Perrie Edwards married her footballer boyfriend Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in Portugal this weekend, with former Little Mix bandmates Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock in attendance. But one key figure was notably absent: Jesy Nelson, who stayed home caring for her twin daughters Ocean and Story, born with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), a rare genetic neuromuscular disease. According to the Daily Mail, the reunion hopes that briefly surfaced in January after Jesy revealed her twins' diagnosis have been derailed by the release of her Amazon documentary, and Perrie has now stated any reunion is impossible.

Jesy Nelson's Absence: Caring for Twins with Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Jesy Nelson was not at Perrie Edwards' wedding, as she remained at home looking after her twin daughters, who suffer from SMA, a condition that means they will likely never walk. The Daily Mail reports that Jesy split from her ex-fiancé Zion Foster and is now a single mother navigating a life-changing diagnosis. This personal crisis had briefly prompted the other Little Mix members to reach out, with Jesy revealing in January that the singers had offered support. But that truce did not last, as the wedding absence shows.

The Docuseries That Reopened Old Wounds: 'Jesy Nelson: Life After Little Mix'

The release of Jesy's Amazon documentary in February, titled Jesy Nelson: Life After Little Mix, has been cited by the Daily Mail's source as the reason tensions reignited. The documentary charts Jesy's struggles within the band and her depatrure in 2020 , and has angered the other members. Perrie Edwards, in a recent appearance on Jamie Laing's podcast, said that after watching it she realized she didn't have the capacity for someone like Jesy in her life anymore. The documentary appears to have prevented any possible reconciliation.

Perrie Edwards’ Podcast Declaration: ‘There Is No Going Back’

Perrie Edwards, 32, told Jamie Laing on his podcast on Wednesday that Jesy had "upset and hurt me in a way where there is no going back." She accused her former bandmate of not taking accountability for her behavior leading up to her exit. Perrie said: "What annoys me the most is when situations like this happen, and the other person doesn't take any accountability. That boils my blood." The source told the Daily Mail that Perrie had cut Jesy out of her life for good, adding that there has been an "obvious PR campaign" to ensure the trio came out on top.

A Three-Against-One Dynamic? The Alleged PR Campaign Post-2020

According to the Daily Mail's associate of Jesy, the dynamic has been one of "three of them against one," with a feeling of ganging up. The source noted that after Jesy left the band in 2020, the trio—Perrie, Jade, and Leigh-Anne—continued as a trio before splitting, but they remain close friends. In 2021, Leigh-Anne accused Jesy of "blackfishing" in her solo video for "Boyz," which became a major showbiz scandal. The source claimed that the three have never fully apologized or buried the hatchet, even after Jesy's twins' diagnosis. The trio's continued silence on the SMA situation and their refusal to publicly acknowledge Jesy's struggles is a point of contention.

What Remains Unsaid: Jesy’s Account vs. the Trio’s Silence on Accountability

Several questions remain unanswered. The Daily Mail reports that Jesy claimed in her documentary she felt unsupported during her mental health battles while in the band. However, the trio has not publicly responded to those specific allegations.. What exactly does Perrie expect Jesy to take accountability for? Has the trio ever publicly addressed the SMA support that Jesy mentioned in January? And why has no reconciliation been attempted despite the personal tragedy? The source suggests that the feud is now beyond repair, with Perrie ruling out any reunion. Without the other members' version of events beyond Perrie's brief podcast comments, the full picture remains incomplete.
