The former Little Mix star, 34, and Zion, 27, ended their engagement last month following a difficult period caring for their daughters at the beginning of the year.
She said at the time that after four years together, they would remain 'united as co-parents' despite ending their romantic relationship.
In her new docuseries, Jesy Nelson: Life After Little Mix, Janice offered her thoughts on the doomed romance in scenes that were filmed months before their split.
She shared her initial opinion on Zion, stating that she didn't think he was the one.

Janice said: 'In the beginning, like I kept saying to Jesy, "he's not the one for you, he's too young, and he's not for you."'

Yet, Jesy's mum later clarified that her opinion of the rapper has changed as he 'proved himself'.
She said: 'I feel horrible now, like he has just proved himself one billion per cent.

'He's had such a positive calmness on her life. I think they've definitely found their soulmate in each other.'
In another scene, Janice shared her concerns about anyone who dates Jesy, as she questions their true intentions.
She said: 'I do always worry because she's got money, got a nice home, she's got quite a lot for someone so young.
'So I do worry with any boy she meets, are their intentions genuine?'
'But Zion was just so different,' she added.

Elsewhere in the documentary, Jesy's proposal to Zion is shown, which reopens a wound for the singer, given that they have now split.
During the proposal, Zion said: 'On another note, I just want to thank you for being the best partner I could ever ask for. I feel like you've helped me find a love that I even thought was possible. I just want you to know that'
The Amazon Prime show will also bring fresh heartache to Jesy when her proposal plays out on screen.
It shows the moment Zion opens up to Jesy on the beach while they discuss their new move to Cornwall.
Starring deeply at Jesy, Zion said: 'On another note, I just want to thank you for being the best partner I could ever ask for.

'I feel like you've helped me find a love that I even thought was possible. I just want you to know that.
'So on that note, I love you so, so much. You're my best friend, and you're the person I genuinely want to spend the rest of my life with.
'We've been through so much, good times, we've had our challenges but we will always come out stronger.
'And you've always been the best partner I could've ever asked for through thick and thin.
'So, will you marry me?'

Jesy and Zion got engaged in September
A besotted Jesy replied: 'Yes, of course. This is the most beautiful ring... Oh, I love you so much.'
It comes after Jesy discussed her 'really tough' break-up from the father of her twins Zion Foster, after they split following their daughters' diagnosis.
She ended her four-year relationship with Zion, just weeks after the couple announced their twin daughters, Ocean Jade and Story Monroe, had been diagnosed with SMA Type 1, a rare genetic condition that causes muscle wastage.
Jesy revealed the 'traumatic' series of events that ultimately led to the collapse of her romance with Zion, explaining the dynamic between them shifted and their priority is now co-parenting their daughters.

She told The Daily Mail: 'We have been through such a traumatic experience and for us, our girls are our main priority and our main focus.
'We want to give them the most positive, happy and uplifting time and energy and because we have both been through such a traumatic experience, the energy wasn't right between us, which is understandable.
'We are still friends and we are still united in co-parenting our daughters, they are our main focus, that's all we can do, be the best possible parents we can right now.'
The singer revealed last month that their daughters had been diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1 (SMA1)
Jesy had hoped to finally embrace motherhood after a complicated pregnancy, during which she learned her daughters were monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) identical twins, and had twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), a rare condition where both babies share a placenta.

She was relieved when they were born healthy, but her joy was shattered six months later when the SMA diagnosis arrived.
Now campaigning for all newborns to be tested for spinal muscular atrophy at birth, Jesy insists that early diagnosis is crucial, as a one-time infusion can significantly improve muscle development.
She admitted she still feels 'sad' and 'angry' that her daughters weren't identified within the vital early window. She said doctors had told her not to compare her twins' growth with other babies due to their premature birth - advice that later compounded her distress.
The star added: 'I am taking each day as it comes because I feel like right now, especially with the girls' diagnosis, it's all I can really do. If I try to look too far into the future, I will drive myself crazy.
'The girls are doing really well and they're happy, that's all I can really ask for.'
