Can you recognize this pop star from her sweet childhood photo — before fame, Grammys, and heartbreak?
At 36, Jess Glynne celebrated her birthday by sharing an adorable throwback snap — a little girl in floral leggings who’d one day become one of Britain’s biggest music stars. Fans flooded the post with love, calling her “fearless then, unstoppable now.”

Jess first stole hearts in 2014 with Rather Be, her chart-topping hit with Clean Bandit. Since then, she’s made history as the only British female artist with seven UK No.1 singles. But success hasn’t come without setbacks. Her recent album struggled to chart, leading her to part ways with her record label. Still, friends say she’s “not letting it break her spirit.”
Now, Jess seems happier than ever, sharing sun-soaked photos with her girlfriend, BBC presenter Alex Scott, in Ibiza. As she looks ahead to new music, her birthday post felt like a quiet reminder — no matter how life changes, the girl in the picture never stopped believing.
