Jessie J is convinced she will have children after battling infertility for the last five years.
The Price Tag singer, who is currently dating Channing Tatum, has completely changed her diet and overhauled her lifestyle after being diagnosed with infertility and told she'd need an immediate hysterectomy.
But the 31-year-old singer says she's doing everything in her power to get her body ready to conceive – and believes it will happen.
"I've always been someone that is open and honest. And from a very very young age I've always stood in the middle of my pain and my battles with everything. And I think it's basically made me who I am today and the artist I am and the music I make," she told Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden on today's Heart Breakfast show.
"So four and a half, five years ago I was diagnosed with this disease that, you know is making it harder. I was told I couldn't have children, I don't believe it. I believe in miracles. I haven't given up."
The defiant Voice Kids presenter went on: "For the last four years I've changed my diet, I've changed the way I've live, I've done a lot of self-work and just to be open about it and start a conversation that could help someone that doesn't know how to talk about it, and start this conversation.
"I wouldn't be having this conversation so – and being on the show, I had some people ask me you know 'is it really hard?' and I'm like, 'no'. Like, I love kids you know and I'm so grateful. And whatever happens will happen. I've had great blessings and success in my life and I believe that balance has to happen for everybody."
But Jessie hinted she'd be prepared to go it alone if boyfriend Channing wasn't on board with having more children – he already has six-year-old daughter Everly with ex-wife Jenna Dewan.
Asked if she and Channing have already had the conversation about having a baby, Jessie exclaimed: "No!
"No, just because he’s Channing Tatum everyone’s kind of sped us up in to this, like, 'are you getting married? Are you doing this?' I mean, I've been in relationships for a lot longer than Chan and I have in the last four, five years but they're not famous so no one really cares."
Jessie added: "We're having a lovely time. And I'm very, very respectful of his situation and his [privacy]."
It comes months after an emotional Jessie told the audience at one of her gigs the true meaning of her song Four Letter Word, which includes lyrics about how she is longing to become a mother.
She took to Instagram afterwards to explain: "I was told 4 years ago I won’t be able to have children. I was also told I would need a hysterectomy immediately and to be put on medication.
"I refused the hysterectomy and I'm off all medication through natural medicine and diet change. I haven't given up hope. I am doing all I can to make it happen the best way my body will allow."
