Jesy Nelson has reportedly split from her fiancé Zion Foster after four years together, according to a report by The Sun. The separation comes weeks after the Little Mix star revealed that her twin daughters had been diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA1), a rare genetic condition.
The 34-year-old singer gave birth to twin girls Ocean Jade and Story Monroe Nelson-Foster prematurely in May. Earlier this month, she announced that the babies are unlikely ever to walk due to the condition. Jesy and Zion, both musicians, began dating in 2022 and announced their engagement in January 2025.
Despite the split, the former couple remain friends and are focused on their daughters. Zion, who gained fame through SoundCloud, now has over 300,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. The pair released the R&B track 'Mine' in 2022 after Jesy's departure from Polydor Records.
Jesy shared the twins' diagnosis in a social media post, explaining that without treatment, life expectancy would not exceed two years. She said the assessment at Great Ormond Street Hospital found the babies 'will probably never be able to walk' and will be disabled. She urged early treatment and started a petition for SMA1 screening at birth via the heel prick test.
Appearing on ITV's This Morning, Jesy said she feels a 'duty of care' to raise awareness, adding: 'It feels selfish to keep this to myself and not potentially save a child's life.' She vowed to 'shout to the rooftops' about the condition.
