Perrie Edwards and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain look radiant in a new photo taken moments after their wedding ceremony in the Algarve over the weekend.
Wedding Details
The couple exchanged vows at a small Catholic church in Quinta do Lago, a scenic area in the Algarve, Portugal, four years after their engagement. Both aged 32, they emerged hand-in-hand, beaming for photos outside the stunning building. The bride carried a bouquet of white calla lilies, which she waved as guests cheered.
The groom wore a black tuxedo on the warm day, and they posed in front of a vintage white Mercedes convertible, their wedding car.
Family and Guests
The ceremony was low-key, with only 70 attendees. Afterward, they hosted close friends and family at the nearby Parrilla Natural restaurant, one of the Algarve's most scenic spots. Their son, Axel, played a special role during the service, adding to the occasion's meaning.
The wedding comes five months after the birth of their second child, daughter Alanis Valentine. Perrie's Little Mix bandmate, Jade Thirlwall, missed the event due to her appearance at Primavera festival. It is unclear if Leigh-Anne Pinnock attended. Among the guests were Alex's former teammates, including ex-Arsenal footballer Carl Jenkinson and Fulham's Harrison Reed.
Relationship Journey
Perrie and Alex have been together since 2017 and got engaged in 2022. In a candid interview, Perrie revealed she experienced two miscarriages, one before her son and another after his birth. She described Alex as calm, understanding, caring, and thoughtful, saying she feels safe and content with him.
The engagement was announced in June 2022, with Perrie showing off her ring on social media. The couple regularly shares updates on Instagram but has not yet publicly announced their marriage there.
Perrie's Career
Perrie rose to fame after winning The X Factor in 2011 with Little Mix. The group achieved five UK number one singles and a UK number one album. Jesy Nelson left the band in December 2020, and they continued as a trio until going on hiatus in 2022.
