Jesy Nelson shares new pictures of her twin baby daughters on a walk after opening up about their heartbreaking muscle weakening condition

Jesy Nelson has shared new pictures of her baby daughters on Wednesday after revealing their heartbreaking diagnosis.

The former Little Mix singer, 34, recently announced Ocean Jade and Story Monroe have been diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA1).

According to the NHS, the condition ‘is a rare genetic condition that can cause muscle weakness. It gets worse over time, but there are medicines and other treatments to help manage the symptoms’.

In a sweet update to fans, Jesy – who shares the twins with fiancé Zion Foster – shared a new snap of her little ones.

The twins could be seen in their stroller wrapped up warm from the cold on one of their ‘winter walks’.

Another snap taken from behind showed Jesy sporting a casual look as she pushed the girls whilst appearing to talk to a pal.

Meanwhile, on Monday, Jesy shared a picture of a clapperboard announcing her new show, Jesy Nelson: Life After Little Mix, will be released on February 13.

The show will see the star navigate the journey of motherhood as she prepares to welcome her twins.

A synopsis for the show reads: ‘Expecting twins, Jesy opens up about the joy, vulnerability, and fear that comes with carrying two little lives.

‘The series follows Jesy through the emotional roller coaster of pregnancy complications, including Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome, a rare and potentially life-threatening condition.

‘With weekly hospital visits, candid conversations, and the unwavering support of her loved ones, Jesy navigates the highs and lows of pregnancy, confronting her deepest fears while embracing a newfound strength.

‘But this journey isn’t just about motherhood; she needs to confront her past, too. In this series, she will open up about the life-altering decision to leave Little Mix in 2020, breaking her silence on the relentless pressures of fame, her battle with mental health, and the controversies that followed.’

Ahead of the release, Jesy told Amazon: ‘We opened the doors fully, and I’m really looking forward to letting you all in as I navigate my way to becoming a first-time mum to our beautiful baby girls, Ocean and Story.

‘I’ll be honest, it’s not been easy as it’s been such a high-risk pregnancy, so you’ll see all the highs and lows and rollercoaster of emotions we have been going through.

‘I hope you will all join me on this journey as I really open up and say goodbye to the past and enter this new chapter in my life. I hope you love it as much as we do.’

Last weekend Jesy shared a clip of one of her twin daughters with a feeding tube after revealing their muscle weakness diagnosis.

In the clip, Jesy coos at her daughter who squeals and laughs in response while tucked up in a baby bouncer chair. Her daughters have feeding tubes in their noses to help clear their chests.

Alongside the post, the pop star wrote: ‘So in love with her little laugh.’

Last Wednesday Jesy broke down in tears on This Morning as she shared a heartbreaking update on their condition

She admitted that her home now ‘looks like a hospital’ after learning how to look after her twins and cater to their complex needs as she shared the most difficult aspects of the diagnosis.

Getting very emotional about her girls, Jesy said: ‘We’ve been told that they will probably never walk, they’ll probably never regain their neck strength. They are gonna be in wheelchairs.

‘There’s been so many stories where parents have been told this and then their children have gone on to do incredible things, so I believe that you’ve just got to manifest that.

‘They are still smiling, they’re still happy. They have each other, and that’s like the main thing that I’m like so grateful for because they could be doing this by themselves, but they’re twins and they’re going through this together.

‘My whole life has just completely changed. If you came to my house, it looks like a hospital.

‘My whole hallway is filled up with medical stuff and it’s just crazy how you can go from one extreme to the next.

‘Story has to be on a breathing machine at night because she isn’t strong enough to breathe by herself at night, they have to have cough assists machines to help them cough, I have to put feeding tubes down their nose to like get out secretions off their chest.

‘I’ve had to learn this within the space of a few days of getting their diagnosis, and it’s just so much to deal with while you’re also trying to deal with this like horrendous thing that’s just happened and still be a mum as well.

‘That’s the part that I really, I’m still struggling with it, I won’t lie, but that is the part that like really gets me, is I just want to be their mum, I don’t want to be a nurse.

‘All I can do is just try my best to be there for them. Give them positive energy.’
