The 33-year-old former Little Mix star revealed her pregnancy on Instagram Sunday (January 12), posting a photo of her growing baby bump alongside Zion, 26.
The announcement came months after the pair were reported to have split last September.
In the post, Jesy cheekily noted she’s now “eating for three.”
The announcement has been flooded with congratulatory messages from fans, with one person writing: “You deserve every happiness Jesy! Congratulations.”

“The best news,” another added. “Congratulations to you both.”
Jesy also joins fellow Little Mix member Leigh-Anne Pinnock as a mom of twins, after the latter welcomed her two daughters with partner Andre Gray back in 2021.
Little Mixer Perrie Edwards is also a mom, after welcoming a son named Axel Xander Oxlade-Chamberlain back in 2021.
Jesy and Zion first sparked romance rumors in January 2022. Their relationship faced challenges, including their nine-year age gap, which reportedly contributed to a breakup in November 2023, per the Daily Mail.
The couple reconciled shortly afterward, only to reportedly “split” again five months ago, according to The Sun.
Fans speculated about their separation last September when both Jesy and Zion removed traces of each other from their social media accounts. At the time, Zion confirmed the breakup in a comment on OK! Magazine’s TikTok, saying: “Beautiful woman inside and out, wish her nothing but the best.”
Despite the ups and downs, the pair hinted at a fresh start with the heartwarming pregnancy announcement, showcasing their renewed bond.

The couple had previously collaborated on music, releasing one track together in August, with others reportedly ready for release. However, following their earlier split, a source told The Sun: “Jesy and Zion split last month and have completely cut ties with each other.
“It’s not the first time they have broken up, but friends think it’s for good this time. It’s slightly awkward though because they had an EP ready of music they have made together, and Jesy doesn’t want it released now. Fans have already heard one of their tracks and were hoping for more, but it’s looking pretty unlikely at this point.”
News of their rocky relationship saddened fans, who took to social media to express their upset.
Now, with their pregnancy announcement, fans are hopeful for a brighter chapter for Jesy and Zion as they prepare to welcome twins into their lives.
Congratulations to the couple!
