Founder member Mutya Buena has left pop trio Sugababes, saying she felt unable to commit to the act for another year.
The 20-year-old was in Sugababes for seven years, as they scored four number one hit singles in the UK.
Buena, who gave birth to first child Tahila in March, will be replaced by a new member to be revealed in 24 hours.
"I felt that the commitment I would need to make to Sugababes over the next 12 months was something that would become compromised by me," she said.
Donaghy left the group one year later during a Japanese tour, to be replaced by current member Heidi Range, 22.
In a statement released on the act's website, Buena said on Wednesday that her decision to quit was "based purely on my personal reasons".
"It was very difficult but definitely not a snap decision," she added.
"There comes a time when everyone wants to re-evaluate their life and what they want out of it."
