January 19Jan 19 I can't believe all the things that keep happening credit to her she's one strong woman! I wasn't sure her and Zion would last because they seemed to have a fair few rocky patches and split up before but who knows maybe in time they can reconnect they are both dealing with so much at the moment.
January 19Jan 19 Author Wow I thought she’d be at home sad today but instead she’s been out campaigning. I’m genuinely in awe of her, the strength!
January 20Jan 20 Author Loved this, Jesy comes across great and so mature. Love how she acknowledged that this should not have gained attention just because she has a certain amount of followers, when other families of those with SMA have been campaigning for years.It is a shame we didn't get to see the private conversation.Yesterday I met with Health Secretary Wes Streeting to discuss my campaign for all babies in the UK to be tested for Spinal Muscular Atrophy at birth, a cause that has become deeply personal after my girls were diagnosed with this life changing condition.My hope is that no family has to wait for answers, and that every child can access treatment as early as possible. Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far and to all the families that have been fighting for this for years, your voices are helping us push for real change.

January 22Jan 22 Author She just posted a story saying to be tuned in for 7pm. Are we getting the trailer?! Edited January 22Jan 22 by Slayer
January 22Jan 22 Author WOW! It looks amazing!!Isn't it crazy how the universe works, and how it's all divine timing? Last year, I decided that when I fell pregnant, I wanted to document everything. I wanted to let cameras into my life and my home, and film what I thought was going to be a really exciting, fun little experience into motherhood that me and my girls could one day sit down and watch back for memories when they are older.But little did 1 know the journey I was about to embark on.From being told I was having twins, to then finding out I hadTTTS, a rare condition that affects only a small percentage of identical twins and that my babies' survival rate was next to nothing without treatment, to then living in hospital for three months, having my babies early, and being on the neonatal ward for over a month. Bringing them home honestly felt like a dream, like we were finally out of the trenches.It has honestly been one of the hardest, most painful times in my life that I've ever had to go through, let alone document.I'm so incredibly proud of this docu-series, and | cannot wait for my fans, and for everyone who has followed my journey, to see this.I'll be completely honest... I've only ever watched this series once because it's genuinely too emotional for me to watch right now. But when I did watch it, I saw everything through a completely different lens, now knowing what | know about my girls and their diagnosis. Nobody could have ever prepared me for what was about to come when I started filming.But one thing I do know when watching it is how incredibly proud 1 am of my girls, and how utterly inspiring they are; from their resilience, their strength, their constant fight, and their sheer happiness that they show me day in, day out.There may well come a time in the near future when my beautiful girls turn to me and say, "Mummy, I don't think | can do that," and if that day ever comes, I'll sit them down in front of the TV and play them this footage. And I'll turn to them and say, "My darlings, you CAN and you WILL!!!"' Edited January 22Jan 22 by Slayer
January 25Jan 25 I worry she's going to completely derail the goodwill she's built up (again) from Little Mix fans with these 'telling MY side of the story' soundbites.If any of this doc is painting the other three girls in a bad light then she's blown it again.
January 25Jan 25 I agree , like i really feel for her with her mental health , the babies and splitting up with fiance but if she goes back to the slagging off again it really is hard to sympathise with that 😬
January 25Jan 25 I dunno.I think it will be closer to 'Odd One Out' in that rather than being 'her side of the story' it will be more of an insight to showing what her mindset was when ahe left and why.Because so far nobody has gone into much detail. Like to look at their final performance together - the professionals that they are, they killed it. Then she was gone.It will probably look at what led up to that point, the final straw, some clarity on what happened aeohnd the Sweet Melody shoot etc
Friday at 15:415 days Can’t say I was too enamoured by the trailer for the documentary to be honest and like others I kind of worry that she’s about to shred any remaining remainants of goodwill the fanbase had for her.Her work in raising awareness on SMA is super admirable though- she really hasn’t had it easy and I will always hope that she is able to be happy and well.
Friday at 17:455 days Author She removed the engagement post from her Instagram, so it looks like she’s definitely single.
Friday at 19:305 days It's such a lot to be going through and still she's going on TV spreading awareness, credit to her she's been coming across so well in all these recent interviews. I genuinely don't know how she's doing it juggling everything going on and now the added break up.
Yesterday at 00:131 day Author THEIR sisterhood inspired a resurgence of girl power not seen since the Spice Girls, but Jesy Nelson’s unexpected exit from Little Mix marked the end of their once solid friendship.Now for the first time ever, there’s hope of reconciliation for Jesy and former bandmates Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock following a six-year feud – and it’s all thanks to her twin daughters who were recently diagnosed with a life-threatening condition.They have healed a part of me which I never thought was possible,” Jesy told The Sun.The Woman Like Me singer admits the door is open to a possible reunion after “finding her purpose” through motherhood, which helped her let go of “irrelevant and ridiculous” worries – and she’s even made up with music mogul Simon Cowell. While she won’t directly answer whether she has spoken to the Little Mix girls in recent months, Jesy said: “We’re all mums now and I can’t speak on behalf of them, but I’d like to think that we probably see things a lot differently now.“I think you do, just as you get older anyway, but you know, never say never. I have so much love for them and always will.“So never say never [to a reconciliation].Now in a new docuseries on Prime Video, Jesy will speak for the first time about how their once united quartet imploded.Speaking to The Sun ahead of the release of Life After Little Mix on February 13, Jesy said: “It’s always been tough when people have asked me questions about Little Mix, but one thing I loved when I made this series was reflecting back on the most incredible times that I had in the group.It was so lovely to sit and watch all the footage and stuff that people have never even seen of archive footage of me and Little Mix and it was really nice to be reminded of all the beautiful times that I had with them. “Not that I’d forgotten about them, but when you’ve been out of it for so long, you do sometimes forget how amazing it was.“I’ve obviously been through lots with the girls, but the majority of my time in Little Mix was incredible. “I’ve never spoken horrendously about Little Mix. “Even though I’ve had crappy times in terms of my mental health and what being in the band did to me, our sisterhood, my relationship that I had with them and the years I did spend with them were amazing.“That’s the reason why Little Mix were so successful because we genuinely were like sisters at one point, we were genuinely best friends.“It was really lovely to reminisce and talk so positively about my time in the band because I think for quite a while now it’s always felt negative, and so it was nice to really talk about my experience in a positive way with them and reflect back on everything.”She even tuned into her old boss’s Netflix show, Simon Cowell: The Next Act, which followed him forming a new boyband December 10. “I actually spoke to Simon recently because he reached out,” Jesy reveals.“He called me, he reached out to me when I had the girls’ diagnosis.“We had a good long old chat and we actually spoke about his new Netflix show. I did watch it and I actually really enjoyed it.“The part I really enjoyed was when he got all the parents in the room and he said to them, ‘you know, I just want to be completely honest with you, like this is what this entails and do you really want your children to go through this?’ “Because, you know, no one did that for us when we got into the band. And so I really loved that, I loved that he did that and I respected that.”For Jesy, motherhood was never on the cards.It’s wild”, laughs Jesy.“It’s as if the universe thought, ‘you don’t want kids? Alright well I’ll give you two’. “I never had one maternal bone in my body and then I got pregnant which was not planned. But as soon as I found out I was pregnant I had this overwhelming feeling of happiness.“Since becoming a mum, my daughters have made me the person I’ve always wanted to be.“I felt for such a long time I was lost and searching for my purpose.“Then suddenly they came along and they’re just everything to me now and it felt like I didn’t matter, they were my whole heart and soul. “For me, all that stuff I used to worry and care about felt so irrelevant and ridiculous to me with everything that was going on.“You have to become superhuman.”Since splitting from her former fiance Zion, who features heavily in the docuseries, the exes are navigating co-parenting.“Me and Zion are still friends,” Jesy says.“We’re still united in bringing our children up and co-parenting together. That’s our main focus. “Our girls are our main focus and we just want to give them the best life and give them positive energy and that’s what we are focusing on right now and I think we’re doing a really good job at it.” Zion moved out of Jesy’s £3million mansion in Essex.Jesy explained: “He lives an hour and a bit away from me. “We’re still navigating it but, like I said, we’re still united in being the best co-parents that we can be and I think that’s all we can do right now. “The girls are our whole priority.”However, for Jesy – who briefly embarked on a solo career – it’s pushed her further away from her passion for music.“I’m not sure I was ever made for this industry,” she admits.“It’s never smooth sailing, you never know what’s going to happen.“With everything that’s going on right now and with my girls, I can’t even look that far ahead, but I’ll always love music.“I’ve learnt so much and I’m so grateful for everything that I’ve been through because it’s made me who I am. I wouldn’t be where I am now without all the stuff that I’ve been through. “I’m also just very grateful that I’m now able to give my girls the best life possible.“I never ever have any regrets about anything that’s happened in my life because I truly believe that everything leads you to where you’re meant to be in your life.”For now, Jesy is working tirelessly to raise awareness of SMA and campaigning for the condition to be added to the NHS newborn heel-prick test, which currently screens for ten other conditions.The Brit Award-winner hopes her petition will force the Government to enforce a non- invasive £4 blood test at birth.It could help avoid 33 babies a year left needing a wheelchair for life.“It’s been really, really tough, but I’m just so grateful for them because they’ve changed my whole life.“Yes it’s hard and there’s definitely things that I wish were different, but at the same time I’ve got them and they’re still here and they’ve been through so much. I’m in awe of them every single day. They’re the ultimate survivors.”“I’ve definitely had my days when I’ve screamed and shouted,” Jesy admits. “It’s so hard, but I feel like if I keep doing that then I’ll never move forward. “My main focus right now is to move forward and to make change and raise awareness about this so that no other family ever has to go through this heartbreak.“For years, the whole SMA community has been shouting about this and no one’s taken it seriously.“I believe this was the path I was meant to be on. “This is what was meant to happen to me. Regardless of their diagnosis, the girls have just made my life.“They give me so much purpose and for so many years of my life I’ve felt so lost and now I don’t feel that. They’re the reason I get up every day now.“With all the s*** they’ve had to go through, it just puts everything into perspective and the s*** that I used to worry about and care about is just so irrelevant to me now too.“They have healed that part of me, which I never thought was possibleI’m so lucky to just have those girls because they are just… I don’t have enough words to explain how much I love them.”
11 hours ago11 hr 2 hours ago, Slayer said:Part 1 out now, Part 2 is out on Friday.This was emotional!Just wow she really is incredible. Obviously she's made mistakes but the way she is conducting herself and genuinely cares / is fighting for change whilst dealing with it all herself is just so admirable. I genuinely think her own demons as a result of the endless trolling is the main cause of her mistakes if I'm honest like the black fishing / the way she left Little Mix etc when you look back were probably fuelled by her severe insecurities rather than ignorance or just being a bit of a d*ck.
