They jetted to Santorini for a sun-soaked break, two months after their engagement.
And Leigh-Anne Pinnock and her fiancé Andre Gray looked loved-up as they posed for a romantic sunset snap before heading out to dinner on Wednesday.
The Little Mix singer, 28, who featured on a Channel 4 documentary on Tuesday night detailing her experiences of racism, looked gorgeous in an orange satin maxi dress while Andre, 29, was dressed head-to-toe in Dior.

She used some lyrics of Little Mix’s latest single to caption her snap: ‘No one else in the world could ever come close to you baby’.
It’s been an exciting time for the pair as they got engaged back in May on their fourth anniversary.
Her bandmates recently revealed they think she will be tying the knot ‘soon’ because she ‘has no patience’.

Jesy Nelson, 28, and Jade Thirlwall, 27, joked the brunette has been ‘waiting years’ for Andre to pop the question as they praised the sportsman for his ‘beautiful proposal’ during an interview on Heart Breakfast recently.
Leigh-Anne’s sweet post comes after she spoke about the first time she experienced racism – at just nine-years-old.
Appearing on Channel 4’s The Talk, on which black celebrities recounted their experiences with racist abuse, Leigh-Anne sat between her parents and told her story.
‘In primary school, a boy wrote on a bit of paper, “Name: Leigh-Anne. Age: Nine. Nationality: Jungle”,’ she recalled.

‘I saw it, and my heart just dropped. I knew it was racism. I was nine years old, I knew it was racism. I was just distraught by it!’
She added: ‘I just wish that I knew more back then, I just wish that I was more educated on this and I knew that, yeah, your race will hold you back a little bit. I just wish I knew that so I could prepare myself.’
Her fans praised her for her honesty on social media.
Back in June, the songstress took to Instagram to share her experiences as the only black member of girl band Little Mix.

Leigh-Anne tearfully admitted that she feels ‘invisible’ at times in the group.
The star also shared that she always feels like the ‘least favoured’ and has to work ‘ten times harder’ in Little Mix.
Leigh-Anne said during the five minute video: ‘My reality is feeling anxious before fan events and signings because I always feel like I’m the least favoured.
‘My reality is constantly feeling like I have to work ten times harder and longer to make my case in the group, because my talent alone isn’t enough. My reality is all the times I felt invisible within my group.
‘Part of me is fully aware that my experience would have been ever harder to deal with had I been dark-skinned. Our reality is no matter how far you think you’ve come, racism exists.
‘So let’s all continue to speak up on racism and keep this movement going. Thank you.’
