Perrie Edwards, best known as a member of the British girl group Little Mix, is expecting her second child with her fiancé, professional footballer Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. The 32-year-old singer surprised fans over the weekend with a heartwarming pregnancy announcement on Instagram, where she shared a creatively styled video that has since gone viral.
In the video, Edwards is seen wearing a white T-shirt with the back reading, “If he wanted to he would…” As she turns to face the camera, her shirt reveals the front message: “…and he did!” — all while showing off her baby bump. The moment was made even more special when Alex and their 4-year-old son, Axel, joined her on camera. The family looked overjoyed as they celebrated the upcoming arrival of their newest member. Edwards captioned the post simply with, “Guess what hunnies…”
This joyful announcement holds even more meaning following the emotional revelations Edwards made just weeks prior on the We Need to Talk podcast. In the episode, released on August 19, Edwards opened up about the difficult experiences she and Alex have had with pregnancy, sharing that she had suffered multiple miscarriages — both before and after the birth of Axel. She described her journey as a “tricky situation” and called Axel their rainbow child, explaining that her first pregnancy ended very early in a miscarriage.
She also recounted a particularly heartbreaking experience while she was on tour with Little Mix. During rehearsals, she started feeling unwell and suspected she might be pregnant again. Her instincts proved correct, but during a doctor’s visit, it became apparent that something wasn’t right. At 24 weeks, she lost the baby. Edwards described how the doctor’s concerned expression during the scan made her realize the seriousness of the situation even before hearing the words.
Despite the emotional hardships, the new chapter in her life has brought immense joy to the couple and their fans. Edwards’ willingness to speak publicly about her losses and to share the happiness of her current pregnancy has sparked an outpouring of support and love across social media. The announcement not only celebrates the growth of her family but also shines a light on the resilience and strength it takes to keep moving forward after loss.
As fans continue to shower the family with congratulations, Edwards’ story stands as a reminder of the importance of compassion, vulnerability, and hope in the face of life’s most personal challenges.
