Leigh-Anne Pinnock turned heads while promoting her latest music at the iconic Empire State Building in New York City on Wednesday.

The singer, 34, is set to release her debut solo album My Ego Told Me To in February.

The singer, previously with the group Little Mix, stayed warm and stylish on her day in New York City with a short, grey coat worn as a dress, cinched at the waist with a thick, bronze belt.

Leigh-Anne wore black, woolly boots with sheer stockings to make her legs look longer.

The singer seemed happy and relaxed while posing for photos on the Empire State Building’s observation deck.

Leigh-Anne is releasing her album on her own terms on February 20th. She left her record label, Warner Records, in January because they weren’t able to provide enough financial support for her new music.

She shared that balancing motherhood to two children with her husband, footballer Andre Gray (who plays for Turkish team Fatih Karagümrük S.K.), and building her own career after leaving Little Mix has been difficult.

She recently shared that balancing motherhood with starting her own business and becoming fully independent has been a challenging but exciting experience.

You know, looking back, I’m so proud of how far I’ve come. I’ve really learned to bounce back from challenges, and honestly, that’s been the biggest gift. Now, finally being able to share my album – and having it be exactly how I envisioned it – is just an incredible feeling. It’s a dream come true, and a testament to not giving up!

Leigh-Anne and her husband, Andre Gray, got married in June 2023, two years after they had their twins.

Perrie Edwards recently revealed that her marriage faced difficulties when her husband lost her trust after first moving to Saudi Arabia to play for the football club Al Riyadh.

In a conversation with Paloma Faith on her podcast, she shared that she and her husband went through a difficult period. She described it as a time marked by dishonesty, a loss of trust, and a feeling of betrayal.

Heartbreak is a really intense experience. It’s especially painful when it comes from someone you love deeply, because they have the power to cause you so much hurt.

She explained that someone needs to genuinely want to improve, and he clearly did. She believes couples can work through difficulties, but if your partner isn’t willing to change for the sake of the relationship, it’s not worth pursuing.

You don’t need to worry about this – it’s someone else’s responsibility to handle the work and fix the situation. It’s not your fault.

He started going to therapy, and I think that, combined with him playing overseas, gave him the space to reflect on things. He realized he hadn’t been prioritizing what it takes to make a relationship work – he’d been acting selfishly.

In a 2024 TikTok video, the singer shared that Andre had hurt her feelings early in their relationship.

Leigh-Anne revealed that despite experiencing heartbreak, she’s still in a relationship with the person who caused her pain.

I realized how important forgiveness is. Despite the pain he caused, I’m still with the person who hurt me, and he’s made a real effort to become a better partner.

If you can overcome a challenge and reach the finish line, it makes everything worth the effort.

People sometimes ask me why I stay with someone or keep giving them opportunities. I understand that might seem like a flaw – like I’m not prioritizing my own needs. But ultimately, I believe only I can truly know what’s best for me.

Leigh-Anne explained that she and her partner overcame some difficult times and are now in a very happy and positive place in their relationship.

She explained that if someone genuinely demonstrates a willingness to change, it speaks volumes. While you can’t make someone change, their effort to improve themselves is a clear indicator of their character.

I needed to experience those challenges in our relationship to reach where we are today, and it’s a wonderful place to be.

‘It is OK to give somebody another chance but it isn’t OK to let somebody take the piss out of you.

‘Make sure you have those barriers up to protect yourself and to know when enough is enough.

I’ve learned the hard way that getting hurt is what makes you stronger. It builds a kind of protection, a determination not to repeat past mistakes. And honestly, I used to think forgiving someone was a sign of weakness, but I’ve completely changed my mind. It’s actually incredibly powerful, and it’s been so healing for me personally.
