In a new interview with the Heart Breakfast radio podcast , Jessie said that shes changed her diet and lifestyle in hopes of having biological children one day. Ive always been someone thats open and honest, she said. Four, four-and-a-half, five years ago, I was diagnosed with this disease, which is making it harder. I was told I cant have children, but I dont believe it. I believe in miracles. I havent given up.

Jessie went on to say that she's made some adjustments in her life to hopefully change her fertility outcome: Over the last four years, Ive changed my diet, she added. I changed the way I live, Ive done a lot of self-work. I am still in the process of it.

This isn't the first time Jessie has opened up about her infertility. During a 2018 concert, she revealed to the audience that she was told by doctors in 2014 that she is infertile, according to Metro . Jessie made the speech before singing her song Four Letter Word, which talks about wanting to become a mother.

"I dont tell you guys for sympathy because Im one of millions of women and men that have gone through this and will go through this, Jessie said at the time. It cant be something that defines us but I wanted to write this song for myself in my moment of pain and sadness but also to give myself joy, to give other people something that they can listen to in that moment when it gets really hard.

She continued, So if youve ever experienced anything with this or have seen somebody else go through it or have lost a child, then please know youre not alone in your pain and Im thinking of you when I sing this song.

Jessie hasn't yet disclosed the details about the changes that shes made or why shes infertile, but shes made it clear in the past that she really wants to be a mother someday. When I turned 25, something changed in me. I see children in my future 100 percent, she told Marie Claire in 2013, adding that she wanted to have children very soon.

Jessies boyfriend Channing Tatum has also been publicly supportive of her struggle. After Jessie talked about her infertility at her concert, he shared some praise on Instagram .

"This woman just poured her heart out on stage at the Royal Albert Hall," he wrote, captioning a photo of Jessie's concert. "Whoever was there got to witness something special. Wow."
