JESY Nelson's boyfriend Zion Foster sent her a sweet message as he crossed the London Marathon finish line – with barely four weeks of training under his belt.
The former Little Mix star, who is expecting twins, was bursting with pride, telling Zion he had made her and their unborn babies "the proudest" as he completed the gruelling 26.2-mile race.
Jesy, 32, wrote in a post on Instagram on Sunday: "I honestly didn't think I could love you any more than I already do @zionfoster but you have made me and our babies the proudest!!!!
"You had under 4 weeks to train for the London Marathon and you have worked your absolute bum off to be able to cross that finish line today whilst raising money for an amazing cause @twinstrust and for our babies."
She added: "Words will never be enough to let you know how proud I am of you.
"The most amazing human and daddy — we love you baby. You smashed the London Marathon!!!!"
Replying to Jesy in the comments, the rap star Zion gushed: "I can't believe I actually completed it… LOVE YOU"
He took on the challenge to raise funds for Twins Trust, a charity close to their hearts as they prepare to welcome two little ones later this year.
Fans flooded Jesy's page with messages of congratulations, with many calling Zion a "hero" and praising the pair for raising awareness.
One shared: "Massive congratulations. I'm 32 weeks tomorrow with Dcda Twins and been in hospital now 2 weeks. We've got this future Twin Mama."
Another said: "So so proud. He's so amazing & he should be so proud of himself. love you both x"
Jesy is in hospital because she could go into labour at any moment and it's too early into the pregnancy to risk letting her home.
The 33-year-old is currently living in hospital after being diagnosed with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) which puts her unborn twins at risk of dying.
The diagnosis took the parents-to-be by surprise and they revealed they had no idea what TTTS was before the diagnosis.
Jesy previously had a successful operation – though didn't specify the type of procedure – after revealing her twins are "living off one placenta".
What is premature birth and what are its risks?
Premature birth is when a baby is born before 37 weeks of pregnancy.
About eight out of 100 babies will be born prematurely.
It's possible for a baby to survive if born around 24 weeks of pregnancy onwards – 24 weeks is the legal limit for abortion.
Babies born this early need care in a hospital with specialist facilities for premature babies, called a neonatal unit.
The risks of having a premature baby include:
- Small size
- Low body temperature
- Breathing problems
- Feeding difficulties
- Cerebral palsy
- Developmental delay
- Vision problems
- Hearing problems
They may have health and development problems because they have not fully developed in the womb.
In some cases, pre-term labour is planned and induced because it's safer for the baby to be born sooner rather than later.
Risk factors that have been identified for preterm birth include pregnancy with multiple babies, six months or less between pregnancies, a previous premature birth and problems with the placenta.
