Jesy Nelson announced the birth via an Instagram post

Nelson has kept much of her pregnancy journey relatively private. She publicly shared only a few updates in the past months. Jesy and her partner, Zion Foster's daughters, were born early after Jesy was diagnosed with a rare and potentially life-threatening condition known as twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS).

Despite the risks, the babies arrived safely, and according to the couple, they are "healthy and fighting strong." The post in full reads:

"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 🥹 Everybody meet Ocean Jade Nelson-Foster and Story Monroe Nelson-Foster. Born on 15.05.2025 🌊📖"
