Aged 26, Jesy and Zion haven't had the smoothest of relationships. The pair began dating in January 2022 but suddenly split in 2024 with reports suggesting their age gap of seven years got in the way. They also split briefly in 2023.

Who has Jesy Nelson dated?

Does Jesy Nelson have children?
Jesy delighted the world when she confirmed she was pregnant with twins early in 2025. She hasn't confirmed her due date yet but has recently revealed the pregnancy is tough going.
In an open and honest chat, she said the identical twins have a life-threatening condition and she's currently being monitored "very closely".
Jesy explained: "We wanted to let you in on our journey of what we've been going through. So we are having identical twins which is so exciting - we cannot believe it. But, unfortunately, there are complications that come with having identical twins.
"The type of twins we are having are called mono/di twins and so normally most twins will have two placentas that they feed off of. But when you have mono/di twins, that means your twins live off one placenta which can lead to lots of complications - one of them being one baby might take all the nutrients which, and it's really awful to say, but could lead to both babies dying."
What are Jesy Nelson's songs and what is her net worth?
Of course, Jesy dominated the charts with the Little Mix ladies including Jade Thirlwall, Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock but she's also gone on to have solo music too.
Her songs include:
- 'Boyz' featuring Nicki Minaj
- 'Bad Thing'
- 'Me'
Jesy has a rumoured net worth of £6.3million which is largely due to her music success.
