Leigh-Anne Pinnock has sparked concern among her fanbase after revealing she remains with “the person who broke [her] heart.” The singer, known for her time with Little Mix, shared personal details about her relationship with former Premier League footballer Andre Gray.
The couple, both 32, married in Jamaica during the summer of 2023. Their journey together seemed promising until Andre’s career took him from Watford Football Club to Aris FC in Greece, and later to Al-Riyadh in Saudi Arabia. This transition led to a long-distance relationship, which Leigh-Anne has described as challenging. “We have a long-distance relationship. He lives in Saudi, he plays football there. So for the last two years, we’ve been apart, seeing each other maybe two days a month. It’s been hell to be honest,” she admitted.
In a recent interview with Dose of Society on TikTok, Leigh-Anne disclosed that despite the heartbreak, she and Andre are still together. When asked about lessons from her last heartbreak, she emphasized the power of forgiveness. “I learnt the power of forgiveness. I’m still with the person who broke my heart. He went out of his way to change for me. If you can get to the other side and make it through, it makes it all worthwhile,” she shared.
Her candidness has left fans divided. Some worry about her well-being, questioning the sustainability of such changes. Comments on TikTok reflect these concerns, with one user stating, “The change is only temporary, sis. All the best, though.”
However, others praise her honesty and her decision to share her vulnerability. Supportive comments highlighted the strength it takes to forgive and work through relationship struggles.
Leigh-Anne and Andre’s relationship began in 2016 when they met at a nightclub in Marbella, Spain. They got engaged in 2020, with Andre proposing in their back garden. The couple welcomed twins in August 2021, shortly after their engagement during the Covid-19 lockdown.
Leigh-Anne’s revelations underscore the complexities of maintaining a relationship amidst personal and professional challenges. While her journey has been fraught with difficulties, she remains hopeful and committed to making it work.
