Who is Jesy Nelson’s boyfriend Zion Foster? The rapper, 26, who is dating former Little Mix star, 33, as pair announce they are expecting twins

Jesy Nelson announced she is expecting twins with her ex-boyfriend Zion Foster after sharing a photo of her growing baby bump on Instagram on Sunday.

The pair reportedly split in September, but in the loved-up photo, Zion posed with his hand on the singer’s stomach as she wrote that she is now “eating for three.”

So who is the Little Mix star’s musician boyfriend?

Originally from South London, 26-year-old Zion was born and raised by his mother in a Nigerian household and grew up listening to gospel music.

It was his football coach who then introduced the star to rap influences when he started listening to Chris Brown, Lil Wayne and Usher.

Zion then decided to pursue music when he started recording his own music and sharing it online via SoundCloud.

The pair reportedly split in September, but in the loved-up photo, Zion posed with his hand on the singer’s stomach as she wrote that she is now “eating for three.”

His hit Get This Girl was streamed more than 250,000 times on the platform in 2015 and the musician now has more than 429,000 listeners on Spotify.

Zion also has over 205,000 followers on Instagram, and in an interview with New Wave Mag six years ago he explained that he always wants to give his fans the strength to strive for more.

He told the publication: ‘For me it’s everything! The worst thing anyone can do with their life is spend it on something they don’t want to do: life doesn’t last long!

“Many of us get caught up in the illusion of things that don’t matter.

‘I just want people to understand that it doesn’t matter whether you’re rich or poor, whether you look like the richest man in the world, whether you look like the poorest man in the world, whether you eat Hakkasan or McDonald’s – we’re all going the same ground and we all die. So we have to make the best of it!’

Prior to Sunday’s announcement, Jesy and the rapper dated for about 18 months before calling it off in November 2023.

The couple quickly got back together before splitting again five months ago, but they hinted at another reunion when they shared a cozy snap announcing their pregnancy.

Jesy and Zion previously split last summer after Jesy struggled with their seven-year age difference.

However, they reunited and the pair recently collaborated on songs, one of which was revealed in August and the others yet to be released.

Following reports of their divorce, Zion confirmed that they had split, while commenting on an OK! TikTok post: “Beautiful woman inside and out, wish her nothing but the best.”

Fans were saddened by the news. They wrote: ‘Aww sad looked like a beautiful couple’ and ‘No I was so excited for their tunes’.

“She deserves to be treated like the beautiful person she is” and “Omg I’m shocked. They seemed so good together.’

When their split was reported, a source said The sun: ‘Jesy and Zion broke up last month and have completely severed ties with each other. It’s not the first time they’ve broken up, but friends think it’s for good this time.

‘It’s a bit difficult because they had an EP ready with music they made together and Jesy doesn’t want it to come out now.

Jesy confirmed she got back together with boyfriend Zion in November 2023 after previously splitting three months earlier after nine months of dating.

The pair were first pictured together in January 2023, after it was reported in 2022 that they had become close.
