Over the past few months, Jess has been making headlines for several reasons:

She publicly condemned the use of her 2015 hit Hold My Hand by the White House in a social-media post that used the song as soundtrack to a video about immigrant deportations. She said the post made her “sick,” arguing her music stands for “love, unity and spreading positivity — never about division or hate.”

On a personal front, Jess recently revealed she missed greeting her girlfriend, ex-footballer and TV pundit Alex Scott, after her eviction from the show I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! — because Jess’s mother suffered a major stroke and needed urgent brain surgery, forcing Jess to stay close to home.

Despite difficulties, Jess praised Alex’s efforts on the show, saying she was “unbelievably proud” — and reaffirming that their relationship remains strong.

Musically, she’s been reflecting on her career journey. After stepping back from the spotlight for a period, she released her third studio album, Jess, and opened up about nearly quitting music because of public scrutiny and the personal toll of fame — including being “misunderstood,” facing backlash, and enduring periods of deep unhappiness.

Through all this, Jess seems to be seeking a balance between art, authenticity and personal well-being. What emerges is a portrait of an artist who isn’t afraid to speak out when something deeply matters — whether it’s her integrity, her relationships, or her values.
