Perrie Edwards Dates Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
Years of tough times might soon be behind Perrie Edwards. A quiet shift appears on the horizon now. Life seems ready to offer softer moments instead. The long stretch of heavy days could finally ease up. What comes next feels different somehow.
Down the aisle she’ll walk soon now, the Little Mix star turning thirty-two. Ten years have passed since they started, time folding into moments shared. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain waits, not alone but surrounded by those who matter most. “I will come,” said loud enough for everyone there to hear it. “Together” has meant something steady through all that came before.
Still, finding real love hasn’t come smoothly for Perrie—Zayn Malik once called off their engagement through a message, back in 2015, leaving things shattered.
One moment, things were shaky, filled with whispers about Zayn straying, though out of nowhere, in 2013, he asked, leaving Perrie thinking it was finally right.
Back when he was twenty-one, Zayn said he didn’t understand much about life. Perrie’s version of events—being left by a message—is something he says isn’t true. Instead, confusion and immaturity shaped what happened between them. He admits he wasn’t ready back then, whatever way it ended
For her part, Perrie recently claimed that there was an ‘overlap’ when he moved on with girlfriend Gigi Hadid, saying it left her feeling, “Oh, shit, they’ve left me for someone more beautiful than me, someone better than me.” ‘
Perrie Shares Feelings on Breakup with Zayn
That pain? She called it worse than anything during her talk on Jamie Laing’s podcast. Left behind, that sinking feeling—like you’re not measuring up. A guest said breakup agony hits hardest when it seems someone moved on more easily. Abandonment cuts deep, she explained, whispering how doubt creeps in. Worse than failure, worse than loss—it leaves a mark nothing else does
Later, she spoke about dealing with deep sadness after the breakup—moments so hard they felt like falling apart.
Zayn said afterward he hadn’t felt love, twisting the knife even deeper. Yet things kept leading back to Perrie finding Alex on Raya, that celebrity-only network—right away, sparks flew between the two
Years passed before the engagement happened. By 2021, a baby boy arrived—named Axel. Not long after, January brought another arrival—daughter Alanis.
Healing came through that bond after the rough breakup with Zayn left deep marks.
Perrie Finds Love Again With Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
Out of nowhere, Perrie mentioned she isn’t angry at anyone. She went on to say things weren’t really someone’s fault, more just how it was. Since youth tends to shape beliefs fast, she realized later that what felt like love back then wasn’t love at all.
Only when you leave it behind does the truth become clear. A new situation shows what was invisible before. Distance reveals what closeness hides. She said about Alex: Not just safe but steady. Calm shows up every time. Talking to them feels like coming home. Whatever comes, help is already there. Always on your side. Something about it sits right in my chest, hard to put into words. “Nice” is the closest I get when trying to describe how it lands.
These days, following a decade focused on raising kids and building jobs, marriage feels like the next step for them. Someone close shared: ‘For Perrie, wedding dreams have grown quietly over months—anticipation now runs high.’
Perrie and Alex Plan Marriage After a Decade Together
One decade has passed since Perrie Edwards began seeing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Through those years came a boy first, then a girl—both theirs. Happiness settled in without fanfare.
Off she goes, heading to the Algarve beside Alex, the whole family tagging along, even those few friends who feel like kin. Small. Quiet. Just how Perrie and Alex always pictured it. That is what they said to The Sun.
Among those invited, Perrie’s Little Mix colleagues Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock make an appearance—joining them, a few former Celtic teammates of Alex show up too.
Last month, Perrie shared that she and Alex will marry this year after being questioned on the topic. Asked what she had next, marriage came up as the answer. Her reply made it clear—there will be a wedding.
She smiled, talking about the dress looking just right—shared it while chatting with 1883 Magazine. Though plenty was going on—personally and at work—her voice lit up talking about the wedding. Trying it on recently brought things into focus. So much happening, yet that moment stood out.
