Leigh-Anne Pinnock has blamed the soccer World Cup for delaying her wedding plans.
Andre Grey and Leigh-Anne Pinnock
The Little Mix singer got engaged to Watford FC player Andre Gray on their four-year anniversary in May but she admitted they can't tie the knot as soon as she'd like to because of the global tournament, which will take place in 2022.
She told The Sun newspaper: "It’s not Covid getting in the way — it’s the World Cup.
"I don’t know when that’s all kicking off, and I don’t know when Andre’s time off is going to be. I want it in 2022, so we’ll see.
“I don’t blooming know, honestly. I hate football sometimes. Nuisance.”
Andre got down on one knee after creating a romantic display in their garden, whilst the couple were celebrating their four-year anniversary amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Leigh-Anne thought the setting was too much to celebrate their anniversary, but still didn't think a proposal was "going to happen".
She previously said: "It was weird because the whole day I was thinking 'this is just too much for an anniversary'. Because I was watching them build it and I was like, 'What is going on?' And I was messaging the girls like, 'Guys, now they're putting out candles, now there's fairy lights, what's going on!?'
"I really thought - it was just weird, I didn't know - because I didn't ever think it was going to happen but at the same time it was a lot for an anniversary, so..."
And although bandmate Perrie Edwards - who has been dating Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain for three years - is happy for Leigh-Anne, she isn't ready to make that kind of commitment.
The 'Woman Like Me' singer said: "Everyone keeps saying 'the pressure's on!' and I think that because Andre did such an amazing job.
"So all the boys are having Alex's life now, like 'Oohhh!' But we're not ready for that year, we're not ready for that yet, we're letting them two enjoy it. Oh, love is wonderful isn't it guys?"
