Perrie Edwards and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are set to celebrate their marriage this weekend in Portugal. The couple, both 32, have shared a nearly decade-long romance marked by significant milestones. These include their engagement, welcoming two children together, and navigating challenges like a long-distance relationship during Alex’s football contract in Turkey.
Perrie and Alex’s Love Story
Perrie, famous as a member of the girl group Little Mix, and Alex, a professional footballer since 2010, first connected in November 2016. Their relationship gained public attention when Perrie was seen in Alex’s box at an Arsenal match. They confirmed their relationship through social media, sharing affectionate moments, including a romantic photo in front of the Eiffel Tower.
Engagement and Family Life
In 2022, Alex proposed to Perrie during a holiday, capturing the special moment on social media. Perrie joyfully shared that she said yes, calling Alex the love of her life. Their family grew when they welcomed their son, Axel, in August 2021, followed by the birth of their daughter, Alanis Valentine, in January 2026.
Wedding Details
The upcoming wedding ceremony will take place in Quinta do Lago, Portugal, where Perrie owns a villa. The couple has planned an intimate celebration with close family and friends. Guests expected to attend include Perrie’s Little Mix bandmates, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall, though Jesy Nelson will reportedly not attend.

Current Living Arrangements
Despite their long relationship and two children, Perrie and Alex currently reside separately. Perrie lives in a £3.5 million mansion in Cheshire, while Alex has recently moved to Glasgow following his transfer to Celtic Football Club. This shift may eventually lead to a shared home for their growing family.
Past Relationships
Before Alex, Perrie was engaged to Zayn Malik of One Direction from 2013 to 2015, a relationship that ended publicly. She described the heartbreak in interviews, indicating challenges during that time.
