Jesy Nelson has confirmed that she and her fiancé Zion Foster have split up after a four-month engagement.
The former Little Mix singer has confirmed that her four-year relationship with the rapper has come to an end, just weeks after announcing that their twin daughters, Ocean and Story, had been diagnosed with the severe neuromuscular condition, Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Type One.
In an interview with the Daily Mail, the 34-year-old explained that their dynamic shifted after going through the traumatic experience.
“We have been through such a traumatic experience and for us, our girls are our main priority and our main focus,” she said. “We want to give them the most positive, happy and uplifting time and energy and because we have both been through such a traumatic experience, the energy wasn’t right between us, which is understandable.”
She added, “We are still friends and we are still united in co-parenting our daughters, they are our main focus, that’s all we can do, be the best possible parents we can right now.”
Jesy and Zion started dating in 2022 and announced their engagement in September last year. However, they faced breakup rumours in the media last month after Jesy didn’t wear her engagement ring during an appearance on ITV’s This Morning.
The exes share daughters Ocean and Story, who were born prematurely in May 2025, following a high-risk pregnancy complicated by twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome. After several weeks in neonatal care, the babies were allowed to go home.
Jesy announced in early January that her girls had been diagnosed with SMA, a rare genetic condition that can cause muscle weakness. She has since been campaigning for all newborns to be tested for it at birth.
Despite the split, Zion will appear in the Boyz singer’s upcoming docuseries, Jesy Nelson: Life After Little Mix. The show will launch on Prime Video on 13 February.
