Jesy Nelson Dating Former Flame of Lydia Bright
The split of Little Mix’s singer Jesy Nelson, age 35, with the man who fathered her two children was followed by a new romance that she’s in with Jesy Nelson’s ex-boyfriend, according to reports. An Instagram post of Jesy showed her being cuddled in a romantic setting; a bit far to the left of the picture, one arm was shown tattooed.
According to the report, Jesy’s new man is called Ben Davies, a landscape gardener living in Essex who went out with TOWIE OG Lydia for one whole year in 2024. About 5 weeks before she posted the picture on Sunday, a star had already been following Ben and Jesy on Instagram. Throughout their relationship, Lydia showed off several romantic moments with her tattooed partner Ben.
Jesy Moves On After Split From Zion Foster
Jesy parted ways with the musician Zion, 27, earlier this year not too long after Ocean, Jade, and Story Monroe (Jesy’s and Zion’s daughters) were diagnosed with the rare genetic condition called Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Type 1. She had also hinted at a new man in April, but there was some confusion. The couple wasn’t identified.
One month ago Zion defended himself from the allegations that he ran away from his twin daughters Story and Ocean, with whom he was diagnosed with SMA. In January 2026 it was discovered that Story and Ocean have a hereditary illness that leads to progressive muscle weakness. The time frame surrounding the diagnosis is captured on the documentary Jesy Nelson: Life Changing, which will be released on Amazon Prime.

Another moment she observed showed her that Zion was literally battling the harsh truth of her very ill medical condition at that point. He said, “I absolutely have no idea what to do here. I am emotionally, and maybe even physically or mentally, far removed from my comfort zone. All I am able to do at the moment is just handle the daily routine. I definitely need to come up with a solution and receive support.”
Jesy then said, ‘He is definitely going through a really hard time. Putting a 26-year-old through something like this… I could almost be sure he is having flashbacks to his whole life. Zion was the father of this young girl, while Jesy was one of the other people who came on the show with them. By next month, they would have called it quits, Jesy revealing she was now living with only her mom. She added, “We are both asking, “Fuck, how are we going to make it through this?’ And we will because we don’t have a choice. There is really no choice. This is just so bloody hard.” Zion’s comments drew criticism, so he used his Instagram Stories to clear up the matter.
He posted, “I should make it clear I was referring to how a rare and complicated condition was suddenly throwing my unprepared life into upheaval when I said I was ‘out of my depth.'” ‘What I mean is facing a sudden disease of the type I had never thought about at the same time I have my kids, and I know I have to take care of them.

I realized I was on a learning journey. It simply meant I was going through the process to learn, and the fact that I was not at all loving my daughters and that I was never going to be there for them was very far from reality.” He said, “I think of my daughters more than words can ever be as the means of expressing my love. They represent my whole life, and I am confident that it will still be in the future.” After that statement, he recorded a video for his new song, which is about the words of the lyrics: “Out of my depth.” On the other hand, Zion discussed how Jesy was the one to propose breaking up, which she admitted during the program: “I thought that we would be better off being apart.” He said, “Even if I don’t take issue with that, it is a fact that I still love my daughters in every way that I can. ‘This has been such a heartbreak not only to me but also to my girls, and we are not prepared for this type of news. We have to get through it ourselves.’ Jesy explained in the documentary that she and Zion had no choice but to get separated. Jesy mentioned, “We have both been through very traumatic experiences. I reckon it is pretty obvious that if such situations arise, couples have to split.”

“I don’t think it’s a surprise that we’ve ended it,” said Jesy. “One way or another, the two people in a relationship will either be a team or it will divide and destroy you,” she said. It’s only sad and unfortunate that the girl thinks a breakup happened between them. Jesy stated that there are no hard feelings between her and her old boyfriend, but her most important thing is being a good mother to her daughters. You know, I just hope to be one of the inspiring mother types who is always an encouraging and positive example as much as possible.
The former couple’s house was very unharmonious. According to the couple’s friends, the two have very different ways of handling the situation, and the couple’s arguments have resulted from that.
