Former Little Mix star Jesy Nelson, 33, announces she’s pregnant with twins

Former Little Mix pop star Jesy Nelson has surprised fans by announcing that she is due to become a mum.

The Black Magic hitmaker, 33, shared the news after a period of inactivity on social media, having been working on her debut solo album following her exit from the band in 2020.

Perhaps the biggest surprise of all came when she confirmed not only is she expecting one baby, but two!

Sharing a sweet Polaroid snap with her 9.7million followers, Jesy showed off her blossoming bump.

‘She’s eating for 3 now 👶👶’, Jesy wrote in the caption, seemingly confirming she’s pregnant with twins.

Also in the photo is her boyfriend, Zion Foster, 26. He beamed while placing a protective hand on her stomach.

Jesy was quickly inundated with messages of congratulations as fans expressed how ‘happy’ they were for her.

Reality star Billie Shepherd also commented: ‘Huge congratulations ❤️🥰’

The Boyz singer previously split from the musician, but they later rekindled their romance.

Jesy’s pregnancy makes her the third Little Mix member to start a family.

Ex-bandmate Leigh-Anne Pinnock and her husband, Andre Gray, also welcomed twins in August 2021. While their names have not been shared publicly, it’s been confirmed that they are girls.

Meanwhile, Perrie Edwards and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain share little boy Axel, whose birthday is just days apart from Leigh-Anne’s twins.
