Jesy Nelson<\/a> has finally broken her silence on why she and fianc\u00e9 Zion Foster have split, just four months after they got engaged.<\/p>\n In a new interview with the Daily Mail<\/a>, the 34-year-old former Little Mix singer explained that the \u201ctraumatic\u201d events of the last few months caused their relationship to collapse. The split comes just weeks after the couple revealed their twin daughters, Ocean Jade and Story Monroe, have been diagnosed with SMA Type 1, a rare and severe genetic condition.<\/p>\n Jesy admitted that the pressure of the diagnosis shifted the dynamic between her and Zion, 27.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have been through such a traumatic experience and for us, our girls are our main priority,\u201d she said. \u201cThe energy wasn\u2019t right between us, which is understandable. We are still friends and we are still united in co-parenting our daughters.\u201d<\/p>\n Jesy also revealed she initially had reservations when she unexpectedly fell pregnant, questioning whether Zion, then 25, was ready to become a first-time father to twins.<\/p>\n She added that while they are no longer together, they are focused on giving their girls the most \u201cuplifting time\u201d possible.<\/p>\n The news is especially devastating given the complicated journey Jesy had to motherhood. During her pregnancy, she dealt with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), a life-threatening condition where babies share a placenta.<\/p>\n While the twins were born healthy, Jesy\u2019s world was turned upside down six months later when they were diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy. Jesy is now campaigning for all newborns to be tested for SMA at birth, admitting she feels \u201cangry\u201d that the condition wasn\u2019t caught earlier when treatment is most effective.<\/p>\n The breakup is set to feel even more poignant for fans as Jesy\u2019s new Prime Video series, Jesy Nelson: Life After Little Mix, is about to drop.<\/p>\n The docuseries follows her entire pregnancy journey and features Zion heavily. Just months ago, she was calling him her \u201cbest friend\u201d and the person who \u201cmakes me feel like everything is going to be okay.\u201d<\/p>\n Despite the heartbreak, Jesy says she\u2019s staying present: \u201cIf I try to look too far into the future, I will drive myself crazy. The girls are doing really well and they\u2019re happy, that\u2019s all I can really ask for.\u201d<\/p>\n For more like this, <\/i>like The Tab on Facebook<\/a><\/i><\/b>.<\/i><\/p>\n Featured image credit: Instagram<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n<\/blockquote>\n
