Jesy Nelson was seen breaking down in tears during her first interview following her split from her fiance, Zion Foster. The two have called off their engagement after the births of their twin daughters, who were later diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1 (SMA).

Appearing on This Morning, Jesy met with Health Secretary Wes Streeting to discuss her campaign to have SMA as one of the conditions that all newborns are screened for. It is the first time Jesy has been seen since the sad news about her and Zion emerged.

Jesy broke down in tears as she discussed her daughters and the impact she hoped to have on helping other mums avoid a similar diagnosis to her girls. The newly single star added that she wants to be her daughters’ mother rather than their ‘nurse’ as she navigates the challenges ahead.

Talking to both the camera and Wes, Jesy said she could see the impact their off screen discussion had on Wes. “I know it really impacted you because it’s when you see it in real life and you see the severity of it, and it’s literally a case of your child could walk or your child could be in a wheelchair.”

Struggling to hold back the tears, she finished: “I feel so passionately about this, because no parent should have to go through that.” Jesy later said she hopes Wes “puts his money where his mouth is” and speeds up SMA screenings.

The singer has been campaigning for SMA1 screenings to take place from birth and get the condition added to the newborn blood spot screening test, also known as the heel prick test, after learning that her twins will likely never be able to walk.

The singer was careful to hide her hands during the chat after fans had spotted she wasn’t wearing her engagement ring during her first appearance on This Morning earlier this month.

Despite her heartache, Jesy is said to be committed to co-parenting with Zion and the pair have both shared their hopes of giving their daughters the best quality of life they can.

News of the split came just months after they happily shared their engagement with fans. The two had an on and off again relationship, breaking up for the first time in 2022 but getting back together.

During their first split, a source told the Mirror it was down to their schedules and the eight-year age gap between them. The insider said at the time: “Jesy is in a different head space from Zion these days. She is after all a few years older than Zion and has a different way of looking at things these days. They had a great trip abroad but since they got back, Jesy has realised it’s time to move on.”

They got back together and broke up a few more times over the years, until January 2025, when they announced they were expecting twins. Jesy announced the news via Instagram, where she shared a picture of her baby bump, with the caption: “She’s eating for three now.”

The twins were born in May and a few months later, in September, Jesy and Zion announced their engagement. They continued to show their affection for each other on social media. As such, fans were shocked by reports of their split.

However, there were signs. In an appearance on This Morning to talk about her daughters’ devastating SMA diagnosis, Jesy was not wearing her engagement ring.

This came only weeks after the star opened up to the world about her daughters’ health battle. The twins, Ocean Jade and Story Monroe, have a genetic condition which kills muscles in the body over time. Jesy shared the news over Instagram.

In a video, she tearfully said: “I am grieving a life I thought I was going to have with my children.” She added that her life has been turned upside down and she is now acting as a nurse to her girls by “putting them on breathing machines and doing stuff that no mother should have to do with their child.”

The star explained how he’s been forced to “curb” a particular habit in his debut podcast interview about the New Year’s resolution he made at home.

Ant McPartlin has admitted that he has had to “curb” a particular habit at home, as he keeps getting “told off” by his other half, Anne-Marie Corbett. In what Fearne Cotton revealed was Ant and Dec’s first-ever podcast appearance this week (January 19), Ant shed light on a New Year’s resolution he’d made at home involving his young son.

In the episode, since the TV treasures were “podcast virgins”, Fearne informed them that this format had “no rules” like television and even invited them to “do a swear”, but Ant declined.

Dec explained that the reluctance to swear had “gone into” his TV partner’s resolutions. Ant, who has a son named Wilder with wife Anne-Marie, noted that he was “getting told off a lot” for the habit.

My little one is 19 months old, so he’s starting to speak slowly, and I’m getting heckled a lot for swearing a lot in the house, so I have to cut back.

He continued, “Fearne, what I’m not going to do is start swearing on a podcast.” Yes, I do need to, but I also need to.

Fearne then revealed that the lack of constraints meant they even kept the “C-bomb” in, much to the surprise of the Geordie icons, disclosing that “loads of people” had used it on the podcast.

She then described it as a “juicy one” and urged the duo to feel free to swear if they felt the “need”. Ant conceded that once he becomes “animated”, all his resolutions could “go out the window”.

Back in November, the presenters offered fans another rare insight into their lives during an appearance on I’m A Celebrity: Unpacked. In a chat with hosts Joel Dommett and Kemi Rodgers, Ant and Dec were quizzed on their respective nightly routines.

I should go to bed earlier, but probably by midnight, according to Ant in comments referring to Wilder. With a baby, it’s late. I’ll start getting stuck in a box set once I’ve been honest with you, but it’s a little too late.

Dec, who has two children, Isla and Jack, and Ali Alstall, revealed that he goes to bed much earlier.

He stated, “It’s around nine o’clock.” We’ll have something to eat while Ali and I sit on the couch. We’ll watch TV on the couch before going to bed and say, “We could be watching this.”

He continued, “just go up” and watch the news before going home for the night.

Victoria and David’s son, Victoria and David, are directly to blame for their strained relationship, according to Brooklyn Beckham, who has written a blistering statement.

Brooklyn Beckham finally let go of speculation in a powerful statement about his family, after months of speculation. At David’s extravagant 50th birthday party last year, Victoria, 51, and Victoria, 51, were the first to discuss a feud, and things have only since since grown worse.

It recently emerged that Brooklyn had sent his parents a legal letter ordering them to “desist” tagging him on social media, and now the 26-year-old has issued a blistering statement about the relationship breakdown – placing the blame firmly on his fashion designer mother and ex-footballer dad for the massive family feud.

The statement accused Victoria of dancing “very inappropriately” with Brooklyn at his 2022 wedding to Nicola and of “cancelling” her new daughter-in-law’s bridal gown at the “eleventh hour”. He also claimed that his brothers “were sent to attack” him via social media, and said that when it comes to his parents “Brand Beckham” comes above all else. He also revealed he has absolutely no desire to reconcile with his family, but sources have revealed he has been battling behind closed doors to stay in touch with his 14-year-old sister, Harper.

Sir David broke cover with a brave face with an appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Tuesday, where he took part in an interview on Radio Davos. All smiles, few would have guessed the footballing legend was in the thick of such high-profile family turmoil. For her part, mum Victoria, is said to be “in bits” behind closed doors.

“Victoria is on the floor, shocked to pieces that her son would do this,” a source tells the Mirror, adding: “Everyone is in shock. But Victoria is totally in pieces over this. But, she is worried, as is David, that this will be the end of Brand Beckham,” with the insider also claiming the couple are “worried about what else [Brooklyn] is going to come out with.”

So what has prompted Brooklyn’s sudden outpouring and what do his choice of words say about his true feelings? Communications and body language expert Judi James tells the Mirror that Brooklyn’s missive sounds charged with ‘resentment’ after years of living in “The Truman Show” – Jim Carrey’s 1998 movie about an insurance worker realising his life is secretly a reality TV show.

This lengthy and powerful statement reads like a huge, all-encompassing emotional dump from Brooklyn himself, according to Judi. “It reeks of years of suppressed resentments that can actually be a feature of most weddings, like disputes over seating arrangements or ‘inappropriate’ behavior from guests, suggests this might have come from his own pen rather than anything more legal or formal,” she says. “

The communications expert notes that the 26-year-old “sounds like a pressure cooker that just let off steam,” noting that “major gripes are featured alongside some less life-altering ones.” “

According to Jud, “Brooklyn’s language expressly aims to make this message completely personal.” To make the most impact, the most dramatic statement can be made in three brief “statement” sentences. The word “I” is the first word in each sentence:

I’m not interested in reconciling with my family. I’m not being ruled over. For the first time in my life, a married man, age 26, speaks clearly about myself. “

Judi notes that Brooklyn’s eldest son, Victoria and David, may be filled with “controlled anger” by carefully examining the language choices Brooklyn made. “I don’t do not” rather than “I don’t” is the formal language. The tone seems to have a controlled anger vibe. For my entire life, that is the definition of how emotional offload this will be.

His complaints date back to his birth, which is believed to have occurred before Nicola and him meeting for a while. He doesn’t hold his punches here, and his use of some of the most powerful word combinations makes them leap off the page. “

Brooklyn claimed in his statement that Nicola has been “consistently disrespected” by his family, and that David even refused to meet with him privately last year when he traveled to the UK for his father’s 50th if Nicola was there. The Beckhams are reportedly still convinced that Nicola, 31, is to blame for the relationship breakdown.

According to Judi, the statement contained language that further “pokes at the family brand.”

“Performative,” “inauthentic,” “lies in the media,” and “façade” are sprinkled in to provide the shocks,” she says. When he concludes with his historical claims, “When he mentions his wedding, his words are almost equally damning,” implying battles, and adding a description of his own emotions with the phrase “I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my life” about his wedding dance. “

Brooklyn may currently feel like he has his side of the story on his chest, according to the communications expert, but the public’s interest in the rift has only increased as a result.

Shortly before Brooklyn was seen cut ties with his famous parents in a scathing statement, fashion designer Victoria Beckham was seen supporting her other son, 20-year-old Cruz with his music career.

The showbiz world was left shocked last night as Brooklyn Beckham bluntly cut ties with his famous parents in a scathing statement. Brooklyn, 26, launched an attack on his family on his Instagram page with a six-page statement, accusing parents David and Victoria Beckham of controlling him his entire life, ruining his wedding and putting “Brand Beckham” above him and his wife Nicola Peltz.

In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Brooklyn claimed his parents had been “trying endlessly to ruin” their relationship with billionaire Nicola. Despite how excited his fashion designer mother was that Nicola’s dress was going to be a part of, he added, “cancelled making Nicola’s dress in the eleventh hour.”

As well as this, Brooklyn claimed mum Victoria, 51, humiliated him at his wedding by dancing “inappropriately” during their first dance.

According to reports, Victoria has been ‘in bits’ over the statement, with sources close to the Beckhams telling The Mirror: “Victoria is on the floor, shocked to pieces that her son would do this.

Everyone is shocked, they say. However, Victoria is completely unmoved by this. She worries, too, that Brand Beckham’s career will end, and David worries about what other material he will release. “They are worried about what they are going to do with this,” she says.

They continued, “They’re still blaming Nicola, believing she had put him up for this, and it’s all because of her. They’re blaming Nicola.” However, as Brooklyn put it, “he had to do this.”

The explosive statement came just hours after Victoria had taken to her Instagram story to support her other son Cruz Beckham, 20, with his music career.

Cruz’s upcoming “Cruz Beckham and the Breakers” performance at the Courtyard Theatre in London on Friday, March 27th, was shared by Victoria.

First of many shows go on sale on Wednesday at 10 AM, according to Cruz’s caption on the post on January 19th. A few of you know (tickets in bio) can’t wait to see you there for a night of new music.

Cruz had taken a number of photos while he was recording his music, and Victoria’s captioned them again, “Working hard or hardly working.”

Cruz was fiercely seen defending mum Victoria earlier this month when he said he had ‘the best mum’ while sharing one of her WhatsApp messages online.

Cruz was saved by Victoria, who wrote to him in the form of “Mothership.” Use your brain’s other side! “accompanied by a star-like emoji and a blinking brain.

Cruz also claimed back in December that Brooklyn blocked his whole family on Instagram – as he blasted reports that his parents David and Victoria had unfollowed their eldest son.

In a shocking statement, Brooklyn Beckham accused his mother, Victoria, of “dancing on me inappropriately” at his wedding to Nicola Peltz. The statement shocked the entire world and shocked the country.

Victoria Beckham’s hotly talked about dance moves have hit the headlines since Brooklyn’s blistering attack on his family on Instagram.

In a post, which sent shockwaves through the world, the 26-year-old accused the mum-of-four, 51, of “dancing inappropriately” at his multi-million dollar wedding to billionaire heiress, Nicola Peltz, 31. In a jaw-dropping statement, Brooklyn claimed the artist formerly known as Posh Spice “hijacked” his first dance, which should have been with his wife.

He reacted by calling me to the stage where it had been scheduled for my romantic dance with my wife, but instead my mother was waiting to dance with me in front of our 500 wedding guests. In front of everyone, she danced very inappropriately on me. In my entire life, I have never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated.

Fans have since discovered footage of her dancing at family gatherings, with one saying that she is “the average mother after a few wines,” but Victoria has not yet responded to the accusation.

One fan wrote: “It just makes sense that VB is out there dancing inappropriately. I’m sharing a montage of the fashion designer getting her groove on at the beach, on the dance floor, and at a family party with her youngest son Cruz and daughter-in-law, Nicola.” After a few too many videos, the woman is your typical mother.

They continued, “Make it make make sense??????” as the rest of us were clearly perplexed by Brooklyn’s comments. What’s happening here? VB will comment, right? The Beckham-Peltz first dance footage is it visible? Will I ever be able to fall asleep? ! “!

Another person agreed and said, “Her little dances are a whole vibe, he needs to stop!” I have no idea how much she hurt her son, despite the fact that she was probably intoxicated at the wedding.

Brooklyn, it appears, would disagree. He criticizes his parents in an astonishing post that was shared on Instagram last night, saying he never wants to reconcile with them.

A “second source” told the US outlet that the “jaw-dropping” moment “left the entire room in absolute shock” to the point where “you could hear a pin drop,” while Nicola “felt that Victoria ruined her wedding, and couldn’t understand why,” according to People magazine.

Some fans have also accused Victoria of dressing inappropriately for the wedding after she purchased a lacy silver dress that they alleged “smelled like lingerie.”

Brooklyn, who renewed his vows to move past the “trauma” of his wedding, claimed his wife-to-be was eager to wear one of Victoria’s designs for her big day, according to reports that the star-studded nuptials cost a whopping $5 million.

He claimed, however, that his mother “pulled out at the eleventh hour.” This has been upheld in more drama after Nicola’s stylist claimed her Valentino gown had been “year in the making.”

After his eldest son Brooklyn released a damning statement about his family on Monday, David Beckham is the subject of an unprecedented family feud.

David Beckham has been the subject of a scathing statement from his son, Brooklyn, who accused his father of controlling him, among other things. But the Manchester United icon’s own Father’s Day message from last summer says a lot.

Since his 2022 marriage to actress Nicola Peltz, the Beckham family’s eldest, Brooklyn, seemingly kept his distance from parents Victoria and David amid suggestions that a familial rift had formed. Their attendance or lack thereof at Victoria’s 50th birthday and then David’s caused quite the stir.

This week, Brooklyn broke his silence in a mic-dropping fashion, releasing a six-page statement on social media filled with allegations. He claims his mother “hijacked” his and Peltz’s wedding and that his parents have long been controlling his life.

Brooklyn stated in his statement that he does not want to reconcile with his family, including his father, but the former England star made a completely different statement just last year.

In June 2025, Beckham took to Instagram with a picture of his four children on Father’s Day and accompanied it with a heartfelt caption, which acted as a message to his kids.

Being a father is “my most important and favorite job in life,” he wrote. “I’m so proud of all of you, and I’m going to be here for you no matter what,” your father (sorry boys) promises you every day.

Brooklyn appears to have a slightly different perspective on things. The 26-year-old claimed Victoria and David have been having an argument over naming rights, and that he has since disclosed in his statement details.

My parents have tried incessantly to break us up since before my wedding, and it hasn’t stopped, Brooklyn wrote. Prior to our wedding, my parents repeatedly tried to pressure me into reneging on the rights to my name, which would have affected my wife and our future children.

They resisted if I agreed to do so before my wedding date, fearing that the terms of the agreement would be drawn up. The payday was affected by my holdout, and they haven’t treated me similarly since.

Brooklyn also alleges that David refused to see him unless his wife Nicola was excluded during his father’s celebrations for his 50th birthday in the summer of 2025.

Our parents waited in our hotel room for a week while we tried to plan quality time with my dad, according to David’s eldest.

“He refused all of our attempts,” he said, “until his big birthday party, where there were cameras around every corner and hundred people there.” When Nicola wasn’t invited, he finally agreed to see me. A slap in the face was used.

Prior to everything else, my family values public recognition and endorsements. First is Brandy Beckham. Family “love” is determined by how much you share on social media or how quickly you post, even if it comes at the expense of our professional obligations.
