Rumours have been swirling for weeks

Author: William MarriottPublished 1st Sep 2020

Little Mix's Jesy Nelson has seemingly confirmed her romance with actor Sean Sagar, weeks after denying they were an item and insisting they were just friends.

The singer, who split up with Love Island's Chris Hughes in April, uploaded a photo of Sean cooking to her Instagram Story, captioning it, 'God I'm a lucky girl.'

Sean, who is most famous for his role in the BBC One drama Our Girl, can be seen standing at the stove, dressed in a pair of joggers, a grey vest and a baseball cap, stirring the food as Jesy gushes over him.

Over on Sean's Instagram account, he revealed the pair were cooking chicken fajitas, captioning the picture, 'His and hers', before adding, 'And yes, I am cooking.'

It's not the first time Jesy has given fans an insight into her cosy nights in with her new beau. Several weeks ago, she posted a photo of their Burger King meal, which saw Sean tucking into a Chicken Royale, a cheeseburger, chips and Chicken Fries – with sauces from Nandos.

But Jesy surprised fans, as she revealed she was only having chicken strips and carrot sticks.

Jesy's post about her love life comes after she told fans 'there is no one in the world like you', after sharing an inspiring message about weight gain.

Posting a behind-the-scenes picture from Little Mix's latest music video 'Holiday', the 29-year-old wrote, 'I currently look nothing like this atm just so you all know 🤣 I’m a stone heavier since making this video from eating whatever the f*** I’ve wanted and living my best life.' (sic)

She added, 'For any of you struggling mentally with how you feel about yourselfs right now just know I’m there with ya with my podgy belly and chubby cheeks☺️ Remember we’re all human and we all have our good days and bad days and days when we feel banging and other days when we feel absolutely rotten and that’s ok 🤷🏻‍♀️.'

Preach it, Jesy.

Despite the rumours, the couple are yet to confirm or deny the apparent split, so we have our fingers crossed that they can get back on track!

2020: Sean Sagar

In July 2020, Jesy was forced to deny rumours she was dating Our Girl actor Sean Sagar. After the pair were spotted spending time together, a representative for Jesy told OK! Online, "Jesy has adamantly denied that she is dating Sean Sagar and states that they are just friends."

However, just one week later Sean got fans talking by leaving a flirty comment on Jesy's selfie.
