Jesy Nelson has announced she is engaged to her boyfriend Zion Foster in an adorable Instagram post. The former Little Mix star shared her happy news with fans on Friday morning which comes just four months after the couple welcomed their identical twins, Ocean Jade and Story Monroe, who were born with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS).
Zion appears to have popped the question on a stunning beach at sunset as Jesy shared some loved up snaps of the pair embracing one another on the sand while she showed off her huge diamond ring. The 34-year-old singer simply captioned the post: “Just got engaged to my best friend”.
She re-shared the post to her Instagram Stories with Lionel Richie’s hit, Truly, playing in the background. Fans raced to the comments to congratulate the happy couple as one wrote: “You deserve the world!”
Another replied: “Babe I’m so so happy for you girl you deserve all beautiful things in this world. I wish you the best with your family.”
A third gushed: “Beautiful… Congratulations to you both!”
Jesy and Zion, who have been together since 2022, became parents earlier this year when they welcomed their baby girls in May.
Unfortunately, their lives had a very rocky start as both babies required life saving surgery when they were still in the womb.
Jesy stayed in hospital for weeks after the twins were diagnosed with TTTS, a rare but serious condition in which blood flows unevenly between identical twins sharing a placenta.
Jesy also had a “threatened miscarriage” early on in the pregnancy.
The pair appeared on This Morning in July with their daughters in their first TV interview since their birth to raise awareness about TTTS.
Jesy holding Ocean Jade, said: “I couldn’t believe the percentages and what could potentially happen to them.
“I almost felt like from the point I couldn’t really enjoy my pregnancy because I was just constantly worried that something was going to happen. The doctors told us they take it like two weeks at a time.

“We didn’t even want to announce it. I actually had a threatened miscarriage as well so I was like I don’t even want to announce it.
“When I look back now it makes me so sad, it’s supposed to be the happiest time. We had no idea this could happen with twins.”
Zion, proudly cradling Story Monroe during the interview, added: “I just felt whilst Jess was going through it all, words of reassurance is all I could do and trying to stay positive.”
