Jesy Nelson's motherhood U-turn as she announces pregnancy after saying 'it's not for me'

Jesy Nelson has had a change of heart about motherhood - as she now cannot wait to become a first time mum. The 33-year-old former Little Mix star stunned her fans on Sunday when she announced she is pregnant - and seemingly with twins. The Secret Love Song singer took to Instagram on Sunday to share a photograph of herself posing with her 25-year-old musician boyfriend Zion Foster and her growing baby bump.
She shared the snap alongside a caption stating: "She's eating for three now" - leaving fans thrilled that she appeared to be expecting twins. Her happy news comes over three years after she hinted she did not see motherhood in her future. Jesy, who found fame via The X Factor in 2011, shocked fans when she quit Little Mix in December 2020 - ditching her co-stars Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall to pursue a solo career. She promoted her solo ambitions in a number of interviews the following year.
And it was during a chat with Glamour magazine that she opened up about her thoughts on parenting - sharing that she was not sure if she would take the plunge in the future. She told the magazine: “It’s just not in me. I think as a woman, [motherhood is] either in you or it isn’t.”.
She said: “You either have that maternal feeling or you don’t, and I’ve never had that feeling. I think women have to do what is right for them." She also revealed that she had not at that time met either Leigh-Anne or Perrie's babies - as both Little Mix singers had started their families in 2021.
