Former Little Mix singer Jesy Nelson has announced the birth of her twin daughters.
In a post on Instagram, the 33-year-old said that two girls were born prematurely at 31 weeks on Thursday but said they were “healthy and fighting strong”.
Nelson said her and her partner Zion Foster were “so blessed” and had “never felt more in love”, sharing pictures of them holding the girls in hospital.
They have been named Ocean Jade and Story Monroe Nelson-Foster.
Nelson wrote: “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.”
Nelson previously revealed she had experienced rare complications during the twin pregnancy, which was first announced in January.
In March, she said she had undergone a “successful” operation to prevent complications related to twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS).
The condition is caused by abnormal connecting blood vessels in the twins’ placenta which leads to an imbalanced blood flow from one twin, known as the donor, to the recipient twin, leaving one baby with a greater blood volume than the other.
