Jesy Nelson's famous exes from Love Island star to Loose Women icon's son

Following the news that Little Mix star Jesy Nelson expecting twins with boyfriend Zion Foster, let's take a peek inside the Black Magic singer's relationship history

Congratulations are in order for Little Mix star Jesy Nelson who has revealed that she is pregnant with twins.

The Black Magic singer shocked fans when she announced the happy news on Sunday, 12 January in an adorable Instagram post in which she exclaimed that she was “eating for 3 now”. Alongside the sweet caption, Jesy, 33, shared a polaroid picture of herself and boyfriend Zion Foster as her beau cradled her blossoming baby bump.

The pair’s happy announcement comes two years after they began dating and just months after the duo were hit by reports that they’d gone their separate ways. Prior to her relationship with Zion, 25, Jesy had a string of other high profile romances, including one which saw her get engaged. Let’s take a closer look inside her love life…

Sean Sagar

Prior to her relationship with Zion, the Bad Boyz singer had been in a relationship with Sean Sagar. The pair went public with their romance in the autumn of 2020 when Jesy shared a snap of her the Our Girl star looking rather loved up as he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her on the cheek.

Sadly after nine months together, the pair allegedly called time on their relationship in January 2021. “Jesy and Sean have decided to take some time apart. It’s such a shame as they made a lovely couple but recently things haven’t been right between them,” a source told The Sun.

Chris Hughes

In 2019, Jesy began dating Love Island star Chris Hughes and the pair confirmed their romance while on a trip to Ireland. Throughout their relationship, Chris and Jesy publicly showed their affection for one another and in March 2019 the TV personality explained in a radio interview that he was “so happy” and that Jesy was “the nicest girl I've ever met”.

The duo split after 16 months together, though Chris later opened up on their relationship and revealed that he and Jesy had remained “good friends” despite the end of their romance. “We’re very good friends and we enjoyed all that time together. “I look back and I don’t look at ­anything with regret,” he told The Sun.

“We still support each other and it was just a period in life where you move on. But it’s nice to look back on the good memories of my relationships with Jesy and there were plenty of good times. There’s no reason to not like each other.”

Harry James

Back in 2017, Jesy dated Harry James and the duo made their red carpet appearance in February 2018 when they attended the BRIT Awards together. After 16 months the pair ended their relationship, though in 2021 they were spotted together in Los Angeles, leading to speculation over their relationship status.

Chris Clark

Just one month after confirming her romance with The Only Way Is Essex star Chris Clark in March 2017, the pair broke up. Speaking to OK! about the split, the TOWIE star opened up about meeting the Shout Out To My Ex songstress on Instagram and explained how the timing wasn’t great for the couple. “And it went from there really. Our relationship came at a difficult time, though, because the band were touring America, so we mostly spoke on the phone. She was only in my life for about three months.”

Discussing their split, Chris admitted that he didn’t understand why she had a thing for him. “I didn’t understand why she was interested in me – I’m just someone from TOWIE,” he continued. “I always felt like second best to Jesy. But that was my issue, not hers.”

Jake Roche

After first meeting back in 2014, Jesy hit things off with fellow singer Jake Roche - who is also the son of Coleen Nolan and Shane Richie - and the pair looked cosy while out for meals and attending festivals together. “Yes it is serious and yes it is love. It’s a proper relationship, we’ve both met the families and everything is going really well,” Jake told the Daily Star Sunday at the time.

In July 2015, things went from strength to strength and Jake popped the question with the help of Ed Sheeran, who had driven for five hours on his day off to perform for them for the special occasion. Unfortunately, the couple split in 2016. Just months after they called off their engagement, Jesy discussed the topic of heartbreak. “When you break up with someone it’s awful. It’s like one of the worst pains. It’s horrendous,” she told radio show Z100 Nelson.

Jordan Banjo

Between 2012 and 2013, Jesy was in a relationship with Diversity star Jordan Banjo. According to reports, the pair mutually decided to split after 10 months together due to their busy schedules.

Six years after their split, Jordan praised his ex for opening up about her mental health as part of a documentary. During an appearance on Lorraine, host Lorraine Kelly told Jordan she thought Jesy had been “amazing” to tackle the subject of trolling, to which he replied: “100 percent. I think it's something that again is hard for someone in Jesy's situation, because where she's been so successful, she's done so much, people's initial reaction is to go, 'well if you wanna do that, you have to expect it'.”
