The singer and former Disney star was just 17 years old when he released his emotional ballad debut Beautiful Soul, which made a name for him as a singer and gave him a Platinum record.

After releasing his breakout single, Jesse went on to co-write Leona Lewis’ debut single Bleeding Love with Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic and release a total of six studio albums.

Jessie, now 36, got married to his longtime girlfriend Katie Peterson in October 2021 and the couple regularly appear together on social media.

For the singer’s birthday earlier this year, the couple shared a sweet photo of them together posing at dinner, as he wrote: “Hoppy 36th Birthday to Me!”, to mark both Easter and his birthday.
