Zion Foster, ex-partner of singer Jesy Nelson, celebrated his 27th birthday with a solo trip abroad this week. The musician shared photos from his getaway on Instagram, showing him relaxing on the beach and enjoying a birthday cake, as Nelson recently went public with her new relationship.
Nelson, 35, was pictured on a date with Ben Davies, a landscape gardener from Essex, over the weekend. The couple's outing reportedly ended with an altercation at a London rooftop bar, leading to their ejection. According to reports, Davies was involved in a heated exchange with bouncers after allegedly confronting other patrons.
Nelson's representatives have been contacted for comment regarding the incident. Despite the reported drama, Nelson appeared stylish for the outing, dressed in a bra top and cycling shorts, while Davies wore a white t-shirt and carried a designer clutch bag.
This public display with Davies follows earlier hints on social media, where Nelson had teased his presence in a photograph shared on her Instagram Stories. The couple has been described as being affectionate during their recent public appearances.
The public nature of Nelson's new relationship comes as she actively campaigns to raise awareness for Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1 (SMA). Nelson and Foster share 15-month-old twin daughters, Ocean and Story, who were diagnosed with the rare muscle-wasting condition in January, shortly before Nelson and Foster announced their separation.
In a recent Amazon Prime documentary, Nelson discussed the split from Foster, describing it as a traumatic experience. She explained that while they still had a cordial relationship, their differing approaches to managing the challenges of their daughters' diagnosis led to clashes, ultimately resulting in their decision to part ways. Nelson emphasized her priority remains being the best mother possible for their children.
SMA affects a baby's ability to sit up, crawl, or walk, and in severe cases, can impact breathing and swallowing. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for improving outcomes in affected children. Nelson has expressed pride that her daughters' story has contributed to increased awareness and potential changes in screening protocols, viewing it as a future "superpower" she can share with them when they are older.
