Former Little Mix singer Jesy Nelson is pregnant.
“She’s eating for 3 now 👶👶,” Nelson, 33, and boyfriend Zion Foster wrote in a joint Instagram post on Sunday, January 12, announcing what appears to be a twin pregnancy and sharing a simple maternity photo.
In the snap, Nelson held a Polaroid picture of her and Foster, 26. The British singer wore a white sports bra and a pair of camouflage pants that showed off her bare baby bump. Foster rested his hand on Nelson’s belly.
Nelson also reshared the upload onto her Instagram Stories with two baby emojis, again appearing to indicate that she is expecting twins.
There’s still some lingering bad blood between Jesy Nelson and the other members of Little Mix. “We don’t talk, and haven’t done for a long time,” Perrie Edwards told Cosmopolitan U.K. in an interview published on Thursday, July 11. “It’s really sad, it’s heartbreaking. But sometimes these things happen, and people decide they want to […]
Her famous friends celebrated the happy news in the comments section.
“Massive congrats! The best thing in the world xx,” former Love Island UK host Laura Whitmore, who shares a daughter with husband Iain Stirling, commented.
Dancer Aaron Pring added, “You deserve every happiness Jesy! Congratulations 🥳❤️.”
Nelson and Foster have been linked since January 2022. They later collaborated on the duet “Mine” in August 2024.
Nearly five years earlier, Nelson wasn’t sure if parenthood would be in the cards.

“No, I don’t want children. It’s just not in me,” she told Glamour UK in October 2021. “I think as a woman, [motherhood is] either in you or it isn’t. You either have that maternal feeling or you don’t, and I’ve never had that feeling.”
She added at the time, “I think women have to do what is right for them. My mum is my hero. She brought up four kids single-handed. To me, she is Wonder Woman, but I know it was hard. There’s never been a part of me that’s thought, ‘Oh, I’d really love a baby.’ I’ve been so in love, thought ‘this is the one for me,’ but [I’ve] still not wanted a baby.”
So many stars announced in 2024 that they are expanding their families. Brittany and Patrick Mahomes announced in July that they are expecting baby No. 3. “Round three, here we come,” the couple announced in an Instagram post at the time. Since sharing their exciting news, Brittany showed off her maternity style and bump while […]
Nelson rose to fame as part of the U.K.’s Little Mix alongside Jade Thirlwall, Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock after they were put together as a group on The X Factor UK in 2011. Nelson was the first member to leave, announcing her exit in December 2020. The rest of the musicians went on an indefinite hiatus in 2024.
Nelson is now the third Little Mix star to become a mother. Pinnock, 33, shares 3-year-old twin daughters with husband Andre Grey, while Edwards, 31, and fiancé Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are parents to 3-year-old son Axel. Pinnock and Edwards were pregnant at the same time.
