Jesy Nelson has announced that her newborn twins have finally come home for the first time on her birthday. The 34-year-old former Little Mix star welcomed daughters Ocean Jade Nelson-Foster and Story Monroe Nelson-Foster on 18 May with her boyfriend, Zion Foster.

‌
Now Jesy has made the lovely announcement that she and her girls are back home almost one full month on after their birth, and it was extra special as the date also happened to be her birthday.

Fans were delighted to see the girls home at last with one commenting: "They are both so beautiful! Happy birthday Jesy." While another added: "So happy you guys are all home together."
And a further fan wrote: "I knew they would make it home to be with you, precious miracle girls they did it for you.
‌
Last month, Jesy delighted fans when she reveled her children had arrived "healthy and fighting strong" after arriving prematurely.
She also recently shared her experience with the girls in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). She wrote in an online post: "Nothing or no one will ever be able to prepare you as a parent for NICU.
"It's the most scary overwhelming feeling of emotions not being able to feel like you can protect your babies.
‌
"Naturally as a mother you just want to hold them and comfort them when they cry but you can't because there are what feels like a million wires coming out of them. Tubes and masks in the way with people poking and prodding them, it breaks your heart into a million pieces.
"But slowly as the days go by and they get stronger and wires start to come away, moments like this feel like a dream." The Black Magic singer expressed her joy over the fact her children were brought back together following treatment.
‌
She explained: "Having them reunited for the first time ever today was the most magical feeling I will never be able to describe. The strongest little girls I've ever known who really do have the most inspiring story to tell."
Jesy and 25-year-old musician Zion first started dating in January 2022 and have had an on-off romance over the years. Zion has been at Jesy's side throughout her pregnancy and her lengthy stay in hospital.
Jesy is set to bare all about her challenging pregnancy in a candid Prime Video documentary, created by the same team behind Molly-Mae Hague's popular docu-series.
‌
The streaming service has announced a six-part series, Jesy Nelson: Life After Little Mix, which follows the former Little Mix star as she navigates motherhood.
The synopsis adds: "With her life in the public eye for over a decade as one-fourth of the global pop phenomenon Little Mix, Jesy has experienced the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. Now, she's ready to share her truth like never before," reports OK!.
