Former Little Mix member Jesy Nelson had some major news to share on Friday morning (Sept. 26). Four months after she and partner of three years Zion Foster welcomed their twins, Ocean Jade and Story Monroe, the singer revealed that they are engaged to be married.

“Just got engaged to my best friend,” she wrote along with crying eyes and engagement ring emoji. In the surfside pic, a smiling Nelson, 34, holds up her hand to show off the bling as Foster plants a sweet kiss on her cheek, the sun setting over the waves behind the happy couple. A second snap zooms in on the impressive round-cut diamond ring set in a band that appears to have more inset diamonds.

The couple, who began dating in 2022, have a lot to celebrate after a trying 2025. In January, Nelson hinted that she was pregnant when she teased that she was “eating for 3 now,” sharing two months later that the identical babies were monochorionic/diamniotic twins — meaning they were sharing a placenta while having separate amniotic sacs.
“Normally, most twins will have two placentas that they feed off of, but when you have mono/di twins, that means your twins live off one placenta, which can lead to lots of complications,” Nelson explained in an emotional video at the time, adding that the dangerous condition meant her high-risk pregnancy was being closely monitored.
The babies arrived prematurely in May at 31 weeks, with Nelson saying at the time that they were “healthy and fighting strong!”
Nelson split with Little Mix in 2020 after a decade in the group, shortly after the girl group released their sixth studio album, Confetti. She’s since released the solo singles, “Boyz” with Nicki Minaj, as well as 2023’s “Bad Thing” and, in 2024, a collab with Foster on the song “Mine.”
