Jesy Nelson has confirmed her new romance is heating up after she was spotted sharing a kiss with boyfriend Ben Davies during their first public outing together.<\/p>\n
The former Little Mix star, 35, looked smitten as she stepped out hand-in-hand with the landscape gardener in London, just weeks after speculation began swirling that she had found love again following her split from musician Zion Foster.<\/p>\n
Jesy and Ben appeared completely at ease together as they wandered through Covent Garden, with the pair stopping to share an intimate moment outside a pancake shop.<\/p>\n
The singer opted for leisurewear for the outing, pairing a black bralet with high-waisted cycling shorts.<\/p>\n
Heavily tattooed Ben was similarly casual in a white T-shirt, cap and sunglasses as he held hands with Jesy while they made their way through the capital.<\/p>\n
The loved-up appearance comes after reports earlier this month identified the man as Essex landscape gardener Ben Davies, who previously dated\u00a0TOWIE original Lydia Bright.<\/p>\n
Their relationship became public in 2024 after they were spotted together at a gig by Lydia\u2019s ex James Argent, and the pair went on to share several loved-up pictures during their romance.<\/p>\n
However, Lydia confirmed by early 2025 that she was single again.<\/p>\n
Jesy\u2019s blossoming relationship with Ben marks a new chapter after an extraordinarily difficult period in her personal life.<\/p>\n
She split from musician Zion after the pair welcomed twin daughters Ocean and Story and subsequently learned that both girls had Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Type 1, a rare muscle-wasting condition.<\/p>\n
Jesy and Zion had become engaged only last September, when he proposed during a romantic beach moment at sunset, but their relationship later came to an end.<\/p>\n

Their experience adjusting to parenthood and coming to terms with their daughters\u2019 diagnosis was documented on Jesy\u2019s Prime Video series, including the devastating moment they were given the news about Ocean and Story.<\/p>\n
Jesy previously explained that the enormous pressure they faced had taken its toll on their relationship.<\/p>\n
\u2018I think it\u2019s quite inevitable for things like this to happen to couples,\u2019 she said. \u2018You\u2019ll either be a team or it\u2019ll tear you apart.\u2019<\/p>\n
