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 The Guardian: “I still love them to pieces.

“They were like my sisters.”

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.

The pair first broke up in the summer of 2023 when Jesy was struggling with their nine year age gap.

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