Kerry Katona extends her support to Jesy Nelson, the former Little Mix member, who recently expressed her heartache over her daughters. Jesy shared that her heart feels shattered into a million pieces in an emotional update.

Jesy, who is a mother of twin daughters named Ocean Jade and Story Monroe with musician Zion Foster, faces additional challenges as the UK experiences its third heatwave in a short span. The one-year-old twins were born prematurely at 31 weeks and diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) in January 2026, which may limit their ability to walk.

Having seven children of her own, Kerry empathizes with the struggles mothers can encounter, especially with vulnerable newborns. In her latest column for New! magazine, Kerry expressed her solidarity with Jesy, acknowledging the strength it takes to navigate such difficult circumstances.

Jesy shared a poignant video detailing her daughters’ condition, highlighting the challenges they face, including wearing spinal jackets and splints in the heat. Despite the heartbreaking situation, Jesy remains resolute in ensuring her daughters receive the necessary care and treatment to manage their condition.

Jesy’s advocacy for newborn testing for SMA within the NHS has been relentless. She recently attended a parliamentary debate on SMA screening, emphasizing the importance of early detection and treatment. Despite setbacks in the decision-making process, Jesy continues to fight for improved screening protocols to prevent other families from enduring similar challenges.

The outpouring of support for Jesy has been overwhelming, with celebrities like Dani Dyer and Billie Shepherd praising her strength and resilience as a mother. Jesy’s determination to raise awareness and push for better healthcare provisions for SMA patients reflects her unwavering commitment to her daughters’ well-being.
