Leigh-Anne Pinnock has stripped off for a raunchy magazine shoot after revealing her footballer husband once sought therapy to win back her ‘trust and loyalty’ following a perceived betrayal.
Wearing little more than a pair of knee-high boots and leather gloves, the former Little Mix star takes centre stage in a no-holds-barred cover shot for the latest edition of Defined.
With one gloved hand protecting her modesty, Pinnock, 34, shows off her physique while offering the camera a suggestive glance in the first of several new shots.
In a second, the singer – currently preparing for the release of her long-awaited debut solo album – models a white bikini top and matching dress from David Koma.
The extensive collection of shots, taken by photographer Rachell Smith, also find Pinnock striking a pose in an embellished pink bodysuit, designed by Julie Lamarche.
Elsewhere, the singer looks stunning in a semi-sheer dress from ASAR London as she reclines for a tasteful black-and-white image.

Pinnock will release solo album My Ego Told Me To independently on February 20, after parting ways with label Warner Records in January, claiming it lacked the budget to support her new music.
And she admits raising two children with footballer husband Andre Gray, 34 – who currently plays for Turkish club Fatih Karagümrük S.K – while establishing a career away from Little Mix has not been without its challenges.
She told the publication: ‘The process of going solo, then going independent, then doing all of that whilst being a mum – it’s kind of wild.
‘But I feel like I’ve learned a lot. I’ve built up my resilience. And getting to this point now where I can release my album and it’s exactly how I want it to be, it feels amazing.’
Pinnock exchanged vows with former Watford centre-forward Gray in June 2023, two years after the couple welcomed twins.
But the former Little Mix star recently confirmed their marriage was tested after her husband ‘lost her trust’ following his initial move overseas to Saudi Arabian side Al Riyadh.
Speaking to Paloma Faith on her Mad Sad Bad podcast, she said: ‘I went through a bit of a weird time with my husband actually and I think that sort of not being totally honest and losing trust and that kind of betrayal.
‘I think like heartbreak is wild, like it’s awful and especially someone that you’re so madly in love with and that they can hurt you.’

She continued: ‘Well, I think that person has to want to change and he did. And I think you can go through things in relationship, but if they aren’t willing to change for you, forget it.
‘They have to do the work and they have to turn it around because again it’s not you, it’s not on you.
‘He went to therapy and I think for us what really helped for us, he started playing abroad and he had more time to himself to kind of look and realise that everything that he was doing was not how you make a relationship work, it’s not. It’s selfish.’
The singer first revealed how Andre had ‘broken her heart’ in the early days of their relationship in a TikTok video, shared in 2024.
When asked what she learnt about her last heartbreak, Pinnock admitted she is still with the person who broke her heart.
