Jesy Nelson

Jesy Nelson, born Jessica Louise Nelson on June 14, 1991, in Romford, London, England, first gained fame as a member of Little Mix after the group won The X Factor UK in 2011. As part of the group, she contributed to one of the most successful runs in British pop music history, with Little Mix selling millions of records worldwide and becoming the biggest girl group of their generation. The group released six studio albums together, all of which charted in the UK top five.

During her time with Little Mix, Jesy was open about her struggles with online bullying and its impact on her mental health. In 2019, she produced and starred in the BBC documentary “Jesy Nelson: Odd One Out,” which detailed her experiences with cyberbullying and body image issues. The documentary won the National Television Award for Best Factual Entertainment in 2020 and was widely praised for raising awareness about the effects of online harassment.

In December 2020, Jesy made the difficult decision to leave Little Mix, citing the toll that being in the group had taken on her mental health. She subsequently signed a solo record deal with Polydor Records and released her debut solo single “Boyz” featuring Nicki Minaj in October 2021. The single debuted in the UK top five and signaled her move toward a more R&B and hip-hop influenced sound compared to Little Mix’s pop style.

With an estimated net worth of $8 million in 2026, Jesy’s wealth reflects her years of success with Little Mix, including album sales, tours, and merchandise. She has continued to build her brand through social media, where she maintains a large following, and through her solo music endeavors. She has also earned through brand partnerships and her continued presence in the British entertainment industry.
