Jesy Nelson is going to be a mom!

The Little Mix alum, 33, announced in an Instagram post on Sunday, Jan. 12 that she is pregnant and hinted that she is expecting twins with fellow musician Zion Foster.

"She’s eating for 3 now 👶👶," the pair captioned the joint pregnancy announcement, which fans in the comments section believe is their way of revealing they have twins on the way.

In the instant-camera snap, the "Boyz" singer can be seen wearing a belly-revealing tank top as she stands next to Foster, who rests his hand on her stomach. Nelson also posted the image on her Instagram Stories, alongside two additional baby-face emojis.

Nelson and Foster have been linked since January 2022 and have been dating on and off since then, according to the Daily Mail. Their joint Instagram post marks the pair's first photos on the platform since November 2024, when Nelson shared a series of images of herself posing in front of a car alongside the caption, "Where we going then?"

In August 2024, Foster and Nelson released a new song together, called "Mine," and danced along to the track in a promotional TikTok at the time.

The two have also teased additional unreleased collaborations, including one in which Nelson referred to Foster as the "realest man I’ll ever meet."

Speaking with PEOPLE in December, Thirwall — who will be releasing a solo album in 2025 — detailed what it was like to reunite with Edwards and watch Pinnock perform a solo show of her own months prior.

"I'd never seen Leigh's show yet, and neither had Perrie," Thirwall, 32, said. "I had second-hand nerves. I was holding Perrie's hand, and we were like, 'This is so strange,' but the best feeling was to see Leigh up there. She's worked so hard."

"There was a lot of love in that room, and I was all choked-up — a proud sister moment," Thirwall added.
