Former Little Mix singer Jesy Nelson has confirmed the birth of her twin daughters, saying she is "so blessed".
Nelson, 33, said her and her partner Zion Foster's twins had been named Ocean Jade and Story Monroe Nelson-Foster, and they were born on Thursday, in a post on Instagram.
Nelson said: "So, our beautiful baby girls decided to come at 31 weeks plus five days. It all happened so quickly, but we are so blessed that they are here with us, healthy and fighting strong.
"We’ve never felt more in love."
She had said: "Hey guys, so we just wanted to give you guys an update, because we know it’s been a while.
"I don’t know if you can see, we are still in hospital so I’ve been recovering, but we have some amazing news.
"The TTTS has cleared up, the operation was a success, which is just absolutely incredible. We are so, so lucky to have the most amazing doctors.
"Basically, the situation we’re in now is my cervix is very, very short, so I can’t leave the hospital because my waters could break at any point and I’m still very, very early.
"I can’t leave the hospital until I’m a certain amount of weeks, so every week we’re just like, 'please, please, please, stay in there’."
Nelson announced her pregnancy in January.
The singer left Little Mix in December 2020 after nine years in the successful girl group, which was formed on The X Factor in 2011, and also featured Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Perrie Edwards and Jade Thirlwall.
After she left, Nelson released her first solo single, Boyz, featuring Nicki Minaj, in 2021, followed by Bad Thing in 2023.
