Little Mix's Leigh-Anne Pinnock 'heartbroken' as she splits from boyfriend of two years Jordan Kiffin
Little Mix's Leigh-Anne Pinnock is said to have split from her long-term boyfriend.
The 23-year-old pop princess is reportedly 'heartbroken' after her two-year relationship with Jordan Kiffin recently came to an end.
According to The Sun, the singer and her footballer beau - who plays for Ashford Town FC - have ended things as of last month, and that she is especially upset about the split.

Is it over? Leigh-Anne Pinnock and her long-term boyfriend Jordan Kiffin are reported to have ended their relationship, after over two years together
A friend of the star told the newspaper: 'Leigh-Anne is really sad and has had all her girlfriends around her in recent days to keep her spirits up.
'She's been out at clubs to stay busy but inside she's been heartbroken as she really loved Jordan.'

They added: 'The silver lining is that as Little Mix are gearing up to release their new track she'll be so busy she'll be distracted from her heartache.'
The previously loved-up duo were seen enjoying an idyllic getaway in Barbados together in December, looking more smitten than ever as they strolled along the beach, followed by a romantic trip to Venice for Valentine's Day.

But the young star - who rose to fame on The X Factor in 2011 - has been seen out and about at various parties and nightclub events more frequently of late, without Jordan by her side.
She hit the town with her Mix bandmate Jade Thirlwall in London on Tuesday night, at celebrity nightspot Mahiki.
And at the weekend, the two girls joined a bunch of pals at the Konnect nightclub, where they enjoyed themselves in a VIP area.
A couple of days before that, Leigh-Anne had dazzled in a floor-length black gown at the Downton Abbey Ball, so she has certainly been keeping her social diary well and truly filled.

She may have hinted on her social media pages that things were awry, too.
At the end of April, when she is purported to have split from Jordan, she shared a rather sombre selfie.
And a few days later, she shared a snap of herself with a pal along with the cryptic caption: 'My girls are all I need in this life.. @hannahlisab @rosiegardner91 @gabriellenikita @samking2503 thank you for everything recently..'
The couple got together in early 2013, and at the time Leigh-Anne was said to be 'head over heels' with the football player.

Over the years, she has spoken out about her feelings for her man and, while having a more low-key romance than that of her bandmate Perrie Edwards (who is engaged to ex-One Direction star Zayn Malik), they have always seemed a strong unit.
As recently as Valentine's Day, the pair had put on a very sweet display as they headed to Venice in Italy to celebrate their love.
They spent their time at an elegant masked ball after taking a gondola ride together.
Leigh-Anne gushed in a series of emotional tweets at the time: 'Happy Valentine's Day to the love of my life.. You mean everything to me @kiff_jordan'.
'Incredible evening with my Prince.. @kiff_jordan thank you baby', she added.
Meanwhile, the newly-single beauty will no doubt be able to keep herself busy with her work commitments: DNA hitmakers Little Mix have a new album coming up for release this year, and she has been working hard on producing their new tracks with the other girls, Perrie, Jade and Jesy.
A representative for Leigh-Anne declined to comment.
With the girls: Leigh-Anne will be kept busy with her work commitments - Little Mix have a new album coming out this year, and will also headline the Capital Summertime Ball
