Perrie Edwards Reaches Out to Jesy Nelson: Healing Begins for Little Mix Sisters
DRAMA ALERT! Perrie Edwards Extends Olive Branch to Former Bandmate Jesy Nelson After Heartbreaking Fallout
The drama between Little Mix's original members continues to unfold, and it looks like a tentative truce may be on the horizon. Perrie Edwards, 32, has shown her support for former bandmate Jesy Nelson, 34, after she shared an inspiring post about body positivity on Instagram.
Jesy's heartfelt message detailed her struggles with body image over the years, revealing that she had been extreme dieting since childhood and even considered undergoing plastic surgery. However, motherhood has given her a new perspective, and she's finally learned to love herself, flaws and all. The stunning black-and-white photos accompanying her post showed Jesy proudly showcasing her curves while cradling her adorable twin babies, Ocean Jade and Story Monroe.
Perrie Edwards' kind gesture was not lost on Little Mix fans, who took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to express their excitement over the possibility of a reunion. "Perrie Edwards liked Jesy Nelson's post on Instagram... I am dreaming?" one fan wrote, while another joked, "Mixerland is healing! I can go party with Jade in peace."
This move comes as a surprise, given that Perrie had previously revealed how Jesy's departure from the group left her feeling like she'd lost a limb. In an interview with Glamour UK, Perrie explained how she struggled to adapt to life without her close friend and bandmate by her side.
"It was like losing a limb," Perrie confessed. "I was with her every day. We lived in each other's pockets." She even went on to admit that the heartbreak inspired one of the songs on her upcoming solo album, set for release on September 26.
The rift between Perrie and Jesy began when Jesy announced her departure from Little Mix in December 2020, citing the constant pressure of being in a girl group. Since then, there have been whispers of tension between the two former friends, with Perrie hinting that their friendship had "broken down."
However, it seems like motherhood has brought them closer together, and Jesy's inspiring post may be the catalyst for a renewed friendship. As one fan astutely observed, "Perrie x Jesy... Pesy... Jerrie... OMG WE'RE BACK!"
In related news, Jesy Nelson's BBC documentary Odd One Out, which aired in 2019, shed light on her struggles with mental health and online trolling. The documentary won the Factual category at the National Television Awards in 2020, and its impact cannot be overstated.
As Jesy continues to heal and find herself, it's heartening to see her former bandmates extending a supportive hand. Will this olive branch lead to a full-fledged reunion? Only time will tell, but for now, it's clear that the Little Mix girls are still in each other's corner – even if they're not sharing group selfies just yet.
In conclusion, this is a story of love, loss, and learning to forgive. As Jesy so eloquently put it, "I can honestly say I've never felt prouder of my body and what it has been through!" Who knows? Maybe this newfound appreciation for herself will be the key to healing past wounds and rekindling friendships that seemed lost forever.
