I&#8217;ve just come out of hospital, this is the time I need you the most\u2019. I didn&#8217;t feel like they were my sisters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nJesy admitted she still doesn\u2019t really understand what happened between her and the other girls.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: \u201cIt&#8217;s been five years now; every time I think about it I&#8217;m like, \u2018Was it them, or was it the management?\u2019 I will never know that because we never got to have that conversation. <\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cAnd then eventually there was a phone call, and it was really awkward. It was just so weird because it was like talking to strangers. <\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cIt was the most uncomfortable phone call I&#8217;ve ever had, no one knew what to say, and that was the last time I ever spoke to them as a group.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nHowever, the girls did reach out when she was pregnant. Jesy and her ex, Zion Foster, welcomed Ocean Jade and Story Monroe in May 2025.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: \u201cIt was lovely because I never thought that would happen. It made me really emotional.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;We&#8217;re grown women now, we&#8217;ve got kids, and I just think there are so many more important things in life. It&#8217;s just one of those things that need to be put to bed now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nDespite everything, Jesy insists she has &#8220;no regrets&#8221; about her time on The X Factor and her tenure with Little Mix &#8211; as it led her to her &#8220;two beautiful girls&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nAppearing on ITV&#8217;s This Morning, she was asked if she is glad she did the ITV reality show &#8211; which Little Mix won in 2011- to which she replied: &#8220;Of course, I wouldn&#8217;t be sitting here now. I wouldn&#8217;t be doing all the things that I am doing for my girls. I am so appreciative. I so truly believe that the universe puts you were meant to be. So I don&#8217;t regret anything, ever, that has happened in my life, because it has all led me to my beautiful girls and where I am now and where I am meant to be.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/jesy-nelsons-awkward-little-mix-goodbye-1437674.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>14 February 2026 Jesy Nelson had one final \u201cawkward\u201d phone call with her Little Mix bandmates after quitting the group following an attempt to take her own life.
