Focusing on solo projects is among the reasons for hitting the pause button on the band, they said.
"It's been 10 amazing years, a wonderful non-stop adventure, and we feel the time is right to take a break so we can recharge and work on some other projects.
"We can't thank you enough for your love and never-ending support since the beginning. We love you all SO much."
Recently, Leigh-Anne has made her acting debut in holiday romcom Boxing Day, alongside How To Get Away With Murder star Aja Naomi King and Aml Ameen.
