Jesy Nelson has been spotted with her new boyfriend after she sparked speculation that she could be dating again after sharing a glimpse of a mystery man during an apparent dinner date following her split from Zion Foster.
The social media update came after Jesy and Zion split following their twin daughters’ SMA diagnosis. The former couple shares Ocean Jade and Story Monroe, who were diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy Type 1 in January 2026.
According to MailOnline, Jesy posted an image from a rooftop garden over a week ago. A man’s tattooed arm could be seen at the edge of the picture, while two drinks sat on the table.
At the time, the post did not reveal the man’s identity or confirm that Jesy is in a new relationship. The singer reportedly offered another cryptic glimpse of a man in April, although it is not known whether he was the same person.
Jesy Nelson debuts new boyfriend
Following the speculation, Jesy has since gone public with her new man. In pap photos obtained by The Sun, the Touch hitmaker can be seen packing on the PDA with landscape gardener Ben Davies after a romantic date at a London cocktail bar.
Ben is no stranger to dating women in the public eye, having previously dated TOWIE star Lydia Bright for a year.
Embracing the warm UK weather, Jesy wore a black bralet with high-waisted cycling shorts and shades of the same color. Ben also kept it casual in a white T-shirt, cap and sunglasses.
Jesy Nelson and Zion Foster’s split
Jesy, 35, separated from musician Zion, 27, earlier this year as the family dealt with Ocean and Story’s diagnosis. SMA is a rare genetic condition that causes progressive muscle weakness.
The weeks surrounding the diagnosis were documented in the Prime Video series Jesy Nelson: Life Changing. During the programme, Zion admitted that he felt “out of my depth” and needed help as he struggled emotionally, physically and mentally.
Jesy said she could see how difficult the situation had become for him. She later described their separation as “inevitable” following the trauma they had experienced.
She said couples facing such circumstances could either become a team or be torn apart, adding: “Unfortunately I feel that’s what it’s done to me and Zion.”
However, Jesy stressed that there was “no bad feeling” between them and said her “main priority” was their daughters. She also explained that she wanted to approach motherhood with as much positive energy as possible.
Zion responds to criticism
Zion subsequently addressed claims that he had abandoned his children after viewers heard his comments in the documentary.
Writing on Instagram Stories, he explained that feeling out of his depth referred to confronting an unfamiliar and complex medical diagnosis — not walking away from his responsibilities.
“Please don’t mistake vulnerability for abandonment,” he wrote, before reaffirming his love for Ocean and Story and his commitment to them.
For now, Jesy has not identified the man whose arm appeared in her latest photograph. Whether the post marks a new romance therefore remains unclear.
