May 19 (UPI) -- Jesy Nelson, a singer and former member of British girl group Little Mix, welcomed twins at 31 weeks and five days, she announced on Instagram Sunday.
She and boyfriend Zion Foster are now parents to daughters Ocean Jade Nelson-Foster and Story Monroe Nelson-Foster.
Nelson had been in the hospital since March after complications that arose because the twins were sharing a placenta. She said Sunday that the newborns, who are now in NICU, are "healthy and fighting strong."
"So... Our beautiful baby girls decided to come at 31 weeks plus five days. It all happened so quickly, but we are so blessed that they are here with us, healthy and fighting strong!" she said in her Instagram post. "We've never felt more in love."
