Singer Jesy Nelson has revealed she is engaged to musician Zion Foster, sharing the news with fans via social media this morning.
The 34-year-old former Little Mix member posted on Instagram to announce the proposal from her 26-year-old partner.
The couple's engagement comes just four months after they became parents to twin daughters. Ms Nelson chose to reveal the milestone moment by posting a photograph on the platform on Friday morning.
The announcement marks a significant personal development for the singer, who left the successful girl group in 2020.
Mr Foster, who works as a music artist, proposed to Ms Nelson in what appears to have been a carefully planned romantic gesture.
The relationship between the two has progressed rapidly since they welcomed their twin daughters earlier this year.
The couple, who have an eight-year age gap, became parents together despite their relatively recent partnership.
Their journey to parenthood occurred whilst Nelson was establishing her life away from the spotlight following her departure from Little Mix.
