At long last, Leigh-Anne Pinnock has confirmed that she tied the knot with her husband Andre Gray nearly two months on from their dreamy private ceremony in Jamaica — and has given us a sneak peek, too.
Rumours have been swirling over Pinnock’s nuptials for weeks following her posts about pre-wedding celebrations on the Caribbean island, though she stayed schtum on the details of the actual ceremony until now.
Today the Little Mix singer revealed that she and Gray said “I do” two months ago at an intimate, beach-side ceremony on June 3, where friends and family were present.
In a series of pictures shared to Instagram, Pinnock showcased her experience getting ready with her sisters and her bridesmaids, as well as shots of her kissing her husband Andre under a massive floral palm tree creation on a Jamaican beach.
It was suspected that the pair had wed in Jamaica after the couple hosted their pre-wedding celebrations there, and later posted snaps from their honeymoon on the island. Andre Gray, who is an English professional footballer, is of Jamaican heritage and plays for the Jamaican national team.
Photos from the wedding show Pinnock looking resplendent in her wedding gown, which featured a huge train and a semi-sheer bodice with cascading, icicle-esque embellishments. Her veil was affixed to her sleek up-do, with not a stray hair in sight, and a close-up shot of Pinnock beaming for the photographer shows off her simple bridal make-up, with a nude lip, subtle smoky winged eyeliner, and gently brushed-up brows. In the final photo shared by Pinnock, the train of her dress appears to carry a message, though the writing has been blurred out.
Gray and Pinnock have been dating since 2016 and became engaged in May 2020 after celebrating four years together. Gray proposed on their anniversary, with Leigh-Anne sharing how she was caught unawares and thought his anniversary celebrations were just a bit “much” that year. “He basically set up this outdoor cinema, so there was a walkway of fairy lights and candles,” she told Jade Thirlwall on Thirlwall’s lockdown web series Served!, “And I was like, ‘this is a bit much for an anniversary, what’s going on here?’
“So we started watching a film, and then halfway through it cut out and our song started playing, and then there were videos and pictures of us and there was this book on the screen that said, ‘four years and forever counting’, and it kept opening up with pictures of us and stuff. And then it just said, ‘Will you marry me?’ and he was on one knee.”
The couple announced they were expecting a child in May 2021, the same month that bandmate Perrie Edwards revealed her pregnancy with Liverpool football player Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Two months later, the Little Mix singer revealed she had given birth to twins, sharing on Instagram: “We asked for a miracle, we were given two... our Cubbies are here.”
Edwards and Oxlade-Chamberlain were absent from Pinnock’s wedding, which Edwards explained was due to pressures to work on her solo project, but bandmate Jade Thirlwall and her boyfriend Jordan Stephens were present.
