Summary
- Jesy Nelson's twins diagnosed with rare SMA Type 1 condition.
- Star campaigns for newborn SMA testing after diagnosis.
- Jesy's journey to motherhood and her life post-Little Mix documented.
Jesy Nelson recently showcased a glamorous side, posting a selfie after a makeup session, a moment of levity amidst her challenging journey as a mother to twins Ocean and Story. The eight-month-old infants were diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Type 1, a rare genetic condition causing muscle weakness.
Following this diagnosis, Nelson has become a vocal advocate for introducing SMA testing for newborns. She believes early detection and treatment are crucial for reducing the long-term impact of the disease. Her efforts include launching a petition to add SMA screening to the newborn blood spot test.
Nelson's personal experiences, from navigating pregnancy complications like Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome to becoming a mother, are documented in her forthcoming Amazon documentary, 'Jesy Nelson: Life After Little Mix,' scheduled for release on February 13, 2026.
