Leigh-Anne Pinnock has shared the first picture of her new boyfriend Andre Gray on Instagram.
The 25-year-old singer has reportedly been dating the soccer star since late 2016 and has posted a sweet snap of them together on the photo-sharing website.
She captioned the photograph, in which Andre is cuddling her from behind: "Gonna miss this one (sic)"
The Little Mix singer is poised to embark on another tour with her bandmates while Andre will remain in the UK, where he plays for Burnley F.C., meaning they are set to spend a prolonged period apart.
Leigh-Anne’s eye-catching Instagram post came shortly after she rubbished critics of Little Mix’s skimpy outfits.
The band, which also includes Jesy Nelson, Perrie Edwards and Jade Thirlwall, have been subjected to criticism about their raunchy fashion sense, most notably when Spice Girls star Mel C advised them to tone it down.
But Leigh-Anne has defended the ‘Touch’ hitmakers, saying they’ll continue to wear what makes them feel "comfortable".
She explained: "I think with us, we love to just wear what we want to wear. When we feel comfortable on stage, we’re not really interested in the negative comments that people are saying about them being provocative.
"I don’t even think they’re that provocative if I’m honest! Beyonce and Lady Gaga were all wearing leotards on-stage and if I’m honest, it’s actually quite easy to move in so that’s probably why we choose them, because we do so much dancing and choreography!
"We are all so body confident now and that has taken a lot of time to build and the fact that we are, I think that’s an amazing thing and we want to encourage our fans and everyone to be exactly the same way – wear what you want and be comfortable in it and sod what everyone else thinks!"
