Jesy Nelson has announced that she’s engaged to her boyfriend, Zion Foster.

The former Little Mix singer, 34, shared the news on Instagram this morning by posting two photos.

The first showed the newly engaged couple posing on a beach.

In the picture, Jesy can be seen flashing her new engagement ring while Zion kisses her cheek and the sun sets in the background.

The second, meanwhile, was a close-up of the engagement ring.

Jesy captioned the photo: ‘Just got engaged to my best friend’.

Following the announcement, Jesy’s fans flooded the comments with congratulations.

Zion and Jesy have been dating since November 2022. In January 2025, they announced that Jesy was pregnant and expecting twins.

Their children, Ocean Jade and Story Monroe, were born prematurely on 18 May 2025.

In June, after spending several weeks in neonatal care, Jesy and Zion were allowed to bring their children home.

Following the birth of her twins, Jesy opened up about her premature birth.

‘Nothing or no one will ever be able to prepare you as a parent for NICU,’ she told fans on Instagram.

‘It’s the most scary overwhelming feeling of emotions, not being able to feel like you can protect your babies.

‘Naturally, as a mother, you just want to hold them and comfort them when they cry, but you can’t because there are what feels like a million wires coming out of them and tubes and masks in the way with people poking and prodding them, it breaks your heart into a million pieces.’

Jesy’s pregnancy was marred by numerous complications. Most notably, the babies were diagnosed with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS).

This rare condition means that twins share a placenta and can put one or both babies at risk of death.

During Jesy’s pregnancy, Zion was by her side the whole time, and he would later tell OK! that the experience had taught the pair how to understand each other on a deeper level.

‘I think it’s at these times when you really, really know what love you have and what your relationship means,’ he explained.

‘And I think for me and Jess, this has just taken it to a whole other level of us knowing we are literally made for each other.’
