Leigh-Anne Pinnock wants to move to New York.<\/p>\n
\nThe former Little Mix star \u2013 who announced this week that she and her footballer husband Andrew Gray are expecting their third child together \u2013 revealed she wants to relocate to the USA for her solo music career but her spouse is against the move.<\/p>\n
\nSpeaking on the Relationsh*t podcast with Kamie Crawford, she explained: \u201cIn the UK, there\u2019s a lot of Black female artists that aren\u2019t getting the support they deserve, and people are coming to America for that reason.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cHaving experienced everything I\u2019ve experienced, I\u2019m now like, \u2018I\u2019m going where I\u2019m loved\u2019. That helps my mental health.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI definitely feel like there\u2019s a market here for me and a fan base that I can keep nurturing. But I have to be here. And I\u2019ll be honest, it is really hard with kids.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cMy girls go to school in the UK. Like, if I come here, I can only really do two weeks at a time.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI want to move to New York, but my husband doesn\u2019t want to. I mean, I get it! It\u2019s frustrating.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nLeigh-Anne, 34, previously spent time in Greece, Turkey and Saudi Arabia for Andre\u2019s football career.<\/p>\n
\nLeigh-Anne and Andre, who married in 2023, are already parents to twin daughters, who were born in 2021.<\/p>\n
\nThe singer and her husband have consistently chosen not to reveal their daughters\u2019 names or show their faces publicly, explaining the decision was made to protect their privacy.<\/p>\n
\nEarlier this year, Leigh-Anne explained why she and Andre had decided to keep their daughters out of the public eye.<\/p>\n
\nShe told PEOPLE: \u201cI remember when they were born, I was going through this online hate thing and really seeing the toxicity of social media.<\/p>\n
\n \u201cI mean, I probably would\u2019ve 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.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI want them to be able to (choose) if they want to be famous or not, because once they\u2019re out there, they\u2019re out there. And I think that\u2019s such a big thing.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nShe said she and Andre had ultimately chosen to keep their daughters\u2019 identities private to \u201cprotect them\u201d.<\/p>\n
\nLeigh-Anne continued: \u201cIt\u2019s just a f****** scary place out there.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nAlthough she rarely shares details of her daughters publicly, Leigh-Anne included their voices at the end of Heaven, the closing track on her debut album My Ego Told Me To.<\/p>\n
\nThe song concludes with recordings of the twins, with Leigh-Anne singing: \u201cWhen you\u2019re here \/ This is the closest I\u2019ve ever, ever been to Heaven \/ All I need\u2019s right here.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nSpeaking about the track, she said: \u201cI cry every time (I listen to that song.) Oh, God, it\u2019s just so special.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nLeigh-Anne rose to fame after winning The X Factor in 2011 as one quarter of Little Mix alongside Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall and Jesy Nelson. <\/p>\n
\nThe group became one of Britain\u2019s most successful girl bands, achieving multiple UK number-one singles, BRIT Awards and sold-out arena tours before announcing an indefinite hiatus in 2022.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
