Jessie J has seemingly addressed her past relationship with actor Channing Tatum in her latest single, “Threw It Away.” In the track, she describes feelings of heartbreak and hints at the notion of karma, suggesting a pointed commentary on their time together. The song is part of her upcoming album, Don’t Tease Me With A Good Time, and was previewed to fans on November 25, 2023.
In the lyrics, Jessie sings, “I put my heart out on the table / That’s when it got uncomfortable / But oh that karma is gonna come one day / ’Cause I gave you my love and you threw it away.” She later refers to Tatum as a “beast,” stating, “Don’t you dare rewrite the story. I’m the beauty, you’re the beast.” This track, written in collaboration with Ryan Tedder, is believed to reflect on her relationship with Tatum, which lasted from 2018 until early 2020.
Relationship Timeline and Breakup
Jessie J and Tatum were first linked six months after his split from ex-wife Jenna Dewan. Their romance became public in November 2018 when they were spotted supporting each other at various events. The couple’s relationship was marked by ups and downs, including a brief split in 2019, followed by a rekindling in January 2020. Ultimately, they separated for good in April of that year.
Following their breakup, Tatum began dating actress Zoë Kravitz in 2021. Their relationship progressed quickly, leading to an engagement in 2023, though they parted ways the following year. Tatum has since started a relationship with model Inka Wiliams.
For Jessie J, her personal life took a significant turn when she began dating basketball player Chanan Colman in 2021. The couple welcomed their first child, a son named Sky, in 2023 after Jessie experienced a miscarriage two years earlier. This new chapter in her life has been a source of joy amid her recent health challenges.
Health Challenges and Career Resilience
Earlier this year, Jessie J faced a significant health scare when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. In an emotional video shared on Instagram in August 2023, she revealed that she had undergone surgery and needed a second procedure before the end of the year. This announcement led her to postpone her tour, originally scheduled for late 2023, to focus on her recovery.
“I’m living in the moment. I’m embracing the moment, and I’m flowing with the vibes,” Jessie stated. “I need to be better. I need to be healed, and I know this is the right decision to make, so I’m postponing the tour till next year.”
Jessie’s journey through love, heartbreak, and health challenges has been a testament to her resilience. As she prepares to release her new album and continue her recovery, fans are eager to see how her personal experiences will shape her music moving forward.
