Jesy Nelson has revealed she has got engaged to her boyfriend Zion Foster four months after welcoming her twins.
The former Little Mix star, 34, took to Instagram on Thursday and shared a heartwarming snap showing off her new ring after Zion, 26, popped the question.
Zion proposed to Jesy during a romantic sunset trip to the beach with the singer sharing a close up shot of the sparkling diamond.
Alongside the post, she wrote: ‘Just got engaged to my best friend’.
Jesy and Zion began dating in January 2022 and have endured many breakups and reunions since.
The couple became parents in May when they welcomed twins Ocean Jade and Story Monroe.

Ocean Jade and Story Monroe were born at just 31 weeks old, after Jesy was diagnosed with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) – a rare condition that can put one or both babies at risk.
Before being released from hospital the twins had been receiving treatment in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
Jesy recently opened up about their premature births, telling fans: ‘Nothing or no one will ever be able to prepare you as a parent for NICU.
‘It’s the most scary overwhelming feeling of emotions not being able to feel like you can protect your babies.
‘Naturally as a mother you just want to hold them and comfort them when they cry but you can’t because there are what feels like a million wires coming out of them and tubes and masks in the way with people poking and prodding them, it breaks your heart into a million pieces.
‘Having them reunited for the first time ever today was the most magical feeling I will never be able to describe. The strongest little girls I’ve ever known who really do have the most inspiring story to tell.’
In March, Jesy had to undergo an emergency procedure after suffering complications and was advised to remain in hospital until she was at least 32 weeks into her pregnancy.
Throughout the ordeal, her partner Zion admitted he and Jesy, who was seven months pregnant at the time of her procedure, had ‘grown to understand each other on a deeper level‘.

He told OK!: ‘I think it’s at these times when you really, really know what love you have and what your relationship means.
‘And I think for me and Jess, this has just taken it to a whole other level of us knowing we are literally made for each other.’
He said the couple had also tried to make the hospital as much of a home as possible.
‘There’s a couch that turns into a bed that we pushed next to the hospital bed, so we’ve made our own double bed.
‘And it’s like we’ve moved in. The nurses just said, “Oh, my God. It looks so nice in here. It looks so homely.”‘
Jesy announced she was expecting twins with her boyfriend Zion back in January after rumours they had split.
Originally from South London, Zion was born and raised in a Nigerian household by his mother and grew up listening to Gospel music.
It was his football coach who then introduced the star to rap influences, and he began listening to Chris Brown, Lil Wayne and Usher.
Zion then decided to pursue music, recording his own tunes and sharing them online via SoundCloud.
