Zion Foster praises his daughter as a resilient individual after his separation from Jesy Nelson. The 26-year-old singer had twins, Ocean and Story, with the 34-year-old Little Mix star in May 2025. However, their relationship ended shortly after their daughters were diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1 (SMA).
Jesy has been advocating for SMA1 screenings to be conducted at birth and included in the newborn blood spot screening test to ensure early detection. Zion recently shared a touching Instagram post, expressing his pride for his daughter Story’s strength.
Before news of their split surfaced, Zion publicly admired Jesy’s courage and labeled her as a superwoman. He emphasized the importance of testing newborns for SMA in the UK and acknowledged the support they have received from various communities.
Despite the challenges they face, Jesy and Zion remain focused on co-parenting their daughters. Jesy has been actively campaigning for SMA screenings, meeting with Health Secretary Wes Streeting to raise awareness about the condition’s impact on families.
Jesy’s emotional discussions about her daughters and the urgent need for SMA screenings have resonated with many. She is determined to ensure a better future for her children and is committed to working with Zion to provide the best possible life for their daughters.
The news of Jesy and Zion’s split comes after they announced their engagement a few months ago. Their relationship had experienced ups and downs, with a previous split attributed to their differing schedules and age gap.
Despite the breakup, both Jesy and Zion are united in their efforts to prioritize their daughters’ well-being. They continue to share a common goal of supporting their children and navigating the complexities of co-parenting.
