From medical scans to a ring: Jesy Nelson's engagement to Zion Foster

Back in 2025, Zion Foster announced his engagement with Little Mix alum Jesy Nelson on his Instagram. According to a report shared by People, their engagement news came just four months after the couple welcomed their twins on May 15, 2025.

"Just got engaged to my best friend 🥹💍," Nelson wrote in the caption.

The couple had gone through a high-risk pregnancy and shared their experience in a joint Instagram post on May 18.

“So, our beautiful baby girls decided to come at 31 weeks 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," shared the couple.

Jesy Nelson had learned, amid her pregnancy, that she was having monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) twins. She expanded on the ordeal in a March 2025 social media video.

“Unfortunately, there are complications that come with having identical twins, the types of twins we’re having are monochorionic diamniotic twins and with that, normally, most twins will have two placentas that they feed off of. When you have monochorionic diamniotic twins, they can lead to lots of different complications,” she explained.

“At the moment, I am currently pre-stage TTTS, which is twin-to-twin transfusion. I’m being monitored very closely. I have to go be scanned twice a week. The current situation that we’re in at the moment is that every time I’ve gone it gets a little bit worse. We are just hoping and praying for the best. We feel so blessed that we’ve been given twins. It’s just really sad, unfortunately, it does come with these complications we had no idea about,” she added.

Jesy Nelson speaks out to raise awareness after her twins’ SMA diagnosis:

According to a report shared by Us Weekly on January 4, 2026, Jesy Nelson provided an emotional update on the health of her 8-month-old twin daughters. Zion Foster's fiancée revealed that her daughters have been diagnosed with a “severe muscle disease” via an Instagram post.

“A few months ago, my mum noticed that the girls were not showing as much movement in their legs as they should be, [It] wasn’t really a concern to me at the time because from the minute I left the NICU, I was told, ‘Your babies are premature, so do not compare your babies to other babies. They won’t reach the same milestones. Take them as they are,’” shared Nelson.

“When the healthcare visit came, we were told, ‘They look great, they’re healthy and everything is fine, a few signs then started to show a bit later on that they were struggling to feed properly. It was getting gradually less and less and less,” she added.

She later addressed the main concern, sharing that her twins had "been diagnosed with a severe muscle disease called SMA Type 1.” Zion Foster's partner in parenting later explained the condition in detail with hopes of building maximum awareness.

“Type 1 is the most severe type that a baby can get. It stands for spinal muscular atrophy, which can affect every muscle in the body down to legs, arms, breathing, swallowing and … over time it kills the muscles in the body, if it’s not treated in time, your baby’s life expectancy will not make it past the age of 2,” shared Jesy Nelson.

Nelson continued to share the emotional bits of her story.

“When [the doctors] assessed the girls, we were told they’re probably never going to be able to walk, they’ll probably never regain any strength, so they will be disabled. The best thing we can do right now is get them treatment and just hope for the best.”
