Singer Jesy Nelson is certainly loving life right now! As well as being part of Little Mix, one of the biggest girl bands in the world, Jesy is preparing for another tour in 2019 and the girls have recently dropped their brand new album 'LM5'.

Although Jesy split from her ex-boyfriend Harry James in 2018, things are certainly looking up for the 'Shout Out To My Ex' singer, with no signs of anything slowing down! She's now dating Love Island's Chris Hughes, and the pair are SERIOUSLY loved-up right now.

After sharing matching pictures on their Instagram profiles of themselves kissing, Chris went on KISS FM's Breakfast show to confirm that Jesy is now officially his girlfriend. Aww!

He said, "I'm the happiest I've ever been. It's official, she's my girlfriend. I'm so happy, she's the nicest girl I've ever met, this is no exaggeration, she's got a heart like she was your mother or something. She's so caring. We just get on like best mates, and that's the beauty about it."

Check out the seven reasons why we wish we were Jesy Nelson's best friend.

1. She can pull off any hairstyle

'DNA' singer Jesy has had a wide-range of hairstyles during her time in the public eye. Jesy often experiments with her hair, whether it's the colour or style, she always looks amazing!

2. Little Mix have their own make-up and perfume range

In 2018 Jesy, along with the rest of the Little Mix girls, released their own makeup 'LMX by Little Mix' AND perfume range 'Style'.

We could definitely grab some freebies from Jesy! 🙈

3. She's best friends with Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock

Since winning The X Factor back in 2011, Jesy Nelson, Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock have spent most of their time together, creating a super strong friendship. The girls are always there for each other, with the Little Mix bond being unbreakable!
