Jesy Nelson claimed ‘motherhood is not for me’ before revealing shock pregnancy with TWINS

JESY Nelson once claimed "motherhood is not for me" before revealing show pregnancy with twins.

The singer, 33, stunned fans over the weekend with the news she and on/off boyfriend Zion Foster are expecting.

It's a dramatic U-turn for the former Little Mix singer, who just a few years ago insisted she didn't want kids.

Speaking to at the time, Jesy said: "No I don't want children.

"It's just not in me. I think as a woman, [motherhood is] either in you or it isn't.

"You either have that maternal feeling or you don't, and I've never had that feeling."

Yesterday Jesy took to Instagram to share a snap of her and Zion posed together, showing off her growing baby bump.

Jesy added: "She’s eating for 3 now."

Following the shock announcement, Jesy was congratulated publicly by her Love Island star ex-boyfriend Chris Hughes.

Jesy and Chris, 32, split in April 2020 after 16 months together.

Commenting on her post, Chris wrote: "Go on girl."

Fans quickly praised Chris for the support despite their relationship not working out.

One said: "Supportive exes... we love to se it." And another wrote: "You're a great ex."

Jesy's former Little Mix bandmate Leigh-Anne Pinnock gave birth to twins in August 2021.

And Perrie Edwards welcomed son Axel the same month that year.
