Leigh-Anne Pinnock ‘hits out at husband Andre Gray at first solo gig’

Leigh-Anne Pinnock is said to have taken a swipe at her husband Andre Gray during her first solo gig in London on Wednesday night.

The singer, 32, celebrated the release of her EP, No Hard Feelings, with an concert at Lafayette, with her footballer partner, also 32, in the audience.

However, after belting out her new song and some of her biggest hits with Little Mix, Leigh-Anne reportedly opened up about the hurt that Andre has caused her.

She recently revealed their relationship had been ‘hell’ over the past two years because they only see each other around two days each month due to their work commitments.

Andre plays football in Saudi Arabia, while Leigh-Anne remained in the UK to work on her new music and raising their two-year-old twin girls.

According to The Sun, during the gig a spoken word interlude played as Leigh-Anne got changed off stage, where she opened up on the difficult period, mentioning ‘crying’ and asking her husband: ‘Why would you do this to us?’

They report she said: ‘Exciting but dangerous. Six months of bliss and hell. A stolen kiss becoming pure as us together. But how do you say serves me right?

‘The images, the thoughts. The phone that once connect-ed us, now a constant reminder. What are you doing? What is going on? Why would you do this to us?’

She added: ‘All I could see was white from my bed’s mystery eyes. My duvet keeping me warm now. The patterns, the running, the crying? Our forbidden beginning.

‘What I know is that I love you. That we are a whole made from two. So I chose to open my heart to forgive. Restart. We are sunshine and summer. Destined to last.

‘I’ve seen who you have chosen to become as our two became four completing our circle. You chose us. You chose not to be a replica. You know how to be a dad, and I don’t know how you do.’

Much of Leigh-Anne’s debut EP focuses on her rocky relationship with Andre, who she tied the knot with last summer.

Last month, she opened up about the difficulties of their long-distance romance and admitted ‘I can’t do it anymore’.

Speaking on the Table Manners podcast, Leigh-Anne explained: ‘We have a long distance relationship. He lives in Saudi, he plays football there.

‘So for the last two years we’ve been apart, basically, seeing each other for maybe two days a month. It’s been hell to be honest.’

When asked if he is likely to move away again when his current work contract ends, she confessed: ‘I can’t do it anymore. I can’t do it. I think we have to wait and see. 

Leigh-Anne was questioned on if she resents Andre for living so far away while she cares for their two children. 

She said: ‘I try not to because I know what he’s doing it for, he’s doing it for us. But it’s so hard though, having two two-and-a-half year olds.’

Speaking about his contract in Saudi Arabia, she continued: ‘It actually ends this summer so he’s home next week. I’m so excited.

‘Then family – valued, beautiful time. But we don’t know [what’s next]. But that’s the thing about being with a footballer, you don’t know where you’re going to be.

‘I can’t move with him anywhere because obviously I can’t have a career where he’s going to go. I have to be local to home.’

It comes after Leigh-Anne dropped her fourth single Forbidden Fruit last month, which contained lyrics that hinted she cheated on her ex to be with Andre.

She described the song as having ‘sweaty, sultry, reggae dance vibes’ and revealed it tells the story of when she and Andre first met.

And, if Forbidden Fruit’s lyrics are anything to go by, Leigh-Anne was less than faithful to her ex on her journey to forever with Andre.

Leigh-Anne croons: ‘Where do I begin? Woke up in somebody’s bed, oh no. Got one I should stay with and one I should stay away from.

‘He was doing him and I wasn’t really innocent, oh no … Devil in a dress, had you powerless knew it wasn’t right soon as we left together.’

Leigh-Anne even hints that Andre cheated too with final lyric: ‘Broke a couple hearts just to be forever, if they mad, whatever’.

The stunning couple married in 2023 and share twin daughters, two, whose names they have not revealed.

Leigh-Anne’s last known boyfriend before him is Jordan Kiffin, another footballer, whom she dated for three years until 2016, the year she met Andre.

Forbidden Fruit follows Leigh-Anne’s debut single Don’t Say Love, My Love, and Stealin’ Love. 

Talking about the making of the song, Leigh-Anne shared: ‘I wrote Forbidden Fruit at a writing camp in Miami, and it’s actually about how Andre and I met. 

‘This one gives me sweaty, sultry, reggae dance vibes. The way the beat drops makes me so excited to bring this one to the stage.
