Perrie Edwards has welcomed her second child with partner Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, announcing the birth of their daughter, Alanis Valentine, on January 17.
The singer shared the news through a quiet, intimate black-and-white photograph on Instagram, introducing the newest member of their family without fanfare but with unmistakable warmth. It is a composed, tender portrait of family life, showing the newborn baby girl resting against her mother’s chest, with Oxlade-Chamberlain and the couple’s son Axel placing their hands gently beside her.
The name Alanis Valentine was revealed simply in the caption, adding to the understated tone of the announcement, which has been met with warmth across music and sports communities. Congratulatory comments poured in from fans, friends and peers, including Edwards’ Little Mix bandmates. Jade Thirlwall shared her excitement to meet the baby, while Leigh-Anne Pinnock described Alanis as a “perfect little angel,” reflecting the close bond the group members have maintained beyond their years together on stage.
Edwards, 32, and Oxlade-Chamberlain, also 32, welcomed their first child, Axel, in August 2021. Since then, the couple has largely kept their family life private, choosing selective glimpses over constant visibility. The arrival of Alanis marks a meaningful new chapter for the singer, who has been navigating solo music projects alongside motherhood, and for Oxlade-Chamberlain, whose football career has often placed him in the public eye.
The couple first confirmed they were expecting again in September 2025 with a short black-and-white video that featured Oxlade-Chamberlain and Axel, set to Edwards’ solo track “If He Wanted to He Would (from the La La Room). The clip felt personal rather than performative, featuring Oxlade-Chamberlain embracing Edwards as their son Axel kissed her baby bump
Edwards has previously spoken candidly about experiencing pregnancy loss, describing it as deeply personal and emotionally difficult. Against that history, the birth of Alanis carries quiet significance, though the focus has remained firmly on joy, celebration and gratitude rather than reflection.
In the weeks leading up to the birth, Perrie Edwards shared occasional glimpses into pregnancy through social media, including a Christmas post that leaned into humor, chaos and contentment. It reflected a version of motherhood that feels lived-in and honest, aligning with a broader shift among artists who are redefining how much of their personal lives they choose to share.
Congratulations to Perrie Edwards and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain on welcoming their baby girl.
