Leigh-Anne Pinnock has admitted it's "been hell" having a long-distance relationship with husband Andre Gray.
The former Little Mix star revealed on Wednesday's Table Manners podcast that she and Andre have only seen each other for two days each month since he started playing football away from home two years ago.
"We have a long-distance relationship. He lives in Saudi, he plays football there. So for the last two years, we've been apart basically, seeing each other for like maybe two days a month. It's been hell to be honest," she admitted.
Leigh-Anne began dating the footballer in 2016 after meeting at a nightclub in Marbella, Spain, and they welcomed twins in August 2021. A year later, he moved abroad for the first time in his sports career, signing with the Greek team Aris.
In September 2023, a few months after they tied the knot in Jamaica, Andre joined the Saudi Arabian team Al-Riyadh.
When co-host Lennie Ware asked if she holds resentment about the distance, Leigh-Anne replied, "I try not to, I really try not to. We know what he's doing it for, do you know what I mean, he's doing it for us."
The Don't Say Love singer revealed that Andre's contract ends this summer and she doesn't know what's next for his career.
"We don't know," she explained. "That's the thing about being with a footballer, you just don't know where you're gonna be and I can't move with him anywhere because obviously, I can't have a career wherever he's gonna go, I have to obviously be local to home.
"I had it good (at the start) because he played for QPR, he did Watford, and that was local so I had a couple of years of us living together. We had the babies and then he had to go (adopts sad voice)."
Addressing the long distance again, she added, "I can't do it anymore, I can't do it."
