Jesy Nelson gives birth to twins after revealing they’d been diagnosed with heartbreaking health condition in the womb

Jesy Nelson has said she has 'never felt more in love' as she announced the birth of her twins today (18 May) following her well-documented high risk pregnancy.

Revealing her babies had been born two months premature, the former Little Mix star took to Instagram to tell fans: "So… Our beautiful baby girls decided to come at 31weeks plus 5 days.

"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."

Revealing the names she's picked for her girls, she continued: "Everybody meet Ocean Jade Nelson-Foster and Story Monroe Nelson-Foster. Born on 15.05.2025."

It comes after a difficult pregnancy for Jesy and her beau, Zion Foster, 26, who emotionally revealed back in March that their babies had been diagnosed with pre-stage TTTS.

"I am being monitored very closely and I have to go and be scanned twice a week," Jesy said at the time. "The current situation is that every time I've gone it has got a little bit worse but we are just hoping and praying for the best."

The condition refers to twin-to-twin transfusion and, while rare, can pose a fatal risk to both babies if not caught in its earliest stages.

TTTS in pregnancy sees twins sharing one placenta - as well as a network of blood vessels that supply both oxygen and nutrients - instead of each feeding off their own.

This can result in the vessel connections within the placenta not being evenly dispersed, potentially triggering an imbalance of blood exchange between both of the babies.

In the worst of cases, one baby could be underfed as a result - prompting malnourishment or worse, organ failure - and the other baby overfed, which could leave them susceptible to overworking their heart.

The star ended up undergoing an emergency procedure to save her twins, which was deemed a huge success by medics. "The TTTS has cleared up," Jesy said at the time. "The operation was a success which is just absolutely incredible. We are so, so, lucky to have the most amazing doctors."

The musician ended up spending a large chunk of her pregnancy in hospital, giving regular updates to fans on how she was getting on as she was watched closely by medics.

Zion has also made his own announcement on Instagram following the birth, writing: "My princesses are here. Thank you god."
