Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain announced that his fiancée, Perrie Edwards, will be traveling to Glasgow to join him, just four weeks after they welcomed their baby daughter.
The 32-year-old former England player has joined Celtic on a contract that lasts for five months. He had been training with Arsenal and playing for their Under-21 team to stay in shape.
In his first interview since joining the team, Alex shared that his singer partner, Perrie, will be moving to Scotland with their two children: four-year-old Axel and their new baby daughter, Alanis.
He confirmed that Perrie would definitely be joining them soon. They recently had a second baby, who is only four weeks old, and he expects they’ll travel up in a few more weeks.
‘My son will definitely want to come up and he loves football now so it’s good for him to come up.
Perrie has visited a few times and always mentions the weather, but she and the others will likely be back.
Alex, who has 35 caps, has been without a club since leaving Besiktas last summer.
He expressed his excitement about joining the team, saying it’s the perfect opportunity for him to take on a new challenge, and he feels fortunate to be doing so at such a large and well-known club.
They can help me get back on track, but more importantly, I want to help the team succeed.
Perrie Edwards, from the group Little Mix, shared the joyful news last month that she welcomed a baby girl, posting a sweet message on Instagram.
The singer and the footballer, who began dating in 2017 and got engaged in 2022, announced the birth of their daughter and shared her name: Alanis Valentine.
Her social media post received an outpouring of congratulations from both her many fans and celebrity friends. Among those sending well wishes was her bandmate, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, who simply called her a ‘perfect little angel’.
In September, the couple shared the happy news that they’re expecting their second child. They posted a sweet black-and-white video showing their son, Axel, kissing the mother’s growing belly.
The couple’s announcement of their pregnancy came shortly after Perrie Edwards shared her difficult experience with two previous miscarriages. She spoke openly and emotionally about it on the ‘We Need To Talk’ podcast hosted by Paul C Brunson.
The singer revealed she had a miscarriage before giving birth to her son, Axel. She was already pregnant once before, but unfortunately lost the baby early in the pregnancy.
She shared that her son, Axel, is a ‘rainbow baby’ – a term for a child born after a miscarriage. She explained she had miscarried very early in her first pregnancy, and still vividly remembers discovering she was pregnant initially.
Soon after that, I started bleeding and went to the hospital for a scan. The results showed I had lost the baby.
I realized I might have imagined it, or perhaps the test result was incorrect. I remember attending the appointments alone, as no one else was with me.
Perrie shared that after her miscarriage, she felt very anxious during her pregnancy with Axel, constantly hoping to reach the 12-week mark.
She shared that being pregnant with her son, Axel, was a truly happy time for her. She really enjoyed being pregnant and loved the feeling of carrying a baby.
I was really anxious, hoping to make it past the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. Once each scan showed everything was okay, the rest of the pregnancy was wonderful and completely carefree.
I was so thrilled when I found out Perrie was pregnant again! It happened while she was busy rehearsing for Little Mix’s last tour in 2022, just a year after welcoming her son, Axel. It was such wonderful news!
She was heartbroken when she tragically lost her baby at 24 weeks, and described the day they found out as the worst of her life.
Perrie explained that they became pregnant again shortly after, less than a year later, in fact. Axel hadn’t even started walking when they found out.
I realized I was pregnant while rehearsing for the final Little Mix tour. I suddenly felt really unwell – I had every symptom imaginable and just knew something was up.
We had a scan at 20 weeks, though we were actually 22 weeks along, and it was the worst day of my life – absolutely terrible.
I immediately felt something was off during the scan, but the technician kept repeating the same steps. It was unlike anything I’d ever felt – almost like time slowed down and I was watching from outside my body.
She remembered the moment she and Alex came home from the hospital after receiving the terrible news. ‘I just remember crying,’ she said. ‘Alex was hurt and couldn’t drive at the time.’
He was having trouble driving, and I was completely overwhelmed with grief. We lost the baby around 24 weeks of pregnancy.
Perrie spoke openly about how upsetting the loss was, saying, ‘It’s strange, but when it first happened, because it was so soon after, I just thought, “Okay, that’s difficult.”
It’s really tough when you’re visibly pregnant around six months and have already made a lot of preparations, like decorating 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 Edwards told Glamour that the couple felt completely blindsided when their relationship fell apart, describing it as if everything had suddenly collapsed around them. She explained it ‘felt like it came out of nowhere’.
All previous scans had been normal, so we were completely unprepared for the devastating news at the 22-week scan. The whole experience was deeply traumatic.
Oh my gosh, it was a few days after, and I was in the shower when it finally happened! I literally ran out, yelling for my mom – “Mom! Mom!” – and she was all worried, asking what was wrong. I was just so excited, I blurted out, “I’ve got milk!” She just smiled and said, “Oh, honey, the doctors said this was coming.” It was the most amazing moment, honestly!
I simply wasn’t prepared for it, and I was heartbroken. That was the most painful 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 incredibly fortunate to have Alex’s support through a difficult time. She shared that he was deeply affected by their loss, but he made a conscious effort 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 take charge of the situation.
Simply having him there with me, supporting me throughout everything, made the whole experience much easier.
I repeatedly asked him if he was alright, but he kept saying it wasn’t about him. I tried to explain that it was about him, because we were both grieving the loss of our baby. We were both going through a terrible time.
He tends to bottle up his feelings and try to deal with things on his own, but I could tell this really affected him. I think he was trying to be strong 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 prepared 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.
He explained that having a child isn’t always straightforward, and unexpected difficulties can arise once you start a family.
It’s incredibly challenging, particularly for women experiencing pregnancy. The deep connection they form with the developing baby, and the potential for heartbreaking loss, makes it an especially difficult time.
Losing the baby so late in the pregnancy was incredibly hard. Having Axel to care for gave us something to focus on, which was a positive, 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 being a free agent after leaving Besiktas allowed him to focus on family. He enjoyed being home with his son, Axel, and supporting Perrie as they prepared for their second child.
He shared that he’s enjoyed spending the last few months at home with Perrie and their son, Axel. Everyone is thrilled about the arrival of their new baby.
