Little Mix star Leigh-Anne Pinnock is looking towards the future with boyfriend Andre Gray and admits they both want to get married ‘so bad’.
The couple have been dating since 2016 and moved into their first home together two years later. Although they’re not yet engaged, Leigh-Anne confirms marriage is definitely on the cards for the couple.
However, finding the time is a little difficult due to Leigh-Anne’s busy schedule touring with Little Mix and Andre’s footballing duties with Watford FC meaning he’s also constantly travelling.
‘I’m just excited. We both want it so bad. It’s always been hard though with obviously being in the group and never knowing when to go, “Right girls, I’m going to go off and do this thing”,’ Leigh-Anne told Metro.co.uk as Little Mix released their new single Break Up Song.
‘It’s not something I’ve actually really thought about because we’re always so busy, but it’s in the back of my head.
‘If I wasn’t in Little Mix we probably would have started planning already. We’re both really excited so when the time comes, then yeah, we’ll be ready,’ she continued.
Like the rest of the country, Leigh-Anne and Andre are currently self-isolating together at home due to the coronavirus pandemic.
It’s given them the chance to spend quality time in each other’s company as Leigh-Anne admits: ‘We don’t really spend a lot of time together as we’d like because he’s always in hotels for football, I’m really busy.
‘We don’t see each other that much, even though we live together so it’s really strange.’
Despite being pretty much stuck in the same house, the Woman Like Me singer reveals they’ve been getting along great.
‘We don’t argue though, so that’s good,’ she revealed.
‘We’re lucky because we’ve got quite a big house so we kind of just can go into different rooms in the house. We don’t even see each other so we can do that if we want.
‘We’ve kind of been doing our own little thing a little bit, which we would never normally do.’
The coronavirus pandemic hasn’t stopped Little Mix from dropping their anticipated new single Break Up Song.
The track sees a departure from the edgier sounds of their recent singles such as Bounce Back, and instead throws us back to the 80s.
And with everything that’s going on at the moment, it’s exactly the kind of feel-good escapism fans need right now.
‘This is probably my favourite Little Mix song. A bold statement but I love it. It’s a grower as well which is also good,’ Leigh-Anne stated.
The 28-year-old continued: ‘We think we work well when we have themes for songs. Like Shout Out To My Ex , had such a theme with obviously everything going on at the time.
‘So we thought, let’s choose an era and explore that.
‘It wasn’t actually always in the running for the first single. For some reason it just wasn’t finished and it was just never in the running basically. And then we were listening back to the stuff we had, we realised we completely forgot about it. We were like, “What the hell this is such a tune, we need to finish it!”’
Break Up Song is a fairly ironic title as the singers are all in relationships at the moment.
But Leigh-Anne explained: ‘I think everybody needs help through a break-up.
‘We just didn’t really think too much about what the song was about. We just loved it and thought you know what, it’s got such a good message. It’s so happy and uplifting and it just felt like a no-brainer. And we wanted to go back to the Little Mix pop bangers that we were doing. I felt that we were missing that for a while.’
As for the worst break-up she’s ever had, Leigh-Anne admitted: ‘I feel like if it was to happen now, that would be my worst break-up.
‘Because this is the most serious relationship I’ve ever been in so I feel like this would be the one that cuts the deepest.’
Little Mix’s new single Break Up Song is out now.
