JESY Nelson once claimed "motherhood is not for me" before revealing show pregnancy with twins. The singer, 33, stunned fans over the weekend with the news she and on/off boyfriend Zion Foster are expecting. It's a dramatic U-turn for the former Little Mix singer, who just a few years ago insisted she didn't want kids.

Speaking to Glamour UK at the time, Jesy said: "No I don't want children. "It's just not in me. I think as a woman, [motherhood is] either in you or it isn't. "You either have that maternal feeling or you don't, and I've never had that feeling.". Yesterday Jesy took to Instagram to share a snap of her and Zion posed together, showing off her growing baby bump.

Jesy added: "She’s eating for 3 now.". Following the shock announcement, Jesy was congratulated publicly by her Love Island star ex-boyfriend Chris Hughes. Jesy and Chris, 32, split in April 2020 after 16 months together. Commenting on her post, Chris wrote: "Go on girl.".

Fans quickly praised Chris for the support despite their relationship not working out. One said: "Supportive exes... we love to se it." And another wrote: "You're a great ex.". Jesy's former Little Mix bandmate Leigh-Anne Pinnock gave birth to twins in August 2021.
