Perrie Edwards, a member of the British pop group Little Mix, married English soccer star Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain on June 13, 2026, in a ceremony held at the Igreja Matriz de Estoi church in Portugal. The wedding, which was attended by 140 guests, included three outfit changes for the bride. Edwards walked down the aisle in a lace Dana Harel gown and bolero, describing the design as exactly what she had always "envisioned" for her wedding day. The evening concluded with her wearing a custom Annie's Ibiza minidress, which she referred to as "cinched to the heavens with the corset."
In an interview with British Vogue published on June 16, Edwards shared details of the day, including a near jewelry mishap when a diamond necklace given to her by her husband after the birth of their son, Axel, went missing during the celebrations. Her hairstylist, Aaron Carlo, discovered the necklace tangled in her hair extensions, leading to an emotional moment of relief. Edwards reflected, "It set the tone — I knew from that moment it was gonna be the best day ever."
The couple, who began dating in 2016 and got engaged in June 2022, share two children: son Axel, 4, and daughter Alanis Valentine, born in January 2026. Edwards' Little Mix bandmates Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock were among the guests, and the trio performed choreography to En Vogue, referencing their time on the X Factor UK. The wedding was a culmination of a long relationship that began after Edwards' previous engagement to One Direction's Zayn Malik had ended.
