Little Mix star Perrie Edwards has shared the sweet meaning behind her son’s full name, Axel Xander

Perrie Edwards has shared her son Axel’s full name for the first time - and it has the most adorable link to his footballer dad, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

The Little Mix star shared the cute update with fans after taking part in a Q&A on her Instagram Stories, where one person asked her how she decided on her little one’s name.

Perrie sweetly revealed that it was a tribute to her beau of seven years as she responded: “His name is Axel Xander,” adding, “Like his dadda Alexander.”

How adorable! Axel is already a letter jumble of Alex and now his middle name Xander just attaching the father and son that much further.

Perrie welcomed Axel back in August 2021 just days apart from bandmate Leigh-Anne Pinnock, who welcomed her twins with her husband Andre Gray.

The ‘Sweet Melody’ songstress has gone on to share the most heartwarming pictures of her bundle of joy over the years, and the singer and her two men make quite the dynamic little family.

Perrie and Alex got engaged six years into their relationship and have been together since 2016.

Despite getting engaged in 2022, the pair don't seem to be in that much of a hurry to get married with no date publicly set as of 2024.

However, fans' jaws dropped when Perrie revealed the ring her Sportstar fiance proposed to her with.

Perrie's family life is thriving and so is her solo career. Much like bandmates Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne, Perrie's been working on her solo career after announcing she had signed as a solo artist in 2022 after Little Mix announced their hiatus.

Perrie's first solo single 'Forget About Us' will drop on the 12th of April 2024.
