NEWLY single Jesy Nelson today joked that she’s “not always a haggard mum” as she revealed her glam makeover.
The former Little Mix star, 34, has had a tough time lately after she split from her fiance Zion Foster, and also having her twin daughters being diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1.
But today the mum-of-two showed off her glam makeover, as she enjoyed some pamper time after a gruelling month.
Jesy looked incredible in the photo, which she posted on her Instagram.
The singer had her trademark curly hair styled to perfection, and her make-up had been expertly applied.
The star completed her sexy look with a lowcut black crop top.
Jesy captioned her post: “Not always a haggard old Mum thanks to my @zoejamesmakeup.”
TOUGH TIME
Jesy treated herself to the glam makeover after enduring an incredibly tough time lately.
This includes her break-up with fiance Zion, after only getting engaged four months ago.
When news of their split emerged, a source told The Sun: “Jesy and Zion remain friends and are fully focused on their daughters.”
The insider added that the former couple are “united in co-parenting”, Zion and Jesy have been focusing on the wellbeing of their twins.
The new parents have been coming to terms with their two daughters, Ocean and Story, being diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1 — the most severe form of a rare disease affecting muscle strength and movement.
Jesy and Zion have been told it is unlikely the girls will ever walk, and may face serious breathing and swallowing difficulties.
Symptoms of SMA depend on which type of condition, but the most common include floppy or weak arms and legs, as well as swallowing and breathing problems.
If untreated, the life expectancy of a baby with SMA Type 1 is two years.
Early intervention is considered critical in limiting long-term impacts.
If the twins had been tested and treated in time, there is a chance they would have avoided disability.
It is now unlikely they will regain their neck strength after the disease caused nerve cells to die, leading to progressive muscle weakness.
Ocean and Story are under the care of Great Ormond Street Hospital in central London and have received treatment, including a one-off gene-therapy infusion approved by the NHS.
‘TRAUMATIC MOMENTS’
Meanwhile, in the wake of their split, Jesy’s ex Zion shared a candid post about “traumatic moments” and “stress”.
It came following the release of the first trailer for the singer’s new Amazon Prime docu-series; Jesy Nelson: Life After Little Mix, Zion has shared an insight into what went on behind the cameras.
Sharing the trailer, Zion wrote: “It’s finally here, coming to your screens via @primevideouk & @navybee.tv.
“The past year and a half has been a rollercoaster. When @jesynelson and I started this project we couldn’t see the road ahead, but to see how it all played out and having it filmed simply feels like God’s plan. The show is raw, authentic and honest.”
Continuing to reference their daughters Ocean Jade and Story Munroe’s diagnosis, Zion admitted it has been a “traumatic” time.
He said: “As a new family we were under immense pressure and stress. Alot of traumatic moments but nonetheless we made it here today. I believe this is only the beginning of our journey.
“Praying for clarity, peace and growth so we can continue to navigate the challenges we face; and give Ocean and Story the best support system possible. God’s in control”.
