Pregnant Jesy Nelson has shared a sweet marathon message to her beau as she cheers him on from a hospital bed. The singer took to her social media to post a photo where she included a message to boyfriend Zion Foster.

Jesy wrote: "I feel so emotional this morning knowing my baby is running the marathon for our babies and for @twinstrust @zionfoster my heart feels so proud of you you got this my angel."
Jesy and her boyfriend have been staying in hospital for six weeks after sharing that the twins have Twin-to-Twin Transfusion syndrome, which means they are both feeding from one placenta. Zion revealed that he would be running the marathon for the charity.
Taking to Instagram, Zion shared a clip where he showed fans the top he would be wearing for the race. Next to the post, he wrote: "Hey guys, in two days i'll be running the London Marathon for @twinstrust… Training has been a rollercoaster ride but it's all for an amazing cause and i'm ready to cross that finish line. The donation link is in our bios and all money raised will go to the Twins Trust to support them with the amazing work they do for twins, triplets and more!!! Thank you guys so much for all your donations and see you on Sunday."
The couple announced that they were expecting twins back in January and have been keeping their fans updated ever since. Jesy is now seven months pregnant but revealed that they have had worries during that the babies wouldn't make it.
Speaking about why he wanted to run the London Marathon, Zion said: "I wanted to run specifically for the Twins Trust, because of what Jess has gone through. So with the complications we've had something called TTTS.
"Essentially, there's not an equal share of blood flow and nutrients in the body for the twins. So one twin will end up getting too much or one twin will end up getting too little. And I guess when we found out we had twins, you just don't know what comes with it. Everyone just sees, 'Oh my God, you've got twins? That's amazing, congratulations'. But it actually, it can add so many complications.
"It can make pregnancy such a difficult time, not just for the mum, but also the father as well. Just because there's so much uncertainty." Twins Trust supports families with educational and financial support for twins and triplets.
