Jesy Nelson confirms new romance as she shares loved up post following split from fiancé
The former Little Mix singer has publicly confirmed her new romance with landscape gardener Ben Davies by posting their first couple photographs on Instagram.
Jesy Nelson, 35, uploaded the images on Thursday, showing the pair dressed up for their evening at the National Television Awards earlier in the week.
Her caption read: “Forgot to mention…” accompanied by a monkey emoji and a black heart.
In the snaps, Nelson wore a strapless black gown featuring a thigh-high split, paired with long PVC gloves, while Davies complemented her look in an all-black ensemble of vest, blazer and trousers.
His sleeveless top put his heavily tattooed arms on display. Davies runs a London-based landscaping firm called BD Landscapes, described as an “Experienced & Professional Family Run” operation.
The post quickly attracted an outpouring of warmth from followers and famous faces alike. Influencer Safiyya Vorajee commented: “So so happy for you,” while comedian Luke Hamnett called her “queen” and expressed his delight.
Numerous fans echoed similar sentiments, with one writing: “You deserve all the happiness in the world.”
Another remarked on how wonderful it was to see Nelson happy after everything she has endured.
Davies himself weighed in beneath the photographs, writing: “Mum and dad scrub up good don’t we” alongside a heart-eyes emoji.

The post was shared with Nelson’s 9.5 million Instagram followers, many of whom described the pair as a stunning couple and urged them to enjoy their happiness together.
Nelson’s new relationship comes after her separation from musician Zion Foster, to whom she became engaged in September 2025.
The couple welcomed twin daughters, Ocean Jade and Story Monroe Nelson-Foster, prematurely in May last year, before learning the girls had been diagnosed with SMA1, a rare condition causing progressive muscle weakness.
Speaking on her Amazon Prime documentary, Nelson acknowledged the devastating toll the diagnosis took on their partnership.

GETTY“You’ll either be a team or it’ll tear you apart and unfortunately I feel that’s what it’s done to me and Zion,” she said. “We’re both dealing with this situation completely differently, and together we were clashing. I decided we would be better off apart.”
She stressed there was no animosity between them and that her children remained her absolute priority.
Nelson attended the NTAs red carpet solo on Tuesday evening, though Davies was later seen seated beside her in the audience as she awaited the result for Best Authored Documentary.
Her programme, Jesy Nelson: Life After Little Mix, had been shortlisted but ultimately lost out to Our Girls: The Southport Families.
The documentary chronicles her campaign to raise awareness of SMA, which reportedly helped persuade the government to announce a national newborn screening rollout for the condition.
Before Thursday’s official reveal, Nelson had dropped several hints about her budding romance throughout August.
She was photographed walking hand-in-hand with Davies through London’s West End, and later posted an image from a rooftop dinner date in which a tattooed arm was visible beside her.
Davies is also known as the former partner of reality star Lydia Bright.
