The former Little Mix star has revealed that her husband visited therapy after “betraying” her and explained how difficult it was to “lose trust” in her relationship.
Leigh-Anne Pinnock has opened up about how “heartbroken” she was after “losing trust” in her relationship, following a “betrayal” from her husband, Andre Gray.
The former Little Mix star married footballer Andre in 2023 and shares two twin children with him, but has now admitted that things in their relationship haven’t always been rosy. Instead, Andre, who “wanted to change”, went to therapy so that they could work on their romance.
Talking to Paloma Faith on her Mad Sad Bad podcast, Leigh-Anne said she and Andre “went through a weird time” where he “hurt” her. She said: “I went through a bit of a weird time with my husband actually and I think that sort of not being totally honest and losing trust and that kind of betrayal – I think like heartbreak is wild.

“It’s awful and especially someone that you’re so madly in love with and that they can hurt you.” She added that Andre had moved abroad to Greece to play for Aris Thessaloniki but realised he was being “selfish” and went to therapy to change.
Leigh-Anne said, “I think that person needs to want to change, and he did.” And I believe that you can go through a relationship if the other party isn’t willing to.
They must carry out the work, and they must turn things around because, once more, it’s not your turn. He attended therapy, and I believe that for us, it was the best thing.
He began playing abroad, and he realized that everything he was doing was not how a relationship should work, because it was more leisurely. It is egotistical.
Leigh-Anne has previously criticized Andre for “breaking her heart.” She shared in a video that was uploaded to TikTok in June 2024 that she learned that he had committed a crime that she found heartbreaking. She continued, “She learned the power of forgiveness,” in a conversation with Paloma.
I was taught the power of pardon, she said. The person who broke my heart went above and beyond to make a change for me because he is still there. It makes it worthwhile, in my opinion, if you can actually get to the other side and survive.
“Some people might say, “Oops, why are you still with them,” Or why do you continue to give them a chance? I suppose that can be seen as a weakness and putting your own needs before others, but I believe you alone are capable of discerning what is truly yours.
She concluded by stating that forgiveness for someone can be “healing” and that it is acceptable. According to Leigh-Anne, it is acceptable to give someone another chance, but it is not acceptable to let someone abuse you.
Make sure you have those barriers in place so you can protect yourself and determine when enough is enough. Being hurt helps to sort of make that armor up, like, “I’m not going through that again.” Don’t think of forgiveness as a weak action; it can be very healing and effective.
