‘Little Mix’ star Leigh-Anne Pinnock reveals why she can’t move to US for career in music: ‘It’s frustrating’

Pregnant Leigh-Anne Pinnock is looking forward to moving to New York to pursue her music career, but there is one obstacle.

The former Little Mix star, who is all set to welcome her third child with her footballer husband Andrew Gray, opened up about her desire to move to the USA for her solo music career.

However, the English actress and singer is facing resistance from her spouse.

She told Kamie Crawford, at Relationsh*t podcast, “In the UK, there’s a lot of Black female artists that aren’t getting the support they deserve, and people are coming to America for that reason.

“Having experienced everything I’ve experienced, I’m now like, ‘I’m going where I’m loved’. That helps my mental health.

She continued, “I definitely feel like there’s a market here for me and a fan base that I can keep nurturing. But I have to be here. And I’ll be honest, it is really hard with kids.

“My girls go to school in the UK. Like, if I come here, I can only really do two weeks at a time.

“I want to move to New York, but my husband doesn’t want to. I mean, I get it! It’s frustrating,” Leigh-Anne added.

Leigh-Anne has been to Saudi Arabia, Greece, and Turkey to support her husband’s football career.

She got married to Andrew in 2023 and welcomed two daughters back in 2021.
