Perrie Edwards Set for Glasgow Move as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain Signs with Celtic
In a significant family development, Little Mix icon Perrie Edwards is preparing to move to Glasgow to live with her fiancé, footballer Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. This decision comes shortly after the couple welcomed their second child last month and follows Alex's recent signing with Celtic Football Club.
Family Expansion and Relocation Plans
Perrie Edwards and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who have been engaged since 2022, are parents to a son named Axel, born in August 2021, and a newborn daughter named Alanis, who arrived just four weeks ago. The family's move to Glasgow marks a new chapter, driven by Alex's professional commitments in Scotland.
In his first interview since joining Celtic, Alex confirmed the relocation plans, stating, "Yeah [Perrie] will be up here for sure. We've just had a second baby so, she's only four weeks old, so I think a few more weeks and they will probably head up here for sure." He added that their son is excited about the move, noting, "My son will definitely want to come up and he loves football now so it's good for him to come up."
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's Career Move to Celtic
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, 32, signed a contract with Celtic this month, committing to play for the team in their iconic green and white striped kit for the next six months. This move follows his previous stints at Southampton, Arsenal, and Liverpool. Reflecting on his career evolution, he said, "It’s exactly what I need. I need another challenge and lucky enough at a massive club like this. And they can help me get back to where I need to get to."
Perrie has shown her support for Alex's new role by sharing a post from Celtic's official Instagram account on her Stories, adding a flame emoji to highlight his signing. This gesture underscores her enthusiasm for his career transition and their impending move.
Balancing Motherhood and Career for Perrie Edwards
While Alex focuses on football, Perrie Edwards continues to juggle her music career with motherhood. She is scheduled to perform at several festivals this year, including Big Festival, Isle of Wight Festival, and Mighty Hoopla. In a candid interview with Apple Music last year, while pregnant with Alanis, Perrie discussed the challenges and triumphs of balancing these roles.
She emphasized, "Just because you’re a mum doesn’t mean you’re not you anymore. It doesn’t define you as a person." Perrie also shared her approach to managing demands, saying, "I make sure I’m well rested, getting enough sleep and taking enough time away from screens. I always try and look at the sky in the morning before I look at a screen."
Highlighting the importance of support, she added, "It takes a village. So, it’s not just me. It takes a lot of family members and a lot of my team to make it happen. But I think it’s about balance. I don’t want to not be the best mum possible, but I also don’t want to not be the best artist I can be."
Future Prospects and Family Dynamics
The move to Glasgow represents a fresh start for the couple, blending Alex's football career with family life. Perrie's occasional visits to the city have been noted, with Alex joking about her complaints about the weather, but he remains confident they will settle in soon. As they navigate this transition, both Perrie and Alex are poised to embrace new opportunities while nurturing their growing family.
