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.
