Leigh-Anne Pinnock is expecting her third child with husband Andre Gray.
The singer shared the pregnancy news on Instagram with a video filmed inside a recording studio. The clip opens with close-up shots of Pinnock and then zooms out to reveal her baby bump.
“As one chapter ends, another begins,” she captioned the post.
Pinnock, 34, and Gray are already parents to twin daughters, whom they welcomed in 2021. The couple have chosen not to publicly share their daughters’ names or show their faces.
In a February interview with People, the mom-to-be explained why she and Gray have decided to keep their children out of the public eye.
“I remember when they were born, I was going through this online hate thing and really seeing the toxicity of social media,” she said. “I mean, I probably would’ve still decided to not show their faces anyway, but that just kind of confirmed it for me. I want them to be able to make that decision.”
“I want them to be able to choose if they want to be famous or not, because once they’re out there, they’re out there,” she continued. “And I think that’s such a big thing. It’s just a f—ing scary place out there.”
While fans won’t be seeing the twins anytime soon, their voices can be heard at the end of “Heaven,” the closing track on My Ego Told Me To.
“I cry every time I listen to that song,” Pinnock said. “It’s actually my favorite song of all time, to be honest.”
Pinnock rose to fame as a member of Little Mix after the group won The X Factor in 2011. The quartet went on to become one of the best-selling girl groups in U.K. history before announcing an indefinite hiatus in 2022.
