@bymariandrew thank you for this art. It spoke to me today ❤️ My only wish for my 31st birthday is... To be better —————————————————-Better at coping with loss. Better at coping with change. Better at facing my fears. Better at being alone. Better at being open. Better at asking for support. Better at communication. Better at making time for myself and those who deserve it. Better at giving love. Better at receiving love. Better at not being afraid to be myself. Better at not being afraid to wear what I want. Better at acting on my instincts. Better at making decisions. Better at being a friend. Better at putting myself first. Better at introducing myself to people. Better at being genuinely confident. Better at resting. Better at loving my body shape. Better at opening my heart to love. Better at being truthful about how I really feel. Better at letting go of things that do not matter. Better at focusing on the lesson not the win or the fail. Better at making time to create. Better at prioritising life over work. Better at not judging myself or others. Better at celebrating myself. Better at being kind to my body and mind when it shuts down. Better at not justifying myself. Better at listening. Better at celebrating others in my actions and not just in my mind. Better at making music that I love and not what I feel pushed to make. Better at being open to new things. Better at loving myself from the inside out and consistently. Better at life. Better at being myself ❤️

The two are private about their relationship. Tatum has only posted about Jessie J once before, in November 2018.

"This woman just poured her heart out on stage at the Royal Albert Hall," he captioned an image of her onstage. "Whoever was there got to witness something special. Wow."

Tatum and his former wife, Jenna Dewan, announced their split in 2018 and stated their commitment to co-parenting their daughter in a joint statement at the time.

"There are no secrets nor salacious events at the root of our decision — just two best-friends realizing it’s time to take some space and help each other live the most joyous, fulfilled lives as possible," their statement read. "We are still a family and will always be loving dedicated parents to Everly."
