Leigh-Anne Pinnock is one-quarter of one of the biggest girl bands in the world, so it's no surprise the Little Mix singer is enjoying her life at the moment! As the band prepare to go on tour in 2019, Leigh-Anne's relationship with footballer Andre Gray is going very well, with fans thinking an engagement could be on the cards!

Here's seven reasons we'd love to be Leigh-Anne's best friend.

1. She's dating footballer Andre Gray

Leigh-Anne has been dating Watford footballer Andre since 2016, with the pair recently moving in together. With fans thinking an engagement could be on the cards in the coming months, Leigh-Anne shared a super cute message about her boyfriend after Christmas.

Sharing a snap of the pair, Leigh-Anne wrote, 'Sometimes I wish I could put it into words.. but I just can’t.. 🤷🏽‍♀️ I couldn’t love you anymore if I tried. First Christmas in our new home together.. Merry Christmas everyone from our family to yours 😍❤️'. [sic]

2. She attends lots of super glamorous events

She's part of one of the biggest pop bands in the world, so it's no surprise that Leigh-Anne gets invited to some very glamorous and prestigious events such as The BRIT Awards, The GRAMMY Awards and various MTV music awards.

3. Her dogs are the CUTEST

Just like her Little Mix band mates, Leigh-Anne is obsessed with dogs and shares a number of pooches with her boyfriend Andre. After coming home from a trip to Japan in March 2018, Leigh-Anne was welcomed by a puppy called Kyro.

Taking to Instagram, Leigh-Anne wrote, 'Completely and utterly obsessed.. came home from Japan to find this baba waiting for me 😍❤️ meet Kyro 😍❤️'. [sic]

As well as Kyro, Leigh-Anne also has a super cute dog called Harvey, buying the pup to celebrate Little Mix's first ever Number 1 single.

4. She's best friends with Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall and Jesy Nelson

The Little Mix bond is certainly a unbreakable one! Since being put together by Simon Cowell on The X Factor, Leigh-Anne, Jade Thirlwall, Perrie Edwards and Jesy Nelson have been the best of friends ever since!
