Leigh-Anne Pinnock got the perfect surprise on her fourth anniversary with Andre Gray - seeing her boyfriend get down on one knee.

The 28-year-old Little Mix star had previously told fans that she would be waiting patiently for the moment that Andre would put a ring on her finger.

Now her dreams have come true and it will go down as one of the most romantic nights of her life as the happy couple beamed into the camera while the singer flashed her sparkling rock.

It has been a special day for Leigh-Anne and this is how it all went down from her gushing morning tribute to Andre getting on bended knee.

Anniversary celebrations

Leigh-Anne wasted no time in wishing her soon-to-be fiancé a happy anniversary as they celebrated four years together.

She posted a pic of the pair kissing on a deserted beach as the sun goes down.

The singer captioned the post: "Happy Anniversary baby... how has 4 years gone so fast!️ all I know is I'm another year more crazy about you. I couldn't love you harder if I tried"

Andre replied: "Time flies when you havin fun," followed by three heart emojis.

Little Mix bandmate Jesy Nelson joined in by commenting: "Cuties"

Dressed up with nowhere to go

Leigh-Anne showed off on her Instagram story that she had made an effort for the anniversary, even if the coronavirus lockdown meant they would be staying at home.

She twirled in a red crop top and skirt but joked that despite all the effort, there was one thing she still hadn't bothered to do.

Leigh-Anne wrote: "Most effort I made in over 2 months... n I still couldn't be a**ed to iron the back of my skirt."

The proposal

While Leigh-Anne was resplendent in her off-the-shoulder red number, footballer Andre kept it more simple with a white sweatshirt and green shorts.

It didn't stop the proposal being any less romantic.

With the Little Mix star relaxing on loungers in the garden, with fairylights twinkling around her, Andre used the setting sun as a backdrop to his big moment.

Put a ring on it

What a ring it is too as Leigh-Anne beamed into the camera and showed off the diamond that is sparkling on her finger.

A ruby seems to be encased by a clustered ring of diamonds and the pair couldn't look happier at the outcome of their special day together.

Andre announced the news on his Instagram page, captioning the pic: "Let the caption speak for itself this time. Hasta la muerte."
