The news comes a day after member Leigh-Anne hinted at solo ventures in an EXCLUSIVE interview with That Grape Juice.
Currently in the thick of promotion for their greatest hits compilation ‘Between Us,’ the ladies have also been busy mapping out their next individual chapters.
Leigh-Anne stars in Warner Bros‘ rom-com ‘Boxing Day’ (due December 3) and will be hosting the MOBO Awards 2022 on December 5.
Jade has signed with major management entity Full Stop and is reportedly on the cusp of inking a solo deal with Atlantic Records. While Perrie has launched a clothing brand Disora.
The hiatus news comes during an action-packed year for the group. After original member Jesy Nelson departed in December 2020, the remaining trio opened 2021 atop of the charts with ‘Sweet Melody’ and went on to enjoy a string of hits such as ‘Confetti (ft. Saweetie),’ ‘Heartbreak Anthem’ with David Guetta and Galantis, and Anne-Marie collaboration ‘Kiss My (Uh Oh).’
