the same time if the best of the best is all men then I don’t think it is fair that one would be taken out and replaced but then it makes it…

“It is a difficult one to answer so of course I think women should be celebrated but if it was an all woman category would the conversation be the same?” She added that she was “kind of for it and against it”.

In November 2021, the singer thanked her fans for support after she revealed that she had experienced a miscarriage. She shared that she had become pregnant after planning to have a baby as a single woman but sadly, after her third scan, doctors discovered there was no heartbeat.

Jessie J has previously spoken about her desire to have children, but lives with adenomyosis, a condition where the tissue that normally lines the womb starts to grow within the muscular wall of the womb. The condition is linked to an increased risk of miscarriage and premature birth.
