Fans of Perrie Edwards believe they’ve figured out the significance of her baby daughter’s name, following the arrival of her second child earlier this month.
Perrie Edwards, 32, announced on Saturday that she and her fiancé, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, welcomed a baby girl named Alanis Valentine.
Fans loved Perrie’s baby name, and now someone believes they’ve figured out the hidden significance behind it.
A fan shared on X that the nickname likely comes from Perrie’s time on The X Factor, where she first auditioned in 2011.
During her audition, Perrie performed Alanis Morissette’s “You Oughta Know,” and the judges were impressed enough to send her through to the next round.
Perrie recently shared in an interview that she’d love to name her daughter Alanis, if she ever has one.
One fan shared on Instagram that Perrie previously mentioned her love for Alanis Morissette and her intention to name a daughter Alanis if she ever had one.
Perrie recently shared her admiration for strong, confident women in the music industry. In an interview with Women In Pop, she explained that she loves female artists who are fearless, authentic, and don’t worry about what others think – women who confidently express themselves.
She shared on BBC Radio 2 that she’s been a lifelong fan of Alanis Morissette, as her mother always loved her music. She even said that if she ever had a daughter, she would name her Alanis.
Alanis became well-known in the mid-1990s with the huge success of her album, Jagged Little Pill.
She went onto release You Oughta Know as her next track, alongside another record called Ironic.
Perrie announced over the weekend that she and her partner, Alex, have welcomed their second child.
The singer and the footballer, both 32 years old, became engaged in 2022 after dating for five years. They already have a four-year-old son named Axel.
Perrie announced her joyful news and shared the beautiful name she and her partner chose for their baby: Alanis Valentine.
Her social media post received an outpouring of congratulations from both her many fans and celebrity friends, including a sweet message from her bandmate Leigh-Anne Pinnock, who called her ‘a perfect little angel’.
In September, the couple shared the happy news that they’re expecting their second child with a sweet video of their son, Axel, kissing the mom-to-be’s baby bump.
The couple’s announcement of their pregnancy came shortly after Perrie Edwards shared her difficult experience with two previous miscarriages. She bravely discussed these losses in an emotional conversation on the ‘We Need To Talk’ podcast with Paul C Brunson.
Oh my gosh, you guys, she just told us something so heartbreaking! Apparently, before Axel came along, she actually was pregnant once before! I can’t even imagine how excited she must have been, but sadly, she lost the baby really early on. My heart just breaks for her knowing she went through that before finally getting her sweet Axel. It just makes you love her even more, you know?
She shared that Axel is a ‘rainbow baby,’ meaning she experienced a miscarriage with her first pregnancy very early on. She remembers being happy to discover she was pregnant initially.
It wasn’t long after that I started bleeding, and honestly, it was terrifying. I rushed to the hospital for a scan, and the news was heartbreaking – there was no longer a viable pregnancy. It was just…gone. It’s a pain I wouldn’t wish on anyone, and navigating that loss was incredibly difficult.
I realized I might have imagined it, or perhaps the test result was incorrect. I recall attending the appointments by myself, as no one else was there with me.
Perrie shared that after her miscarriage, she felt very anxious during her pregnancy with Axel, constantly worrying about reaching the 12-week mark.
She shared that being pregnant with her son, Axel, was a truly happy time in her life. She really enjoyed being pregnant and loved the feeling of carrying a baby.
I was quite anxious, really hoping to make it past the first 12 weeks of the pregnancy. Once each scan showed everything was okay, the rest of the pregnancy was wonderful and completely carefree.
In 2022, while preparing for Little Mix’s final tour, she found out she was pregnant again, just a year after giving birth to Axel.
She was heartbroken when she lost her baby at 24 weeks, and she described the day they found out as the worst of her life.
Perrie explained that they became pregnant with their second child shortly after their first. It wasn’t even a year later – Axel hadn’t even started walking yet when they found out!
I realized I was pregnant while rehearsing for the final Little Mix tour. I just didn’t feel well – I had every symptom you could imagine, and that’s when I suspected it.
We had a scan at 20 weeks, although we were actually 22 weeks along, and it was the worst day of my life – absolutely terrible.
I immediately sensed something was off in the scan, but the technician kept repeating the same checks. It was unlike anything I’ve ever felt – almost like an out-of-body experience where time seemed to slow down.
She remembered the day they came home from the hospital after receiving the terrible news. ‘I just started crying,’ she said. ‘Alex was hurt and couldn’t drive, so it was a really difficult moment.’
He was having trouble driving, and I was completely overwhelmed with grief. We lost the baby around 24 weeks of pregnancy.
Perrie shared how deeply affected she was by the loss, saying it was strange because when it first happened, since it was so soon after the start, she initially just thought, ‘Okay, that’s tough.’
It’s really tough when you’re fully pregnant around 24 weeks and have already made a lot of preparations, like setting up the nursery.
It was just between me and a few close friends and family members. I remember right after, people would text asking about my ‘bump,’ and I’d have to tell them there wasn’t one!
She also explained that her intense sadness was made even worse when she realized her body was still producing breast milk, even after the miscarriage.
Perrie told Glamour that she and her partner felt completely blindsided when their relationship fell apart, describing it as if everything suddenly ‘came out of nowhere.’ She explained they hadn’t been ready for such a difficult time.
All previous scans had been normal, so we were completely unprepared for the news at the 22-week scan. It was devastating, and the whole experience was deeply traumatic.
A few days after giving birth, I was showering when my breast milk finally started flowing. I excitedly called for my mom, and when she came in, I told her, “I’ve got milk!” She just smiled and said, “Oh, honey, the doctors told me this would happen.”
I was completely shocked and heartbroken. It was the hardest part – my body had changed and was ready for a baby, but then the baby was lost.
She spoke fondly of her future husband, saying she felt very fortunate to have Alex’s support through a difficult time. She shared that he was deeply affected by their loss, but he remained determined to be strong for her.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have found each other and share a deep love. He was really concerned about me, and I believe he felt helpless, like he couldn’t fix things or offer much support.
Simply having him there with me, supporting me throughout everything, made the whole experience much easier.
I repeatedly asked him if he was doing alright, but he kept saying it wasn’t about him. I tried to explain that it was about him, because we both experienced the loss of a baby and were both hurting.
He tends to bottle up his feelings and try to deal with things on his own, but it was clear this really affected him. I think he was trying to be brave for my sake.
Last month, Alex shared with The Athletic how the miscarriages affected him, explaining that it took a while for him and his partner to feel ready to try for another child.
The former England player said they felt upset when another player asked about their baby, about six months after experiencing a loss.
Becoming a parent really opened my eyes. I quickly realized raising a child isn’t always smooth sailing, and sometimes unexpected challenges come up. It’s definitely taught me things don’t always go as planned.
It’s incredibly challenging, particularly for women experiencing pregnancy. The deep connection they feel to the developing baby, and the potential for heartbreaking loss, makes it an especially difficult time.
Losing the baby, particularly so late in the pregnancy, was incredibly hard. Having Axel to care for gave us something to concentrate on, but it was still a very difficult time.
‘It took a while for us to get to the place where we felt, “OK, should we try this again?”‘
Alex shared that since leaving his football club Besiktas, he’s enjoyed being home with his son, Axel, and supporting Perrie as they prepare for their second child.
He shared that he’s enjoyed spending the last few months at home with Perrie and their son, Axel. Everyone, including Axel, is thrilled about the arrival of their new baby.
