Former  Little Mix star Jesy Nelson has announced she is pregnant in an adorable post online.

On Sunday (January 12), the musician took to Instagram to share a sweet snap of her blossoming baby bump as she broke the news to her loyal legion of fans online.

She simply captioned the post: “She’s eating for 3 now,” suggesting that she could be expecting twins. The 33-year-old was seen rocking a white sports bra and a pair of camouglage patterned tracksuit bottoms as she stroked her stomach.

Her partner Zion Foster stood behind her as they posed for the picture together with beaming smiles. It didn’t take long before fans flooded to the comments to shower her with messages of congratulations.

Close pal Rosie Mac penned: “Ah baby girl I’m so happy for you, what a wonderful mom you’re going to be.” Another fan wrote: “Congratulations my beautiful baby! That’s my niece or nephew right there. I knew it.”

A third echoed: “Omg omg she’s a mommy now congratulations can’t wait to see you on your motherhood journey.” as a fourth echoed: “Congratulations my beautiful bestie!!!! I’m so so so so so happy for you and Zion! Love you both!!!!!!!!! Can’t wait to be an uncle!!!!!”

Her exciting post gained close to 100,000 likes in under half an hour. Back in September, it was reported that the Boyz singer had broken up with Zion, with him confirming the news on social media.

Under a video on OK!’s official account discussing the former pair’s split, Zion fuelled rumours of their separation when he commented: “Beautiful woman inside and out, wish her nothing but the best.”

This sad tribute to Jesy left fans in anguish, with one supporter writing: “I’ve been crying all day since I heard this shocking news.” Another echoed: “Aww sad looked like a lovely couple,” as another dissapointed fan wrote: “Noooooo, I was so excited for their tunes.”

Their brief separation came after the pair’s collaboration on duets, one of which they teased to their admirers last summer. Speculation about their relationship status had been rife on social media at the time.

However, it appears as though they managed to patch things up and are looking forward to starting a family together. They first started dating back in winter 2022, after they bonded over their love of musc, but called time on their romance in August 2023.
