Little Mix’s Leigh-Anne Pinnock secretly gave birth to TWINS a week ago – five days BEFORE Perrie Edwards
LITTLE Mix's Leigh-Anne Pinnock has become a mum for the first time - after secretly giving birth to TWINS a week ago.
Announcing her happy news with fiance Andre Gray, the 29-year-old told fans: "We asked for a miracle, we were given two... 🥺🖤 Our Cubbies are here 😍🖤16/08/21."
Her bandmate Perrie Edwards announced she had given birth to her first child with her footballer boyfriend Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain on Saturday.
The 28-year-old shared the happy news alongside a series of adorable black and white snaps, showing their child's tiny feet and hands.
Leigh-Anne commented on Perrie's post: “I am so proud of you and I love you so much 🥺 what an angel ❤️❤️😍😍.”
But it turned out Leigh-Anne had already had her twin babies - but chosen to keep it private.
Perrie wrote: "Welcome to the world baby 21/08/21 ♥️"
Meanwhile her footballer boyfriend added his own pictures and shared: "Welcome to the world little one 😍❤️ 21/08/21."
We revealed earlier today how Little Mix fans believe Perrie and Leigh-Anne made a "secret pact" over their pregnancies.
The bandmates found out they were both expecting their first child at a similar time, with Leigh-Anne being the first to announce it to fans.
A week later, Perrie revealed she was also pregnant, saying she was "so happy to be on this wild journey with my soulmate", Alex.
She gave birth on August 21 - but is yet to update fans on the gender or name of her child.
Meanwhile Leigh-Anne had her baby five days before on August 16 - but kept it quiet until now.
Fans believed it's because the pair made a pact to have one announce the pregnancy and the other the birth, to allow them both equal attention.
One said: "Leigh-Anne: 'I’ll announce my pregnancy first.
"Perrie 'I’ll give birth first'."
Just like Perrie, Leigh-Anne has been bombarded with congratulatory messages from fans and celebrity pals.
Perrie wrote under her Instagram post: "Two bundles of absolute joy! I love. youmy Lee Lee!"
Their former bandmate Jesy Nelson has so far failed to acknowledge Leigh-Anne's announcement, after she previously ignored Perrie's birth.
