JESY Nelson is celebrating her pregnancy joy with thousands of fans on social media - yet public well wishes from her former Little Mix bandmates are nowhere to be seen.

The Essex lass, who has forged a solo career after quitting the pop band, yesterday revealed she is expecting twins in a sweet post.

Boyz hitmaker Jesy, 33, shared a sweet snap of her growing belly peeking out of a white vest top as she enjoyed a cuddle with partner Zion Foster.

Yet the reveal has been overshadowed by a "wall of silence" publicly from former bandmates Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall.

Perrie, 31, and Leigh-Anne, 33, are both parents themselves - with the latter even welcoming twin girls in August 2021.

Yet at the time, with Perrie giving birth to her first son with footballer Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in the same month, Jesy stayed silent.

This might explain why there has been a lack of public support from her former The X Factor co-stars and bandmates.

Of course, the trio might have messages Jesy publicly, yet the Black Magic vocalist admitted four years ago the group didn't speak at all.

Meanwhile, her ex - Love Island alum Chris Hughes, 27 - was quick to share his congratulations in a sweet comment.

BAD BLOOD

The bad blood was sparked when Jesy left Little Mix in 2020, claiming being in the band had taken its toll on her mental health.

She had been a member since they formed on The X Factor in 2011.

In October 2021, Jesy confirmed that she and the girl group were ‘not talking any more’.

During a chat at the time she addressed the lack of contact and said they didn't engage, and added: "No, not as much. Not now.

"I think we all need time. It's a big thing that's happened."

She added to : "I still love them to pieces.

"They were like my sisters."

Little Mixers: Where Are They Now?

LITTLE Mix announced their hiatus in December 2021 whereby the group clarified that they were taking a break to focus on individual projects and personal endeavours. So, where are they now?

Perrie Edwards

Perrie has been focusing on her solo career post-Little Mix.

She recently released her debut solo single, Forget About Us, which has garnered significant attention.

She is also enjoying her time as a new mum and often shares adorable moments with her son on social media.

Leigh-Anne Pinnock

Leigh-Anne has ventured into acting, landing a role in a major film project, 'Boxing Day'.

She's also been active in promoting her documentary on racial issues within the music industry.

Additionally, Leigh-Anne is balancing her career with motherhood, having welcomed twins with her partner.

Jade Thirlwall

Jade has been exploring various creative avenues, including hosting a podcast and appearing on several television shows.

She remains a strong advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and continues to use her platform to support various charitable causes.

She signed a solo recording contract with RCA Records in 2022, and released her debut single, Angel of My Dreams, this year, which reached number seven on the UK Singles Chart.

Jesy Nelson

Jesy left Little Mix in 2020 to focus on her mental health and has since embarked on a solo music career.

She released her debut single, Boyz, which sparked much discussion and showcased her new musical direction.

Jesy is also working on her first solo album, JN1, which is set to be released this year.

The Sun then broke the news on just how much Jesy Nelson was paid as part of her leaving Little Mix.

According to Companies House, she received a figure totalling £3m as part of the departure from the band.

BABY JOY

Yet fans will hope the sub does not dampen Jesy's excitement at being a first time mum.

Over the weekend, she took to Instagram to share a Polaroid snap of her growing bump as she beamed for the camera alongside her partner, Zion.

She captioned the shot: "She’s eating for 3 now" alongside two baby emojis.

It left fans speculating that the former Little Mix singer could be expecting twins.

One wrote: "Does this mean twins? Eating for 3???"

Another replied: "I think so!"

Fans may also have been shocked to see her reunited with Zion, 24, considering the couple had reportedly split back in September.

Eagle-eyed fans were then quick to call out the savvy ways the chart star had managed to hide her baby news so far.
