Perrie Edwards showed a visible baby bump as she stepped out in London on Wednesday, marking her first public appearance since announcing she and fiancé Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are expecting their second child.
The former Little Mix singer, 32, and the England international — who share son Axel, 4 — revealed the pregnancy last week in a short clip posted to social media. In the video Edwards and Oxlade-Chamberlain appear alongside their son, and Edwards pulled back a T‑shirt printed with lyrics from her single "If He Wanted To He Would" to reveal her growing bump while captioning the post, "Guess what hunnies…".
On Wednesday Edwards drew attention at the London outing in a white, plunging corset paired with a satin skirt trimmed with lace. She wore a beige cropped trench off her shoulders, layered chunky gold necklaces, and carried a white Dior saddle bag. She smiled and waved to fans as she walked.
Edwards has been open about past pregnancy losses. On the Paul C. Brunson podcast "We Need to Talk" she recounted an early miscarriage during her first pregnancy and a later loss at about 24 weeks after discovering she was pregnant while rehearsing for Little Mix's final tour in 2022. She described the 20‑week scan, which she said showed something was wrong, as the "worst day" of her life and said the experience felt like an "out‑of‑body" moment.
Edwards called her son Axel a "rainbow baby" and said that, after the early loss, she was on edge during later pregnancies and focused on getting past each milestone scan. She has also spoken publicly about the support of Oxlade‑Chamberlain, saying his calmness helped her after difficult relationships in her past.
The singer and the footballer began dating in 2016 and became engaged in 2022. Axel was born on Aug. 21, 2021.
Since Little Mix's hiatus, Edwards has pursued a solo career and released the song "If He Wanted To He Would" this year. She has also been candid about her mental health: earlier this year she told presenter Alison Hammond that she has developed a panic disorder and that the fear of having a severe panic attack when alone makes her reluctant to be by herself.
Edwards's appearance and the couple's announcement prompted congratulatory messages from fans and peers on social media. In discussing her miscarriages and mental‑health struggles, Edwards has emphasized the emotional impact of those experiences and the importance of support from friends and family.
