Perrie Edwards Marries Soccer Star Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

Little Mix’s Perrie Edwards Gives Birth, Welcomes Baby No. 2 with Fiancé Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

Perrie Edwards is singing the sweet melody of wedding bells.

The Little Mix alum wed Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in an intimate ceremony in the Algarve region of Portugal on June 13, according to photos published by the Daily Mail.

The couple—who got engaged in 2022—said "I do" at the idyllic Igreja Matriz de Estoi church in the village of Estoi in Faro.

For her special day, Edwards was the definition of bridal beauty, with the "Sweet Melody" singer donning a white corseted wedding dress featuring long sleeves and lace detailing.

Edwards—who held a bouquet of white calla lilies—was bridal chic with her hair styled in a sleek bun and topped off with a white veil. She finished off the look with a pair of gold earrings.

As for Oxlade-Chamberlain, the soccer star—who plays for the Scottish Premiership club Celtic—donned a simple, yet suave black tuxedo, adorned with a matching white calla lily boutonniere.

Following the nuptials, the newlyweds—who share kids Axel, 4, and Alanis, 5 months, together—were all smiles while walking hand-in-hand down the church's stairs as they made their debut as husband and wife, with their guests tossing white rose petals.

Edwards and Oxlade-Chamberlain were first linked in 2016. While the pair met on the celebrity dating app Raya, they didn't go on a date until after Edwards watched the former Arsenal and Liverpool soccer player on the long-running British TV series Celebrity Gogglebox.

"I messaged him saying his Gogglebox episode was really cool, 'Do you want to go out for a drink or whatever? Do you want to take me out?'" she said on a 2025 episode of Fearne Cotton's Happy Place podcast. "And then he replied, 'It's a school night tonight,' as in football. He was so focused on football. I could barely get him out of the house. It was also annoying, but I was like, 'Fair enough.'"

For Edwards—who previously dated One Direction alum Zayn Malik from 2012 to 2015—it was love at first sight when she finally saw Oxlade-Chamberlain in person.

"Eventually, we met up and the second I'd seen him at Cirque nightclub doorway, I knew he was mine," she recalled. "I was like, 'Oh, my God. I'm obsessed.' He was so handsome, and he was dressed so nice and his hair was so nice and I was just like, 'F--k. I love him.'"

From there, the 32-year-old shared that she "fell for him really quickly."

"He was just so genuine and really lovely and funny as hell," she explained. "He's the funniest person I've ever met in my life. He makes me cackle! He's just brilliant. He's just great. I'm really lucky."

And that feeling has remained, all these years and two kids later.

"I honestly love that man with every bit of my being," the singer continued. "If he had a zit, I'd f--king crawl in it. I'm obsessed with him."

As for the secret to the success of her relationship with Oxlade-Chamberlain, also 32, it comes down to being prepared to be teammates for life.

"We always knew we were going to be together forever," Edwards shared on the We Need to Talk podcast last August. "We just get each other. We understand each other. We support each other. There's no competition. It's very much just I want to see him win, he wants to see me win. We wanna build each other up, we wanna build an empire together and it's all very equal, which is what I've not really had in a relationship before."

Edwards and Oxlade-Chamberlain aren't the only stars to get married in 2026. Keep reading for more celebs who have tied the knot this year...
