Perrie Edwards married professional footballer Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in a ceremony in Portugal over the weekend, with the singer looking incredible in a lace wedding gown
Newlyweds Perrie Edwards and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are seen beaming in a beautiful snap of them moments after getting married in Portugal.
The happy couple exchanged vows this weekend at a small Catholic church in Quinta do Lago, a scenic area in the Algarve, four years after Alex popped the question.
Following the service, the Little Mix singer and Celtic footballer, both 32, emerged hand-in-hand, beaming as they posed for photos outside the stunning building. Perrie, looking beautiful in her lace wedding gown, wore her blonde hair slicked back in a chic up-do and held a bouquet of white calla lilies, that she waved as guests cheered.
Groom Alex looked dapper in a black tuxedo, as they stood in front of their wedding car, a vintage white Mercedes convertible.
Photographs of the wedding day also appear to show a number of bridesmaids wearing baby blue gowns and holding parasols as they cheered on the newlyweds down the church steps.
The pair, who have been together since 2017 and engaged since June 2022, opted for a low-key ceremony, with just 70 people attending, before hosting their closest family friends at the nearby Parrilla Natural restaurant, one of the most scenic spots in the Algarve.
The stunning wedding comes just five months after Perrie, who also shares son Axel with the former England midfielder, gave birth to their second child, daughter Alanis Valentine.
“Perrie and Alex’s wedding day could not have been more special. It was intimate and emotional,” a source told The Sun, revealing the day was filled with small personal touches.
“Perrie and Alex’s son Axel had a special role to play in the ceremony. It was adorable to see. Perrie looked absolutely radiant and Alex didn’t stop smiling. It was a truly beautiful day.”
Perrie’s Little Mix bandmate, Jade Thirlwall, was forced to miss the big day due to her appearance at Primavera festival on Saturday. It is not clear whether Leigh-Anne Pinnock joined in the festivities, alongside a number of Alex’s former teammates, including ex-Arsenal footballer Carl Jenkinson and Fulham’s Harrison Reed.
Perrie recently spoke about her relationship with Alex and said to Jamie Laing on his Great Company podcast, that she thinks their relationship is an example of “healthy love”.
She said: “I just love how calm he is and how understanding he is and how caring he is and thoughtful he is.
“I just feel safe with Alex. I feel just content and happy and it’s not effort.”
Perrie shot to fame after winning The X Factor in 2011 in Little Mix, which included Leigh-Ann Pinnock, Jade Thirlwall and Jesy Nelson.
She has since launched her solo career and released her debut solo album last year. She also recently performed at the Mighty Hoopla festival in London.
