Former Little Mix singer Jesy Nelson has become a mother, welcoming twin daughters with her partner, musician Zion Foster. The news marks a significant personal milestone for Nelson, who left the chart-topping group in December 2020, and follows her ex-bandmates Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock into parenthood.
From Pregnancy Announcement to a Double Delivery
Jesy Nelson, 34, announced she was expecting twins with boyfriend Zion Foster, 26, in January 2025. The couple shared a joyful photo on Instagram to reveal the pregnancy to fans. The journey was not without its challenges, as they faced several complications along the way. Thankfully, their daughters, named Ocean Jade Nelson-Foster and Story Monroe Nelson-Foster, arrived safely in May 2025.
Just four months after the birth, Foster proposed, and the couple announced their engagement in September 2025 with a sweet social media post captioned, "Just got engaged to my best friend." However, by January 2026, reports emerged suggesting the pair had parted ways for a second time, though neither has publicly confirmed the split.
Who is Zion Foster?
While Jesy Nelson is a household name, her partner Zion Foster is less known to the public. Foster, now 27, is a British musician from London who works in the hip-hop and rap genres. His most popular track is 'Intro (Real Love)', a collaboration with rapper Brandz.
He also worked professionally with Nelson, releasing a collaborative single titled 'Mine' in 2024 after she embarked on her solo career. The couple have a notable age gap of seven years, which they have openly embraced. In a preview of an unreleased song, Nelson sang about it, and Foster once stated on TikTok, "I like me a mature woman."
A Rocky Relationship Timeline
The pair's romance has seen its ups and downs. They first started dating in January 2022 but split in 2024, shortly before 'Mine' was due for release. The split appeared amicable, with Foster commenting online that Nelson was a "beautiful woman inside and out" and wishing her the best.
They reconciled quietly in November 2024, and just two months later, announced the twin pregnancy. The recent reports of a split in January 2026, if true, would mark the second separation for the couple, coming just months after their engagement and the birth of their children.
The arrival of Ocean and Story has been a bright spot for Nelson, who has since shared heartbreaking health updates about her daughters' diagnosis with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Type 1, an incurable muscle disease.
