The singer uploaded a sweet snap of her cuddling into one of her tots on a park swing.The youngster, who was wrapped up in a blanket, gazed lovingly as the former Little Mix star sat on a swing rocking her. Jesy captioned the image: "My dream is to one day push my girls on a swing all by themselves."She added: "But for now we enjoy it just like this." She added an emoji face with welling up eyes and a white heart emoji to her post.It was met with huge love in the comments section. Jess Wright was among those commenting, simply posting three red love heart emojis. The message was repeated by other followers on the post, while another person wrote: "You are the best mother. Keep fighting for your girls."It comes as Jesy continues to deal with the diagnosis of twin girls Ocean Jade and Story Monroe, who she shares with fellow musician Zion Foster. The girls were born in at 31 weeks and five days in May last year, but were diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) in January 2026, meaning it is unlikely that they will develop the ability to walk.According to the NHS, Type 1 SMA means sufferers are unable to sit without support and have difficulties with feeding and breathing. Jesy has been campaigning for newborn testing to be rolled out across the NHS since their diagnosis.Last month, Jesy admitted she was "heartbroken and outraged" by the decision to not offer testing to every child. But she vowed to "keep on fighting" for the testing.She had attended parliament for the MPs' debate on SMA screening from birth and was distraught at the decision. It means that at present, only 72 per cent of the country will have access to newborn screening when it is introduced in October.Jesy continues to keep fans updated on the youngsters. In a heartbreaking update during the recent heatwave, Jesy said her heart was "broken into a million pieces".The one-year-old tots have to wear spinal suits and the singer said the heat had been providing extra struggles for the youngsters. She said: ""I've cried all day. Imagine having to wear a spinal jacket and splints in this heat I cannot even begin to tell you how much this breaks my heart into a million pieces."But if I don't put them in these every day, their spines and feet will only deteriorate and get worse. These will never correct their spine or feet, it will only prevent it from getting any worse.Article continues below"Once again, no future SMA babies need to suffer like this if they are given a heel prick test and treatment from birth!"Like this story?
