She has been flooded with messages of well wishes from friends and fans alike, including her Love Island ex Chris Hughes.

Soaking up the love, Jesy took to her Instagram last week to share a video rubbing her growing stomach before blowing a kiss to the camera.

The star was glowing as she opted for minimal makeup to showcase her natural beauty, while keeping it comfortable in a pair of Powerfuff Girls pyjama bottoms and an Outkast T-shirt.

She wore her red locks in a naturally curly style and addressing her 9.7million followers, she wrote: ‘Just wanted to say thank you so much for all of your beautiful msgs over the past 24 hours, we feel so overwhelmed with all the love and support.’

In her announcement post, Jesy posted a bump snap with her ex-boyfriend Zion, months after the pair were reported to have split in September.

The singer and rapper were first linked in January 2022 before splitting up in November 2023 after Jesy struggled with their seven-year age gap.

The couple soon reunited before breaking up again five months ago – however they hinted at another reunion as they shared a cosy snap announcing their pregnancy.

They sparked speculation they had split September after they wiped traces of each other on social media.

And they previously called it quits last summer after Jesy struggled with their nine year age gap.

However they got back together and the pair recently collaborated on tracks together with one being unveiled in August and the others yet to be released.

Following reports of their separation, Zion confirmed they had split as he commented on a OK! TikTok post: ‘Beautiful woman inside and out, wish her nothing but the best’.

Fans were saddened by the news. They wrote: ‘Aww sad looked like a lovely couple’ and ‘No I was so excited for their tunes’.

‘She deserves to be treated like the gorgeous person that she is’ and ”Omg I’m shocked. They seemed so good together.’

When their split was reported, a source told The Sun: ‘Jesy and Zion split last month and have completely cut ties with each other. It’s not the first time they have broken up but friends 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.

‘Fans have already heard one of their tracks and were hoping for more, but it’s looking pretty unlikely at this point.’

While several celebrity pals congratulated Jesy on her exciting news, there has been a wall of silence from former bandmates Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock.

Jesy walked away from Little Mix in December 2020 and she too failed to publicly congratulate Leigh-Anne and Perrie when they announced that they were pregnant just days apart from one another back in 2021.

Perrie is now a proud mum to son Axel who she shares with fiancé Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Leigh-Anne shares twin girls with husband Andre Gray.

In August 2021, Jesy revealed that she was no longer in contact with Perrie, Leigh-Anne and Jade.

Speaking to The Guardian at the time, she said when asked if they were in contact: ‘No, not as much. Not now. I think we all need time. It’s a big thing that’s happened. I still love them to pieces. They were like my sisters.’

Perrie, Leigh-Anne and Jade, who continued as a trio following her departure, unfollowed Jesy after the singer took aim at them on multiple occasions.

MailOnline have contacted Perrie, Jade and Leigh-Anne’s representatives for comment.

After Perrie, 31, spoke about their friendship ending on a podcast, Jesy took to her Instagram Stories and shared a cryptic post, that read: ‘The internet is gross and so are humans’.

Perrie had explained how her shattered friendship with Jesy has inspired a new song during her appearance on Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place podcast.

She said: ‘I wrote a song about it – a friendship I had that I no longer have. We don’t know how to talk about friendship breakups.

‘It’s still as heartbreaking – when you go through all these things with someone all the highs and lows and then they’re just gone.

‘But these things happen. Do we try and rectify things? Or just stay away?’
