Who is Jesy Nelson dating?
As mentioned above, Jesy was seen getting close to Emily in Paris star Lucien Laviscount on Saturday, November 27, 2021.
The loved-up pair were pictured snuggled tightly on a ricksaw ride in London after sharing drinks in Mayfair and Soho, earlier in the evening.
Jesy appeared to go for a kiss while the 29-year-old actor looked just as happy.
"She was letting her hair down on a Saturday night and is embarrassed her flirtation with Lucien has come to light – but there is nothing more between them."
Lucien was then pictured moving on from Jesy on Monday, November 29, 2021, as he stepped out of the British Fashion Awards - which took place in the Royal Albert Hall in London - alongside actress and former model Wallis Day.
Adding drama to the revelation, Lucien is said to have dated Leigh-Anne Pinnock... one of Jesy's former Little Mix bandmates.

Why did Jesy Nelson leave Little Mix?
Jesy has left Little Mix, as of December 14, 2020.
On November 17, 2020, it was announced that Jesy is taking “extended time-off” from Little Mix for private medical reasons.
But that proposed break has become a permanent change for the band.
She wrote on Instagram: "The truth is, recently being in the band has really taken a toll on my mental health. I find the constant pressure of being in a girl group and living up to expectations very hard."
The singer had missed several appearances including the final of their BBC1 show The Search and their hosting slot at the MTV European Music Awards, sparking speculation.
At the time a spokesman for the group said: "Jesy is having extended time off from Little Mix for private medical reasons.
"We will not be issuing any further comment currently and ask media to please respect her privacy at this time."
While discussing their ten-year career on the Jonathan Ross Show, Perrie Edwards, 27, said: “I don’t think we expected it to be this hard.
"When you’re young and think of being a popstar, you think, ‘Oh I want everyone to love me and ask for my autograph…’ then you get thrown into it and you’re like, ‘Holy s*** balls it’s a lot.’
"We don’t rest, we don’t sleep. But we love success so we’re willing to work for it.”
Who is Jesy Nelson's ex-boyfriend Sean Sagar?

However, it was reported that the pair have officially called time on their romance after nine months in January 2021.
A friend said: “Jesy and Sean have decided to take some time apart. It’s such a shame as they made a lovely couple but recently things haven’t been right between them.
"Jesy just left Little Mix and is working hard on herself right now — she has to put herself first.
“Lockdown has made it really difficult too, so for now Jesy and Sean are taking time apart from each other.”
