Since they went public with their romance at the start of 2019, Little Mix singer Jesy Nelson and former Love Island star Chris Hughes have been totally smitten with each other, with Chris even admitting he's keen to start a family with the 'Wings' singer.
After Little Mix dropped their brand new single 'Break Up Song' on Friday 27th March, Jesy, who is self-isolating at home with her mum Janice, spoke to Mail Online where she admitted marriage and kids is definitely on the cards at some point.
However, it sounds like Jesy isn't going to rush into any major commitments just yet, telling the publication, "I'm still a kid myself."
When probed about the couple's future plans, Jesy said, "Yeah in the future, one day. I'm a kid myself right now so I'm not even thinking about having a kid right now.
"I definitely want to get married, that's for sure. When that will be, I don't know."

Chris spoke out about the split for the first time in an interview in July 2020 with Vicky Pattison on her podcast, The Secret To, saying that being in lockdown was actually quite a good thing. He said, "You can actually focus on yourself, which is always a good thing. For me as well, I had a break up! So I needed a bit of focusing on my own stuff. It happened right at the start."
As Vicky said that she couldn't believe the pair had split, Chris admitted, "It was tough. Time's a healer, you don't believe it when you're in the moment. I don't think I've ever felt heartbroken or anything. And then a couple of weeks down the line, you start thinking about it less and less. And the next thing, you're good as gold."
The 27-year-old added that opening up about his feelings to his manager had been a huge help for him, "It's good to talk to people like that, you're the same as well, life experience. People get it and it reflects on you and next minute you feel right as rain."
