“We've dreamed about this moment for so long and we can't believe the dream is actually coming true...,” Anne wrote alongside the images. On Instagram, they said, "We can't wait to meet you." Congratulations to Leigh-Anne and Andre on the announcement of their first child together!
‘Who is most likely to have a baby first?' Jade asked her bandmates in a 2019 interview. ‘I just want a family!' exclaimed Leigh-Anne. 'You want it all,' Jesy Nelson responded.
Leigh-Anne would have been pregnant at the time of the interview, and her bandmates would have known, as Perrie Edwards teased: 'Do you know that is so real, and it's going to be iconic...' We're going to be the coolest aunties, mums, and whatever else we can think of.' 'That's very sweet,' Leigh-Anne said of the post. ‘Me as an auntie?' Jade Thirlwall retorted. Are you insane...? I'm a great-auntie! In reference to Amy Poehler's character Mrs George in the 2004 film Mean Girls, she said, "We're going to be like a "cool mum."
Andre and Leigh-Anne, both 29, began dating in 2016 and she told fans that she was still waiting for him to propose to her not long before the footballer proposed in May 2020.
