Little Mix fans ‘fear former bandmates are drifting apart’ after Perrie misses Leigh-Anne’s wedding

Little Mix announced that they would be taking an indefinite hiatus from touring together in 2021, as the trio decided to pursue their own solo careers.

The group – made up of Leigh-Anne Pinnock, 31, Perrie Edwards, 29, and Jade Thirlwall, 31, – continued as a trio after Jesy Nelson’s departure three years ago and appeared to be best friends.

But fans now fear the ladies are starting to drift apart after Perrie missed some of Leigh-Anne’s recent milestones.

She was noticeably absent from the star’s wedding to footballer Andre Gray in Jamaica, as well as the launch party for new single Don’t Say Love – both of which were attended by former bandmate Jade.

During an appearance on Capital FM on Friday, Leigh-Anne gushed, ‘Jade heard Don’t Say Love on the stag night, and so did my second single.

‘It was by the pool. Let me tell you, I was so afraid to play it to her. It was weird, but she loved it, so I buzzed.”

And in a video from Thursday’s London party to celebrate the release, Leigh-Anne told the audience, “Jade, this girl shows up for me every time.”

However, Perrie did take to her Instagram Stories after writing the song’s debut, “Most EPIC video ever, so proud of my @LeighannePinnock.”

On Twitter, a fan asked, “I see Jade at the wedding, wonder where Perrie is?”.

With another inscription: ‘Perrie where are you?’.

A third commented, ‘Am I the only one who thinks Perrie and Leigh-Anne aren’t as close anymore. Like yes, they comment on each other’s posts, but I haven’t seen them with each other in so long. It’s kinda sad.”

Others rushed to their defense, saying ‘People don’t understand that Perrie has a child to look after and Jade doesn’t, if Perrie can’t come it doesn’t mean she doesn’t support Leigh-Anne’.

And another commented, “Perrie lives a long way from both Jade and Leigh-Anne, give the girl the fucking benefit of the doubt.” We don’t know anything about what goes on behind closed doors.”

MailOnline has reached out to representatives for Perrie and Leigh-Anne for comment.

In February, Perrie reunited with Jade when the pair went out to dinner during a trip to Los Angeles.

The singer rocked her son Axel, 18 months, as she and Jade went for a walk in Santa Monica.

The band members had dinner at a local restaurant on Sunday before seeing the sights around the Santa Monica Pier.

It comes after Leigh-Anne’s catchy tune raced to the top of the iTunes charts after debuting alongside a very sexy music video on Friday.

The singer hissed as she donned a white latex dress before donning skimpy ensembles for a series of dance routines.

The impressive video also saw the stunner sporting numerous hairstyles, including her raven black braids styled high on her head.

Later, Leigh-Anne modeled a plunging dress with black feathers and a nude illusion look as she strutted her stuff with dancers.

The video ended with Leigh-Anne jumping into the ocean when text appeared on the screen saying ‘To be continued’.

One fan raced to Twitter and dubbed the song, “The best solo debut by a girl group since Beyoncé…Leigh is coming to beat.

Beyoncé Knowles, 41, released her first solo song Crazy In Love in 2003 to critical acclaim.

Another fan commented, “Leigh Anne’s music video is a life-changing experience.”

A third commented, “Don’t Say Love is definitely a hit,” and a fourth suggested that Leigh-Anne was now entering her “epic era.”

Someone else posted, “Visuals come through my girl. What an introduction to who Leigh-Anne is. The video is so beautifully done and every look is a service, you absolutely nailed this my girl. My heart feels so full and proud of you right now. Grab them’.

And: The looks, the sets, the music, the vocals. LEIGH-ANNE DON’T BUY’.

With another excited fan saying, “GUYS!!! Don’t Say Lobe officially reached number 1 on UK iTunes in less than an hour.
