Mamma Mia! I Have a Dreams Jessie Wares life off screen with teenage sweetheart husband

Jessie Ware has been on our radar for years. The 39 year old musician first came to attention way back in 2012 when she released her debut album, Devotion. The record received critical acclaim and was even nominated for that year's Mercury Prize.

Following her early success, Jessie then went on to release a string of other albums and singles, all of which have been incredibly well received – most recently, 2023's That! Feels Good! which produced the feel good single, 'Free Yourself'.

Thanks to these musical talents, Jessie has also been nominated for six Brit Awards over the years. So pretty much a big deal then?

However, Jessie has recently swapped the recording studio for the world of reality TV, after she landed a judging role on the ITV talent show Mamma Mia! I Have a Dream, alongside fellow famous faces, Alan Carr, Samantha Barks, Amber Riley and Zoe Ball as the presenter.

The show, which kicked off on Sunday, will run until mid December, when the roles of Sophie Sheridan and Sky Ramand in the West End production of the musical Mamma Mia! will be announced.

So while we expect to see Jessie on our screens for the foreseeable, what do we know about the star's personal life? Here's everything you need to know about Jessie Ware…

Who is Jessie's husband?

Jessie has been with her personal trainer husband Sam Burrows since the two first met at school.

The couple married on the Greek island of Skopelos (eerily now dubbed as the Mamma Mia! island as the movies were filmed there and on its neighbour, Skiathos) in 2014.

It's been reported that Jessie and Sam chose the location as it's where they got engaged.

Three years after the couple said their 'I do's', Jessie spoke to The Guardian about her and Sam's relationship. The singer revealed that they have been together since they were 18 and "know everything about each other."

She also added that she thinks there's "something so beautiful about that."

Do Jessie and Sam have children?

Yes! Jessie and Sam have three children together, a daughter born in September 2016 and two sons born in June 2019 and July 2021.

The couple have never disclosed the name of their kids, and Jessie also refrains from posting about them on social media.

Instead, her Instagram grid – where she's followed by 460K people – is dedicated to her incredible career, from tour and music life to her most recent Mamma Mia! job.

Jessie wrote a song about her husband

'Sam' is a song on Jessie's 2017 album, Glasshouse, and was written about and dedicated to her husband.

Jessie co wrote the track with Ed Sheeran, and it explores themes of new motherhood (Jessie had given birth to her first child the previous year), plus her life with her young family.

The verse and chorus lyrics include:

"And I hope I'm as brave as my mother
Wondering what kind of mother will I be?
I hope she knows that I found a man far from my father
Sam, my baby, and me

I've been thinking about my husband
From seventeen, the only love I've known
And I could place no one above him
So beautiful and so naive alone."

Cute!

Jessie co hosts a podcast with her mum

When she's not singing, writing music, judging a reality show, or being a full time mum and husband, Jessie also co hosts the podcast, Table Manners with her mum, Lennie.

The mother daughter duo launched the popular podcast in 2018, and according to the bio, it revolves around "food, family and everything in between, direct from her very own dinner table."

Past guests have included Dua Lipa, Kylie Minogue, Miriam Margolyes, Nigella Lawson and ABBA's very own Björn Ulvaeus.
