Jesy Nelson and her baby girls have finally made it home!
On Saturday, June 14, the Little Mix alum shared in an Instagram post that she and the twin daughters she shares with boyfriend Zion Foster — named Ocean and Story — were discharged from the hospital, just in time for Nelson’s 34th birthday.
“My babies made it home for my birthday 🥹🤍,” Nelson wrote, alongside a black-and-white photo of herself gazing at her daughters.
The news came after Nelson spent months in the hospital during her pregnancy after her doctors discovered the twins were monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA), meaning they shared a single placenta.
The baby girls were eventually born at 31 weeks on May 15, the singer previously announced, and had been in the hospital since then.
Nelson first revealed her pregnancy on Instagram on Jan. 12, sharing a Polaroid-style photo of herself and her musician boyfriend with the caption: “She’s eating for 3 now 👶👶.”

Months later, in March, Nelson spoke about the twins’ medical condition, explaining in an emotional video at the time that “one baby might take all the nutrients” from the placenta, or “the other might, which — really awful to say — could lead to both babies dying.”
A few days later, Nelson shared an update in which she revealed she was experiencing symptoms that doctors had advised her to “watch out for,” including her stomach tightening and difficulty breathing. She captioned the video “TTTS update,” referring to twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome.
After a checkup at the hospital, Nelson said doctors determined that “they have to perform [a] procedure” to fix the twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome — “which is obviously not what we wanted to happen.” She added, “But it’s necessary because it’s going to give our babies the best chance of surviving.”
In April, Nelson shared an update on her emergency procedure on her Instagram Stories, filmed from her hospital room.
“We just wanted to come on here because we are another week further along and we feel so grateful and blessed that these little babies are still going strong,” she said at the time.

The “Boyz” singer finally revealed in a May 18 Instagram post that she had welcomed her twins.
“So … Our beautiful baby girls decided to come at 31 weeks plus 5 days,” she and Foster wrote in the caption of the joint post. “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 🥹.”
“Everybody, meet Ocean Jade Nelson-Foster and Story Monroe Nelson-Foster. Born on 15.05.2025 🌊📖,” the proud parents added.
Nelson has shared a few updates since then, including another lengthy Instagram post in which she opened up about what it was like to watch her children stay in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for weeks on end.
“Nothing or no one will ever be able to prepare you as a parent for NICU,” she wrote in part on May 25. “It’s the most scary overwhelming feeling of emotions not being able to feel like you can protect your babies.”
“But slowly as the days go by and they get stronger and wires start to come away, moments like this feel like a dream,” she continued. “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 🤍.”
