Former Little Mix star Jesy Nelson, 33, revealed that she “almost got a boob job” two years ago after a doctor told her she “needed it.” Opening up about her decision not to go under the knife, the singer shared that the suggestion came during a particularly vulnerable period in her life, which led her to reconsider what would truly make her feel whole and loved.
In an emotional Instagram Story, Nelson posted a clip from the podcast Sisters In The City, hosted by Anna and Mandi Vakili, who discuss their own cosmetic journeys. Captioning the video, Jesy wrote, “I was actually going to get a boob job two years ago because a doctor once told me I needed it.” Reflecting on that time, she admitted, “It was a very insecure stage of my life.”
Nelson’s reveal comes after a series of ups and downs, from her highly publicized exit from Little Mix in 2020 to her recent reported split from R&B singer Zion Foster. The singer hinted at how her inner struggles led her to consider surgery as a fix for insecurities, saying, “I didn’t really know that about myself until I did real work on my inner self that no boob job would fix that.”
Despite the pressures, Nelson ultimately decided against surgery, sending a powerful message to her fans about self-love and acceptance: “We are all born different for a reason, and that’s f****** beautiful.” She shared advice for young fans considering cosmetic surgery, warning that these decisions are often irreversible and may even lead to a cycle of dissatisfaction.
While Nelson’s decision ultimately took a positive turn, her personal life remains complicated. Just this week, her former bandmate Perrie Edwards hinted at a strained friendship with Nelson, which inspired a new song. Following Edwards’ comments, Jesy posted a cryptic Instagram Story reading, “The internet is gross and so are humans.” The split between Nelson and Edwards, once part of the sisterhood that was Little Mix, adds an air of mystery to Jesy’s reflections on friendship and fame.
Beyond the friendship fallout, Nelson also recently ended her relationship with Foster after two years of on-and-off dating. Sources say that their age difference and creative tensions over unreleased music may have played a role in the split.
With recent admissions of self-doubt, body image struggles, and relationship woes, Jesy Nelson has given fans a deeply candid look at her journey. Her message? Beauty is more than skin-deep, and sometimes the hardest battles are the ones fought within.
