Nicki Minaj Seems to SLAM Little Mix Amid Jesy Nelson Scandal

Jesy Nelson is now a mum times two—after a terrifying pregnancy.

The Little Mix alum gave birth to her and boyfriend Zion Foster's identical twin daughters Ocean Jade Nelson-Foster and Story Monroe Nelson-Foster more than two months early after being hospitalized since March for a complication that threatened the babies' lives. The preemies are currently being treated in the NICU.

"So… Our beautiful baby girls decided to come at 31weeks plus 5 days," Jesy wrote on her Instagram May 18, alongside photos of herself and Zion with their twins. "It all happened so quickly, but we are so blessed that they are here with us, healthy and fighting strong! We’ve never felt more in love."

She continued, "Everybody meet Ocean Jade Nelson-Foster and Story Monroe Nelson-Foster Born on 15.05.2025."

The couple had first shared their twin pregnancy news on Instagram in January with a polaroid of Zion cradling Jessy's baby bump.

During her pregnancy journey, the “Boyz” singer was also candid about the difficulties she had faced.In a March 5 Instagram video with Zion, Jesy explained their babies were monochorionic-diamniotic twins, meaning they shared a placenta, which could lead to "lots of complications."

"One of them being, one baby might take all the nutrients," the singer said, "which, really awful to say, could lead to both babies dying. At the moment, I am currently pre stage TTS, which is Twin-to-Twin Transfusion [Syndrome], and I'm being monitored very closely."

Due to her high-risk pregnancy, the music artist was made to undergo twice-weekly scans. "The current situation that we're in at the moment is that every time I've gone," she added, "it's got a little bit worse."

And it soon did. Days later, Jesy revealed that she was hospitalized after a checkup after experiencing worse symptoms and was getting ready to undergo a procedure.

"It's necessary," she said in a March 8 Instagram video with Zion, "because it's going to give our babies like the best chance of surviving."

Weeks later, the couple shared a positive update. "The TTS has cleared up," Jesy said in a March 30 Instagram video with her boyfriend. "The operation was a success, which is just absolutely incredible."
