Fans can pay £5 per month to access exclusive content, including pregnancy updates, family life and behind-the-scenes moments.

In her Patreon introduction, Pinnock wrote, “Hey It’s Leigh-Anne here!

“As some of you may know by now I’m pregnant with my third child and wanted to create a space for you all to get a deeper insight into my world, my pregnancy journey and general life as a mother, singer, wife and woman who’s trying her best.

“Excited to see where this journey takes us and can’t wait to show you all the things I get up to along the way.”

The platform also offers a free membership tier with limited content, while premium posts are available only to paying subscribers. Pinnock has also asked members not to share exclusive content outside the platform.

The launch prompted divided opinions on social media. Some users questioned why the singer, who has an estimated net worth of around £5.9 million, had chosen to charge for access to pregnancy-related content.

One critic wrote, “Genuinely this is extremly weird for someone as big of a name to start a patreon to… show a pregnancy? Tbh it feels a bit out of touch for my taste.”

Another asked, “Are you broke?”

A third commented, “Wow.. she really needs that money eh?”

However, others defended the move, arguing that Patreon provides fans with optional access to exclusive content while allowing creators greater control over what they share.

One supporter wrote, “Just signed up to follow your journey, can’t wait to see what it all brings!”

Another added, “The Patreon is strictly for the fans that want to follow her pregnancy journey a little more closer. She doesn’t have to show anything at all but she’s choosing to on her terms. That’s the difference from posting publicly.”

Pinnock has continued to build a successful solo music career since Little Mix went on hiatus, while Andre Gray has played for clubs including Brentford, Burnley, Watford and Port Vale.
