Former Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards has bravely revealed her experience of suffering a miscarriage before the birth of her son, Axel, whom she describes as her "rainbow baby". The 30-year-old star shared her emotional journey in a heartfelt interview, detailing the pain of losing a pregnancy and the subsequent joy of welcoming her first child with fiancé Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
A Heartbreaking Loss
Edwards confessed that she had kept her miscarriage private until now, explaining how difficult it was to process the loss. "It was the hardest thing I've ever gone through," she said. "You feel so alone, even though so many women experience it." The singer emphasised the importance of talking about pregnancy loss to break the stigma surrounding it.
The Joy of Axel
The pop star's face lit up as she spoke about her one-year-old son Axel, calling him her "rainbow after the storm". She described how becoming a mother has changed her perspective on life and brought immense happiness after her previous heartbreak. "He's my everything," Edwards gushed. "Watching him grow is the most amazing thing."
Support System
Edwards credited her footballer fiancé Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain for being her rock during both the difficult times and the joyous ones. "We've been through so much together," she shared. "Having his support made all the difference." The couple welcomed Axel in August 2021 and have been sharing adorable glimpses of their family life on social media.
Breaking the Silence
By speaking out about her experience, Edwards hopes to help other women who have suffered similar losses. "If my story can help even one person feel less alone, then it's worth sharing," she said. The singer joins a growing number of celebrities who are opening up about miscarriage to raise awareness and support for those affected.
