The former Little Mix star – who split from her fiancé Zion Foster three months ago – was careful not to reveal her plus one’s face
Jesy Nelson has sparked rumours she’s dating again after enjoying a day at a swanky hotel spa with a mystery man.
The former Little Mix star – who split from her fiancé Zion Foster three months ago – took to social media to share some snaps of her trip but was careful not to reveal her plus one’s face.
In one snap, the mum-of-two gave fans a glimpse of the swimming pool featuring an impressive stone centre piece. A man could be seen at the side of the pool, but only his arms and legs were visible. Jesy shared another photo in which they could be seen enjoying cocktails.
Jesy and Zion announced their engagement last year, but in January it was confirmed they’d split just weeks after the singer told fans their twin girls had been diagnosed with a life-threatening condition.
Jesy, 34, confirmed the traumatic experience took its toll on their relationship. Speaking this week, she said: “We have been through such a traumatic experience and for us, our girls are our main priority and our main focus.”
The singer explained they wanted to give their daughters “the most positive, happy and uplifting time and energy” but the strain affected their dynamic. She added: “The energy wasn’t right between us, which is understandable.”
Despite their split, the former couple remain committed to co-parenting their daughters. Jesy told the Daily Mail they are “still friends and still united” in raising their children.
Jesy recently shared her girls will undergo more tests amid their battle with Spinal Muscular Atrophy. The pair were diagnosed with the genetic neuromuscular disease in January, and she has been relentless as she raises awareness about the condition that weakens the muscles by affecting the motor nerve cells in the spinal cord.
The type the adorable tots have is the most common and the most severe. It means that those with it, including little Ocean and Story, have a life expectancy that is estimated at less than two years without medical intervention. With the infants set for more tests, she took time out to show off their incredible growing curls.
Jesy joked that their long hair made them look like a “Cabbage Patch doll” as she had fun with her girls before showing her younger fans exactly what she meant. She’s in a great mood, and there’s little wonder why after getting some positive news from her campaigning. The singer celebrated the ‘major milestone’ and said she is ‘really proud’ how far things have come.
“I just wanted to come on here to share some information and news that I have heard over the last couple of days,” she said. “As you know I’ve been campaigning to try and get SMA as part of the newborn screening here in England. My girls were diagnosed with SMA Type 1 and unfortunately they weren’t tested at birth because it wasn’t here in England.
“They have now decided to roll that out in October for all babies in England to be tested at birth for SMA, which is absolutely incredible. I know it is a really big moment for the SMA community because this has been going on for years trying to get this passed, so yeah it is a real proud moment.”
The Mirror is also campaigning for all newborn babies to be tested for SMA so they can be given new treatments which are effectively a cure – if administered at birth.
The star told us after the news: “It’s just bittersweet because we’re not fully there yet. It’s like literally a postcode lottery because it’s not the whole of England. There’ll be 163,000 babies that won’t get screened – and that is a lot of babies. If you live in a certain part of the country you’re not going to get tested.
“There are truly life changing treatments out there so no baby should be an experiment – showing what the difference is. This shouldn’t even be a thing. All babies should be getting tested and all babies should be living.”
There are now three treatments that stop the disease progressing currently approved on the NHS . The first Nusinersen, which has a brand name Spinraza, is injected directly into the spinal chord every four months, and encourages the body to produce more SMN protein.
Evrysdi is taken as a liquid every day for life to increase the production of the SMN protein. Zolgensma, a one-off infusion, carries a healthy copy of the SMN1 gene to the brain and nerve cells, where it delivers the SMN protein. However these treatments are usually administered too late and cannot reverse disability once nerve damage has been done.
