Jesy Neslon shares emotional milestone as daughter says ‘Muma’ for first time

Jesy Nelson has revealed that one of her daughters has hit a new milestone months on from being diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Type 1.

In January, the singer shared the devastating news that her daughters, Ocean Jade and Story Monroe Nelson-Foster, had been diagnosed with the rare genetic condition that may prevent them from ever walking.

Posting on Instagram on Monday (27 April), the singer shared a video of the Story lying in bed as she says the word “Muma” for the first time as an overjoyed Nelson can be heard celebrating in the background.

“Story said Muma for the first time, my life is complete,” she said.
