She has been dating Zion, from South London, since November 2022 and in May he ran the London Marathon to raise money for the Twins Trust, which offers support to families with twins.

Speaking in the only interview during her pregnancy, Zion had said of the twins: “They’re giving us so much hope they’re going to come out healthy.

"Jesy and the twins have come through so much. There were so many times in this pregnancy we didn't think we'd get to where we are now.

““Their strength has been unmatched. We literally feel like we know them already just because of how much they've overcome.

“Their characters are so strong. They're so brave.”

Zion also said their recent ordeal living in a hospital in order to monitor the twins’ progress has brought them closer together.

“The same four walls are driving us a bit crazy,” he admitted.

“We've literally grown to understand each other on a deeper level. And I think we really understand how much we actually care about each other.

“I think it's at these times when you really, really know what love you have and what your relationship means.

“And I think for me and Jess, this has just taken it to a whole other level of us knowing we are literally made for each other.”

Jesy joins other Little Mix members who are already mothers. In 2021, Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock both gave birth to babies within a week of each other. Perrie welcomed a son named Axel with her fiancé Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Leigh-Anne welcomed twins with her husband Andre Gray.

Speaking last month he told the Mirror: “It's really been incredible, the level of support. It's been absolutely incredible.

“And I think just massive, massive, massive credit to Jesy, because obviously when these kinds of things happen, it's very difficult to actually share that.

“But Jess had the courage to say: ‘You know what? I want to put this story out there. I want to let people in. I want people to know it's not just about sharing the good moments. I want people to know the reality.’

“And just to see the response, people’s support, the amount of messages that just flooded in daily.

“Even after the operation, Jess was recovering and we didn't say anything for a while, people were asking: ‘Oh, is everything OK?’

"I think it's just been just so touching, and I don't know if the word is ‘motivational’, but it just really keeps us going.

“It helps our frame of mind and helps us just keep going day by day, just feeling supported and feeling love.”
