Congratulations are in order for Perrie Edwards and her fiancé, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who are expecting their second child together.
On Saturday (Sept. 6), the 32-year-old Little Mix singer announced that she and the professional football player, also 32, are preparing to welcome a new addition to their growing family.
“Guess what hunnies…,” Perrie captioned an adorable video on Instagram, adding a red heart emoji.

In the black-and-white clip, Perrie wears a white T-shirt with the phrase, “If He Wanted To He Would…” printed on the back. As she turns around, she reveals her baby bump along with a message on the front of the shirt that reads, “…and He Did!” Moments later, her fiancé and their 3-year-old son, Axel, step into the frame to share a sweet family embrace.
The joyful announcement comes after Perrie opened up about a heartbreaking pregnancy loss following the birth of Axel in 2021. In a candid interview on the We Need to Talk podcast in August, the “Shout Out to My Ex” singer reflected on one of the most difficult periods of her life.
“Axel wasn’t even walking yet and we were pregnant,” the X Factor alum said. “I found out when I was rehearsing for the Little Mix tour. I was at rehearsals and I thought, ‘Oh I don’t feel good.’ Every symptom under the sun so I was like, ‘I think I’m pregnant.’”
While tests confirmed she was expecting again, something didn’t feel right once she began touring in April 2022 with her Little Mix bandmates Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall.
“Every night before a show, I kept bleeding,” Perrie said. “I remember sitting and thinking, ‘This is it, I’ve lost the baby.’”
Despite reassuring check-ups early on, she later received devastating news during her 20-week scan.
“That was just the worst day of my life, like horrendous,” she said, explaining how traumatic the experience was. “I just knew something was wrong in the scan.” She continued, “I think when you’re fully carrying and you’re 24 weeks and you’ve planned out like their room and all these things, it’s really hard.”
