Perrie Edwards is settling into life as a married woman after tying the knot with her beloved partner Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. The couple wed in a lavish ceremony in Portugal on Saturday, not far from the villa she owns. The intimate event took place in the village of Estoi, with only close friends and family present to celebrate the happy couple.
This milestone is the latest in a relationship that began in 2016. Since then, the couple have welcomed two children, made numerous public appearances, and navigated intense drama from both sides. Perrie experienced the breakup of Little Mix, while Alex supported her throughout; she was also there for him during his rise to football fame. As they adjust to married life, Daily Star looks at their timeline from first meeting to wedding.
Love Blossoms
Perrie and Alex were first linked in 2016 when the singer was seen watching him play for Arsenal from his private box. They kept quiet initially but went public in 2017 when Perrie shared photos of her beau.
Strength to Strength
Over the next two years, both rose in their careers—Little Mix conquered the charts, and Alex continued his football journey. Perrie supported him when he played for Liverpool in their winning Champions League match against Tottenham Hotspur in 2019.
Power Couple
2019 was a big year as they made more public appearances together, strengthening their relationship.
Stressful Times
In 2020, they faced challenges from Jesy Nelson's departure from Little Mix, which caused scandals. Perrie, Jade, and Leigh-Anne continued as a trio until 2022.
Growing a Family
In May 2021, Perrie announced they were expecting their first child. They welcomed son Axel later that year.
Pregnancy and Miscarriage
In 2022, Perrie became pregnant again but miscarried at five months, describing it as the worst day of her life. Alex supported her through the grief.
A Growing Unit
Things improved when they announced another pregnancy. Their daughter, Alanis Valentine, was born safely in January 2026.
Married Life
Perrie and Alex married on Saturday, June 13, 2026, after four years of engagement. The ceremony was held in a small Portuguese church with 70 guests. Their relationship is stronger than ever as they plan their future as a family.
