Little Mix Star Leigh-Anne Pinnock is reportedly “furious” following the alleged theft of her engagement ring worth £40,000.

The ring in question is an emerald and diamond encrusted gold band and a gift from her partner, footballer Andre Gray.

A source told The Sun that the piece of jewelry went missing as the singer was moving house.

They said: “Leigh-Anne is distraught. It was her engagement ring that was stolen which, obviously, had huge sentimental value.

“She accidentally left it out and when she came back, it was gone. It’s hugely upsetting anyone can behave in this manner.

“Leigh-Anne and Andre are doing all they can to get to the bottom of it, and get their ring back. It’s not about the money, it’s about the principle.”

Leigh-Anne and Andre, who plays for Watford F.C., announced that they were dating in 2016 and the couple became engaged last summer.

Earlier this month, the Little Mix star announced that she was pregnant with her first child.

Taking to Instagram to tell the world her happy news, she said: “We’ve dreamed about this moment for so long and we can’t believe the dream is finally coming true… we can’t wait to meet you.”

Leigh-Anne isn’t the only Little Mix member who is expecting. Her band-mate Perrie Edwards is also pregnant.

Last week, Perrie and Leigh-Anne spoke about the moment they found out they were both pregnant during a work Zoom call.

During a TikTok Live interview, Perrie said that she had told their manager that she was expecting, but was nervous to tell anyone else.

Her manager, who is also pregnant, asked the singer to allow one other person to join the call.

The singer then heard the her band-mate’s voice shakily ask, “Perrie? You too?!”
