We can’t wait to meet you baby Ox!”

Their Relationship
A year after cutting off a two year engagement to Zayn Malik, the singer made her relationship with Oxlade-Chamberlain public in an Instagram post in February 2017. The photo showed the two kissing in front of the Eiffel Tower, captioning it simply, “Him.”
It has been four years since Liverpool’s midfielder and Edwards have been dating, marking their anniversary in November. Many questioned whether the duo would be stepping up their game in the relationship with wedding bells possibly chiming.
During an appearance on the Capital Breakfast Show with Roman Kemp, she was asked: “If he did pop the question, is it a silly question to ask, would you say yes?”
Perrie responded, “I have to think about it I think… No Obviously! Me and Leigh-Anne [Pinnock] were just chatting and Andre [Gray] wanted to wait for their anniversary. I was like, aww your four-year, I just had my four-year anniversary and I got a Dairy Milk bar of chocolate! But do you know what, I appreciate him, we don’t want to rush into it. But it would be a definitely yes from me, I reckon!”
Leigh-Anne Pinnock Announced Her Own Pregnancy
Little Mix’s baby boom news started with Leigh-Anne Pinnock who announced her pregnancy last week. She shared the news through a gallery of images posted on social media with her soccer star fiancé Andre Gray.
The post captioned, “We’ve dreamed about this moment for so long and we can’t believe the dream is finally coming true… we can’t wait to meet you. ❤️????.”

Little Mix fans await to see two out of three band members become moms in the next few months. The group became a trio back in December 2020, as Jesy Nelson announced she was quitting due to her ongoing struggle with her mental health.
