Jesy Nelson engaged four months after giving birth as she flashes huge diamond ring

Jesy Nelson has announced her engagement to partner Zion Foster. The former Little Mix singer, 34, took to Instagram on Friday morning to share her happy news as she shared a first glimpse at her huge diamond ring.

Mum-of-two Jesy, who shares twin daughters with music star Zion, 26, posted a sweet picture with her future husband-to-be following his proposal. The happy couple, who first started dating in November 2022, posed on the beach in front of a stunning sunset.

Alongside the post, Jesy wrote: "Just got engaged to my best friend". The singer then posted a close-up shot of her dazzling engagement ring. The engagement comes just four months after Jesy gave birth to the couples twins, Ocean Jade and Story Monroe.

Jesy endured a terrifying pregnancy and recently opened up about the rare health condition that left her in "a constant state of fear" while pregnant with her twin girls. Speaking in her first live interview with This Morning back in July, Jesy opened up about learning that her twin girls had twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTS) - a rare condition that threatened their lives before they were born.

Identical twins share the same placenta in their mother's womb, with some blood vessels joining the two together. Twins with TTS don't have an equal flow of blood between the babies, which means that one baby can become anaemic and another can receive too much blood, leading to heart failure.

"I couldn't believe the percentages and what could potentially happen to them. I almost felt from that point I couldn't really enjoy my pregnancy because I was constantly worried that something would happen," she said. "I could only take it two weeks at a time."

While Jesy and Zion were "over the moon" about having twins when they first found out, doctors confirmed at 21 weeks that they had developed TTTS. "Every time we were going for scans [to monitor her pre-stage TTTS] it was getting a little bit worse, a little bit worse. I still felt like we didn't think it was gonna happen… I was a bit in denial about it," she said.

She added that she was in a "constant state of fear" due to the twins' condition and later went into hospital for a procedure to burn the blood vessels that were causing uneven blood flow between the twins.

Meanwhile, Zion said: "It felt like overnight it literally went from pre-stage [TTTS] to having the procedure now, and that procedure is not even guaranteed to work, and that was terrifying."

Thankfully, Jesy delivered the baby girls in May, announcing the news on Instagram. Jesy said: "So… Our beautiful baby girls decided to come at 31weeks plus 5 days. It all happened so quickly, but we are so blessed that they are here with us, healthy and fighting strong! We’ve never felt more in love. Everybody meet Ocean Jade Nelson-Foster and Story Monroe Nelson-Foster. Born on 15.05.2025."

The first-time mum had lived in hospital for ten weeks before the birth, after their daughters developed twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome in the womb. The rare condition could have been fatal for both babies so the couple planned for Jesy's labour to be induced once the twins were deemed strong enough around the 32 week stage.

In the months leading up to Ocean and Story's birth, Jesy documented her difficult and emotional pregnancy for fans. She required emergency surgery in April after the twin-to-twin transfusion diagnosis, with Jesy telling fans at the time: "We feel so grateful and blessed that these little babies are still going strong."

Jesy and Zion began dating back in November 2022, with the musician running the London Marathon in May to raise money for the Twins Trust - a charity which offers support for families with twins.

Speaking to The Mirror at the time, Zion said of the twins: “They’re giving us so much hope they’re going to come out healthy. Jesy and the twins have come through so much. There were so many times in this pregnancy we didn't think we'd get to where we are now.

"Their strength has been unmatched. We literally feel like we know them already just because of how much they've overcome. Their characters are so strong. They're so brave.”
