Leigh Anne Pinnock Announces Her Pregnancy As She Prepares To Give Birth
The singer, in her late-20s, has been finally blessed with her first child with fiancée Andre Gray.
The announcement came from soon-to-be-mother herself earlier in May 2021. And now, she shares a series of photos of herself fully nude while covering her breasts with her arms folded as she cradled her baby bump. She captioned, “I have dreamt of the moment to get to meet you, hold you guide you, teach you. It’s nearly time,” while hinting that her baby will be coming in a matter of weeks.
The post was immediately flooded with her fans and fellow stars congratulating her. Leigh-Anne announced her pregnancy in early May of 2021 via her Instagram account, writing,
“We’ve dreamed about this moment for so long and we can’t believe the dream is finally coming true… we can’t wait to meet you.”
Well, since her pregnancy announcement, Leigh was quick to wonder about the incredible phenomenon her body was about to go through to conceive a baby. While sharing about her pregnancy experience, she posted a snap of her growing bump, as she captioned:
“Time to give my body some credit, this is the hardest thing I have ever done. I have struggled over the past few weeks. Swollen hands and feet, bruised ribs and then chuck in a whole heap of hormones to the mix, but then I think about what’s actually going on inside this belly and I’m mind-blown. Creating life. I am so proud of how far I’ve come and so grateful for this blessing.”
Leigh-Anne Pinnock Is Engaged To Boyfriend Andre Gray
Leigh-Anne Pinnock is engaged to her soon-to-be-born baby’s father, footballer Andre Gray. The pair got engaged on the fourth anniversary of their first meeting, on 28 May 2020.
The couple first met in the May of 2016 when both of them were on separate holidays with their friends in Marbella. Romance quickly bloomed between them, and soon, they started dating. The couple became Instagram official in the January of 2017, as Leigh went on to share a PDA-packed picture of themselves on her Instagram account, captioning, “gonna miss this one.”
They started living together in 2018 and also spent their pandemic lockdown of 2020 together. And during one of the days, as they were spending their time together at home due to lockdown, the footballer got down on one knee to make a cheeky yet romantic proposal to his girlfriend while the couple was enjoying a beautiful date night on their fourth anniversary.
The duo is barely seen together; however, they won’t miss any chances to be together. Leigh-Anne and Andre made their first joint red carpet appearance at the 2018 Brit Awards, followed by their attendance in the 2019’s Brit Awards. They share such huge love for each other that once, Andre flew all the way to the USA just to surprise his girlfriend-turned-fiance while on her tour.
The exciting news was shared on Pinnock’s Instagram account shortly afterward, along with a series of snaps of the event’s happening, as she captioned it,
“Guys… wtf has just happened… He bloody did it, and I said yes. I’m marrying my soul mate, the man of my flipping dreams… I am lost for words, so I think I’m just going to go cry some more. @andregray_ I love you so much. My world is literally complete.”
What was even more surprising was the valuation of the engagement ring Leigh was proposed with. After the post of the singer showcasing her engagement ring, the Hello! Magazine consulted the jewelry experts Est1897 for an exclusive valuation of the ring, which was thought to be worth over 40k pounds. That’s the amount 9.2k pounds more than the average UK salary, which sits at 30.8k pounds.
Prior to dating Andre, Leigh-Anne was in an on-and-off relationship with footballer Jordan Kiffin for about three years, between 2013 and 2016.
