Jesy Nelson celebrated her latest birthday on Saturday by taking the baby twin daughters that she shares with boyfriend Zion Foster home for the first time

Jesy Nelson announced her baby twins, who she welcomed with boyfriend, Zion Foster, have arrived at her home for the first time. The 34-year-old former Little Mix star welcomed daughters Ocean Jade Nelson-Foster and Story Monroe Nelson-Foster on 18 May.

The babies arrived two months early, being born at 31 weeks and five days, following a high-risk pregnancy complicated by twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome. The Mine singer had been in hospital for months after undergoing emergency surgery to save her children while they were still in the womb.

Now Jesy has revealed that Jesy and her girls are back home almost a full month since they arrived. And they were able to make it home in time for her birthday.

Taking to Instagram on Saturday, the singer shared a photograph showing her doting over her daughters in her home. She wrote in an accompanying caption: “My babies made it home for my birthday.”

Fans were charmed by the photo, with one commenting: “They are both so beautiful! Happy birthday Jesy.” While another added: “So happy you guys are all home together.”

And a further fan wrote: “I knew they would make it home to be with you, precious miracle girls they did it for you.

Last month, Jesy delighted fans when she reveled her children had arrived “healthy and fighting strong” after arriving prematurely.

She also recently shared her experience with the girls in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). She wrote in an online post: “Nothing or no one will ever be able to prepare you as a parent for NICU.

“It’s the most scary overwhelming feeling of emotions not being able to feel like you can protect your babies.

“Naturally as a mother you just want to hold them and comfort them when they cry but you can’t because there are what feels like a million wires coming out of them. Tubes and masks in the way with people poking and prodding them, it breaks your heart into a million pieces.

“But slowly as the days go by and they get stronger and wires start to come away, moments like this feel like a dream.” The Black Magic singer expressed her joy over the fact her children were brought back together following treatment.

She explained: “Having them reunited for the first time ever today was the most magical feeling I will never be able to describe. The strongest little girls I’ve ever known who really do have the most inspiring story to tell.”

Jesy and 25-year-old musician Zion first started dating in January 2022and have had an on-off romance over the years. Zion has been at Jesy’s side throughout her pregnancy and hospital stay.

In early May the couple hinted they may have tied the knot as Zion shared a trio of black and white photos of himself with Jesy in a bed smiling and laughing together. Jesy reacted to the images to write “My husband” in the comments – sparking a flurry of comments from fans.

Former The Saturdays singer Mollie King opened up about what it’s really like juggling fame while being a mother of two

Mollie King has swapped the red ­carpet for sleeping on the nursery ­carpet now she is a mum of two. The former The Saturdays singer gave birth to second daughter Liliana in December – and returned last month to her afternoon Radio 1 presenting slot.

Mollie, 38 – engaged to ex-England cricketer Stuart Broad – revealed: “Life’s a lot less glamorous when you’re a mum of two. “I was laughing with Stuart after [last month’s] Baftas. I went from walking the red carpet, to sleeping on my daughter’s carpet. I missed the afterparty and came home. She couldn’t sleep so I was sleeping on the floor in her bedroom while she was in her cot.

“I’d managed to get out of my dress but my hair and make-up was still glammed up. You don’t realise how much your parents did for you until you’re a parent yourself.”

Mollie and Stuart, 38, had Liliana just before Christmas, giving a sister to Annabella, two.

Mollie, who has hosted Radio 1’s Monday to Thursday early afternoon slot with Matt Edmondson for the past year, said of her return to work: “It’s such a tough one because I adore being at home with the girls.

“But I also love being on the radio doing a job I love with Matt, who’s one of my best friends. The hardest thing is missing the girls and coping being away from them.

“But Stuart and I juggle it between us. We’re a bit of a tag team – he works most weekends and I work Monday to Thursday, so it’s a bit ‘one in, one out’.”

Mollie added: “But Annabella is brilliant, which makes things easier. I was worried she’d feel pushed aside but she’s been amazing. She’s very affectionate and protective over her already.”

Mollie had 13 top 10 hits with girl group The Saturdays, who went on hiatus in 2014 after a seven-year run.

Last year she raised more than £1.3million for Red Nose Day with her 310-mile Pedal Power bike ride.

She cycled in memory of her dad Stephen, who died of a brain tumour 10 days after Annabella was born.

Mollie said of working through her grief: “I don’t think you ever get over it. It’s been hard knowing he’s missed out on another granddaughter.

“When I had my little one, I felt such mixed feelings. I wish he’d known her. But I also know he’s still with me.”

Real Housewives executive Lauren Miller has died just moments after giving birth to her son Jackson as she also leaves behind her husband and three-year-old daughter Emma

A boss of the Real Housewives TV franchises has tragically died during childbirth. Lauren Miller died just minutes after giving birth to her son Jackson on June 9.

She had worked on both the Real Housewives of New York City and Salt Lake City series of the hit reality show. Lauren’s death was announced by production company Shed Media in an emotional statement.

They said: “It is with devastated hearts that we share that our beloved colleague, Lauren, died unexpectedly just moments after giving birth to her baby boy. Lauren leaves behind her husband, Kevin, three-year-old daughter Emma and newborn son Jackson.”

Her husband Kevin left a heartbreaking comment that read: “Lauren is the love of my life and I was blessed by God that she chose to spend her life with me and give me two beautiful children to remember her every minute of everyday.”

He added: “Please pray for our family and thank you all for the prayers, kind words and thoughts. God bless.” Real Housewives stars have also shared their own tributes to Lauren.

Orange County’s Tamra Judge wrote: “Prayers for her family & friends. This is absolutely heartbreaking.” Salt Lake City star Heather Gay added a broken heart emoji and New York City’s Sai de Silva posted several crying emojis.

A GoFundMe page has been set up for Lauren’s family by her co-workers, which has already raised over $131,000. The fundraising page said: “This unimaginable loss is impossible to comprehend and the hole that Lauren has left in this world and in her own family, is an impossible one to ever fill.

“We are devastated for her beloved husband, Kevin, who must now unexpectedly take on the sole role of parenting their two children … Emma (3) and newborn Jackson, who is still in the NICU. That the day Lauren was so eagerly awaiting should end in tragedy is truly unfathomable.”

They added: “Anyone that knew Lauren was affected by her warm smile, kind heart and thoughtful, intuitive nature. She was the kind of person who could comfort you with a just a few words, because she always spoke from the heart.

“She was sincere, intentional and compassionate, but among her greatest qualities was the love she had for her family. It was no secret how close she was to her entire family or how excited she was when she got to start her own.

“From getting engaged to Kevin and then getting married to becoming a mother with Emma and next with Jackson, Lauren beamed whenever she talked about all that she had with her beautiful family.”

The post concluded: “The devastating loss of Lauren is far-reaching and we all feel helpless in the wake of the grief. But we can come together now to help take care of the thing Lauren cherish beyond all else: her family.”

In an update on Friday, Lauren’s co-workers revealed baby Jackson has left the NICU and is at home with his dad Kevin and sister Emma.

The pair – who have both dated the same reality star – will be on the England team at Soccer Aid at Old Trafford tomorrow

Sam Thompson is relishing his new role as Soccer Aid coach and bossing the team around after he was forced to pull out of playing in the charity match. The I’m A Celebrity favourite helped raise over £1million by completing a gruelling 261-mile five-day challenge for Unicef but injured his calf in the process.

It means he’ll be on the sidelines for tomorrow’s game. “I’ll putting my two pence in,” vowed Sam. “I might be shouting ‘I think we might need to change it to a 4-2-3-1.’ But we’ll have to wait and see. If Tom Grennan’s looking a little bit leggy, I might have to hook him off. Obviously that will have to go via Tyson Fury. I’m quite small, he’s quite tall, so getting into his ear is gonna be a bit tough, but I’m gonna give it a go. I might get power drunk and then just be like, ‘Tyson, take a back seat.’ And he’s gonna be like, ‘Sam, sit down.’”

Sam was told he could no longer play in the match after being assessed by a medic. He was lined up to play for England – alongside Louis Tomlinson. All eyes have been on the pair and their awkward interactions after Louis started dating Sam’s ex Zara McDermott. Sam has insisted there are “no hard feelings” between the guys.

Sam, 32, and former Love Islander Zara, 28, called time on their five-year relationship shortly before Christmas. Zara is said to have moved on with One Direction singer Louis, 33, in March.

Ahead of the charity match, Sam took part in a gruelling challenge, running and cycling 260 miles, delivering the match ball from Stamford Bridge to Old Trafford. His journey was documented for ITV One’s Sam Thompson’s Match Ball Mission for Soccer Aid.

Sam said his challenge has changed his outlook on life, likening it to therapy and say it’s made him more grateful for everything he’s got. “It’s the most important thing I’ve done in my 32 years of life,” he said. “Getting to go to Guatemala, getting to see what UNICEF do on the ground, it’s just life changing. The past four months have been a whirlwind. There’s so much that’s happened in that space of time. While their lives have remained the exact same.

“I left a lot out on that road. I remember at the end of Thursday, I went silent for an hour and a half on the bike. And that’s weird for me. I was really struggling. I just cried on the bike as I was cycling. You really realise why we were all there and what we were doing. It’s the quietest I’ve ever been.”

Soccer Aid for UNICEF 2025 will take place tomorrow at Old Trafford, Manchester and will be shown live exclusively on ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player. Donate to UNICEF ahead of the match at socceraid.org.uk/donate. This year, thanks to the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation, every donation you make to Soccer Aid for UNICEF will be doubled – up to £5 million.

Love Island: All Stars contestant Curtis Pritchard has given an update on his outlook for the future following her abrupt split from his co-star Ekin-Su Culculoglu

Curtis Pritchard has revealed all about his romantic status after his shock split from fellow Love Island star Ekin-Su Culculoglu. Reality TV fans watched Curtis, 29, and Ekin-Su, 30, fall for each other earlier this year as they starred on Love Island: All Stars together.

After falling for each other in the villa, the couple made it all the way to the final but ended in third place behind runners up Grace Jackson and Luca Bish and winners Casey O’Gorman and Gabby Allen. After leaving the villa in the middle of February and returning to the UK, Curtis and Ekin-Su seemed to be heading for a happy romance.

But the love did not last – and the couple revealed they had decided to call it a day just three months after they were crowned third in the second season of Love Island: All Stars. Now Curtis has shone light on his romantic status – and his hopes for the future.

The reality star, who is a professional on the Irish version of Dancing with the Stars and has been retraining as a boxer since February this year, has revealed he is focusing on his sport for now.

He told the Daily Mail: “I mean, as of now, I am single.” And when asked if he would be interested in a serious romance, he replied: “You know what I’ve just come out of, just come off doing Love Island, so I haven’t even thought about it.

“Boxing is my my thought process at the moment. I am not going to lie, I want kids and I do want to get married. So yeah, I am looking for that if anyone’s out there.”

Ekin-Su announced she had split from Curtis via a blunt social media post that she released at the end of May. She wrote: “I wanted to share that Curtis and I have decided to go our separate ways.

“It’s been a really tough decision, but one made with a lot of love and respect for one another. He’s an incredible person and I’ll always cherish the memories we made both in an out of the villa.”

She continued: “Thank you all so much for the love and support over the past few months. We’re both focusing on navigating this transition and would really appreciate privacy during this time. Love always, EkinSu.”

Curtis later confirmed the news with a short statement of his own. He wrote at the time: “Just a quick note to say thank you so much for all the kind messages, it really does mean the world. It’s true, Ekin and I have decided to go our separate ways. Breakups are never easy, but i’ll always be grateful for the laughs, the adventures, and the memories (especially the dance routines).”

And he concluded: “I’ll be keeping busy with work, boxing, dancing, and working with the team on FINT. Lots of love, Curtis.”

During his first stint on Love Island back in season five in 2019, Curtis fell into a romance with Irish beauty Maura Higgins – however the relationship collapsed a few months after they left the villa.

While Ekin-Su found love with Davide Sanclimenti during season eight of the show in 2022 and the pair even won the show. But the split months later amid rumours of unfaithfulness.

Dance Moms star JoJo Siwa has set the record straight on her sexuality after being hit with a brutal dig by Miley Cyrus as her romance with Chris Hughes heats up

JoJo Siwa has addressed speculation about her sexuality after Miley Cyrus’ comments about her romance with Chris Hughes. The Dance Moms star, 22, decided to speak out after Miley made a snarky joke at her relationship.

Singer Miley appeared in a clip to mark World Pride as she spoke from inside a closet and said: “Oh, my God, I haven’t been in here since sixth grade! Enjoy coming out of the closet if this Pride is the time for you. It shouldn’t be a month – it should be a year; it should be infinite.”

However, her positive message took a turn as she quipped: “I’m going back inside to get more pretzels and find JoJo Siwa and bring her back out.” JoJo was far from impressed by the remark and fired back that it wasn’t “what the world, or myself needs to hear any day of the week”.

The Karma hitmaker told her fans she was part of the LGTBQ+ community back in 2021. She initially identified as pansexual before revealing she was a lesbian.

However, in the Celebrity Big Brother house, where she met now-boyfriend Chris, JoJo expressed she thought she is now queer. In an update, JoJo has decided to share that she identifies as queer.

She told E! News: “I think the most beautiful term now is queer. I think queer is an umbrella of, ‘Look, I’m just me’. And I think the most beautiful thing about the LGBTQIA community is love. And that goes both ways.”

JoJo added: “There’s loads of beautiful, different sexualities. Sexuality and queerness is a lovely rainbow that has all different places, and it also has places on this rainbow that we don’t even know exist yet.”

The dancer took time to speak about her romance with Chris and how it plays a role with her sexuality. She admitted she has “never second guessed” how she feels for Chris and insisted “you really help who you fall in love with.”

JoJo explained: “Therefore, I’ve never second guessed my happiness, I’ve never second guessed what I’m feeling. And I think that’s the most beautiful thing. When I think about him, I’m full of pure joy. When I speak about him, I’m full of pure joy.”

She has been spending time with Chris at his home in the Cotswolds as they continue to get to know each other romantically. Speaking to Capital Breakfast presenter Jordan North earlier this week how tight their bond has become, JoJo compared their bond to a house.

She said: “As hectic as life is, and as much as that noise goes on, I feel like Christopher and I discovered this beautiful house together. And this house is earthquake proof, and it’s fireproof, and bulletproof. We discovered this house and found the keys, and we took the keys and locked ourselves in. I feel like that with myself, I feel like that with him.”

Following Miley’s dig at her sexuality, JoJo took to Instagram to share a lengthy post about her admiration for the pop star, showing snaps from her Miley-themed fifth birthday party. She also uploaded images of herself with her idol, as well as a picture of her in a jumper printed with the singer’s face on.

JoJo confessed she “wasn’t sure how I felt about things for a couple of days,” after hearing the comments. However, she has said she doesn’t think the quip was ill intended – simply calling it a not very good joke.

She added: “I messaged Miley light heartedly about it and she replied and said “All love. Always.” Honestly the most beautiful thing I’ve learned in the last 5 years is that love is a gorgeous rainbow. Don’t question yourself, don’t second guess yourself, just love. Love love love love love.”
