Perrie Edwards announced on Saturday that she is expecting her second child with footballer fiancé Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
The Little Mix singer, 32, shared a short video on social media in which her four-year-old son, Axel, appears and kisses her baby bump. Edwards captioned the post, "Guess what hunnies…," and turned to reveal her growing bump while lifting a white T-shirt that featured lyrics from her new single "If He Wanted To He Would." Fans and several celebrity friends sent messages of congratulations under the post.
Edwards and Oxlade-Chamberlain are already parents to Axel. The couple have frequently shared aspects of their family life publicly since the boy's birth. Edwards used the Instagram announcement to combine the personal news with a promotional nod to her music.
In recent months Edwards has spoken openly about difficult experiences with pregnancy loss. On an episode of Paul C Brunson's "We Need To Talk" podcast she said she had endured two miscarriages before the birth of Axel and that she miscarried early into her first pregnancy. In interviews and on social media she has described the toll those losses took and the support she received from family and friends.
Edwards rose to fame as a member of pop group Little Mix, and she has continued to pursue solo music projects alongside her public profile as a parent and partner. Oxlade-Chamberlain is a professional footballer who has played for clubs in England and represented the national team; the couple's relationship and family developments have drawn attention in British media.
The announcement follows a period in which Edwards combined music releases and personal disclosures, including reflections on mental health and the impact of past hardships. Her decision to reveal her pregnancy in a short, family-focused video mirrors a growing trend among public figures to share major life updates directly with followers via social platforms.
At the time of the announcement, Edwards had not disclosed further details about her pregnancy, including a due date or plans for public appearances. Representatives for Edwards and Oxlade-Chamberlain did not immediately respond to requests for additional comment.
