Jesy Nelson's ex-boyfriend 'confirms' split with 11-word statement

Jesy Nelson's former flame, Zion Foster, has taken to the digital world to confirm their split. The 25-year-old musician expressed his support for Jesy, 33, on TikTok, as he let their fans in on the breakup news. Under a video uploaded on OK!'s official account discussing the duo's romance, Zion commented: "Beautiful woman inside and out, wish her nothing but the best." This touching tribute to Jesy prompted reactions from followers, with one sharing: "I've been crying all day since I heard this shocking news."

Another chimed in: "Aww sad looked like a lovely couple.", reports OK! One particularly disappointed fan wrote: "Noooooo, I was so excited for their tunes." While another offered well wishes: "Bless her I hope she is good. Love her and her music." Still coming to terms with the announcement, another fan expressed surprise: "Omg. I'm shocked. They seemed so good together." (sic). The split follows the pair's collaboration on duets, one of which they had teased to their admirers just last month. Speculation about their relationship status had been rife among fans on social media platforms.

Signs of their once-public romance have vanished from their Instagram profiles, and an insider confided to The Sun that the couple parted ways last month.

The source disclosed: "Jesy and Zion split last month and have completely cut ties with each other."

It was further suggested by friends of the two that "think it's for good this time".

"It's slightly awkward though because they had an EP ready of music they have made together and Jesy doesn't want it released now," they revealed.

Jesy, famed for her tenure with Little Mix before her exit in 2020 to pursue a solo journey, is currently stateside working on fresh tracks. Her recent tune 'Mine', which dropped in August and features Zion, soared into the top 10 of the UK's iTunes charts. Yet Jesy has wiped the single's cover art from her Instagram space.

Earlier in the year, Jesy and Zion showed no shortage of affection, enjoying a dreamy holiday in Australia in March, complete with beach escapades and sun-drenched relaxation.

The pair became an item in late 2022, united by their mutual passion for music but called time on their nine-month romance in August 2023.
