Perrie Edwards seems ready to heal old wounds with former Little Mix bandmate Jesy Nelson.
Edwards quietly showed her support for Nelson this week after liking an emotional Instagram post in which Jesy opened up about years of body image struggles and learning to embrace her postpartum body.
Nelson has not been on talking terms with her former bandmates, also including Leigh-Ann Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall, ever since her decision to leave the girl group in 2020 — two years before the band split up for good. However, it appears that time — and motherhood — has begun to heal old wounds for Nelson and Edwards, who also became a mom in 2021.
In the post, Jesy, 34, revealed she finally feels proud of herself after “33 years of extreme diets” and self-criticism.
Sharing black-and-white photos cradling her newborn twins, Ocean Jade and Story Monroe, the star wrote, “I never thought it would have taken having two beautiful baby girls, that I could have potentially lost, to make me realise how incredible my body actually is.”
She added that although her body has gone through some major changes, “it created the best gift that has ever happened to me.”
Edwards’ simple gesture of liking the post comes shortly after she admitted the pair’s falling out was like “losing a limb.”
Speaking to Glamour UK last month, Perrie explained, “It’s about a friendship that I once had, that I no longer have anymore… I was with her every day. We lived in each other’s pockets.”
