Little Mix star Perrie Edwards has married professional footballer Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in a ceremony in Portugal. The couple have been together since 2017 and engaged since June 2022, exchanging vows on Saturday afternoon at a wedding in Faro.
The wedding comes months after the newlyweds welcomed their daughter, Alanis Valentine, born in January. They also have a son, Axel, born in August 2021.
According to the Mail, Perrie wore a fitted long-sleeved white gown decorated with floral lace while holding a bouquet of white calla lilies. The singer was photographed leaving the small church holding hands with the Celtic FC midfielder, who wore a black tuxedo with a matching lily boutonniere.
Photographs also appear to show bridesmaids wearing baby blue gowns and holding parasols as they cheered the newlyweds down the church steps.
The South Shields singer has been with the former Liverpool and Arsenal footballer since 2017 and recently told Jamie Laing on his Great Company podcast that she thinks their relationship is an example of “healthy love.” She said: “I just love how calm he is and how understanding he is and how caring he is and thoughtful he is. I just feel safe with Alex. I feel just content and happy and it’s not effort.”
Edwards rose to fame after winning The X Factor in 2011 with the pop group Little Mix, which included Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jade Thirlwall, and Jesy Nelson. The group had five UK number one singles including Wings, Black Magic, and Shout Out To My Ex and one UK number one album, 2016’s Glory Days. After Nelson left the band in December 2020, the group continued as a trio until they went on a hiatus in 2022.
She has since launched a solo career under the stage name Perrie, releasing new music including Forget About Us, Tears, and You Go Your Way. Edwards released her debut solo album last year.
