The Instagram post, uploaded on Sunday morning, has already received close to 100,00 likes and received thousands of comments. It has been a difficult pregnancy for Jesy and Zion.
The 33-year-old had emergency surgery in April after the babies developed twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome - a rare condition which could have been fatal for one, or both, twins.
After her operation, Jesy said: 'We feel so grateful and blessed that these little babies are still going strong.' Thankfully the twins progress has been positive throughout the remainder of the pregnancy.
The new parents have been together since November 2022 and, in May, Zion ran the London Marathon to raise money for the Twins Trust which offers support to families with twins.
Jesy joins other Little Mix members who are already mothers. In 2021, Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock both gave birth to babies within a week of each other.
Perrie welcomed a son named Axel with her fiancé Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Leigh-Anne welcomed twins with her husband Andre Gray.

‘The Pretender' Review: The Boy Who Would Be King
Set at the end of the Wars of the Roses, the long dynastic struggle between the English royal houses of York and Lancaster, Jo Harkin's exuberant historical novel 'The Pretender' brings to life one of the stranger footnotes in late-medieval history. In 1487 Henry VII's right to the crown as a distant Lancastrian descendant through the female line was challenged by a boy only 10 or so years old, whom his supporters claimed to be the rightful Earl of Warwick, nephew of Richard III and a direct Plantagenet heir. The Tudor historian Polydore Vergil in his 'Anglica Historia' (1555) named this pretender Lambert Simnel, a base-born lad 'not entirely of bad character.' The episode ended in victory for Henry later that year at the Battle of Stoke Field. Vergil records that Simnel was pardoned for his role in the attempted takeover and was put to work in Henry's kitchen as a spit-turner, while the Tudors went on to rule England for the next century. The rest, you might say, is history. Or is it? Ms. Harkin takes this incident as the starting point for a rollicking story that's part fact, part lively speculation, and along the way asks some probing questions about the nature of identity. On an Oxfordshire farm, a peasant boy called John Collan is growing up with no battles to fight other than those with the farm goat, until a mysterious nobleman arrives bearing astonishing news: John isn't the farmer's son at all but Edward, the young Earl of Warwick, who as a baby was concealed among simple country folk for his own safety. Now he is to be brought out of hiding as the last Yorkist hope.

Neon dreams and nature scenes make for two very different home decor trends in 2025
Home decor's got a split personality this year: Call it 'city glow' and 'cottage flow.' At the two international design fairs that I attended — Maison et Objet in France, Ambiente in Germany — acres of exhibition booths were full of Art Deco furnishings , island-vibe rattan seating and lighting, and lots of emphasis on sustainably produced materials.
