Leigh-Anne Pinnock opened up about missing her family as she embarks on her solo career in an emotional post on Thursday.
Taking to Instagram, the Little Mix singer, 31, who shares twins with fiancé Andre Gray and keeps their names and faces off social media, said she was a “family-oriented” person and had been overwhelmed lately.
The star, who is recording new music in LA with Warner Records after Little Mix announced their hiatus in 2021, revealed she’d forgotten the difficulties of being away from home and how lonely it can be on the road.
But she said despite her recent struggles, she used gratitude to calm herself.
In the post, Leigh-Anne shared a series of photos and video of her recent life, including her in comfortable clothes in the recording studio, getting ready for the party in a black lacy bralette and posing in a ribbed cropped sweater.

“I’m still figuring out why I’m doing this. I’m also super family oriented and forgot how lonely it can be being on the road.

Leigh-Anne previously admitted she was emotional as she headed into the recording studio last month to begin her solo career.
The singer has signed a deal with Warner Records and has begun work on her new music after Little Mix parted ways.
Taking to Instagram to share snaps of her time in the studio, she shared a cryptic caption that hinted at an “odd couple of weeks.”
Dressed casually for the session in a gray tracksuit and flared jeans, the Wings singer showed off her natural beauty by going makeup-free.
Leigh-Anne wrote: “It’s been a strange few weeks adjusting to certain life changes. Emotions are flying…but looking forward to next year…we’ve cooked up a storm.’

It was announced in February last year that Leigh-Anne had signed a solo deal with Warner Records after her band Little Mix announced their hiatus.
The singer joined the record label, which is also home to artists like Dua Lipa, Saweetie and Ed Sheeran.
An announcement on Warner Records UK’s official Twitter account said: “We are delighted to welcome Leigh-Anne Pinnock to the Warner Records family! Join their mailing list to be the first to hear about exciting news!’
The pop star will be working with MNEK on her new album after teaming up with the musician at Little Mix.

News of Leigh-Anne’s deal came just days after former bandmate Jesy Nelson – who left the group in December 2020 – also teased fans that new music was on the way as she set up her own recording studio in her luxurious home .
Jesy is said to be in advanced talks with Warner after splitting from Polydor in July last year over “creative differences”.
The band broke up after their last tour. A statement at the time said: “We wanted to let you all know that we will be taking a break from Little Mix after the Confetti tour in April/May next year. We’re not breaking up – Little Mix is here to stay.
“We have plans for more music, touring and performing in the future. We’ve made so many incredible memories with you all and we can’t wait to make so many more.
“We are sisters and we will always have each other and you the fans in our lives. Little Mix is forever. See you on tour! Jade, Leigh-Anne and Perrie x.’
