Perrie Edwards says it felt like an \u201cout of body experience\u201d when she found out she had suffered a miscarriage for the second time in her life in 2022. The Little Mix<\/a> singer, 32, shares son Axel, who turns four this week, with former Arsenal midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain,<\/a> also 32, but has now opened up about the devastating miscarriage they suffered less than a year after Axel\u2019s birth.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe went for what was a 20-week scan, but we were actually 22 weeks, and that was just the worst day of my life. Like horrendous. And I just knew something was wrong in the scan, and [the doctor] just kept going over the same thing, over the same thing… I’ve never experienced an out-of-body experience where everything goes in slow motion,\u201d said Perrie as she shared the ordeal with Celebs Go Dating expert Paul C. Brunson on his podcast, We Need To Talk.<\/a><\/p>\n

Perrie continued: “So then I remember sobbing. [Alex] was injured at the time and he couldn’t really drive. He was struggling to drive, but I couldn’t see straight. I was just distraught. And yeah, we basically lost the baby at like 24 weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n

This wasn\u2019t Perrie\u2019s first experience with losing a child, with the singer describing Axel as a \u201crainbow baby\u201d after she lost a baby during her first pregnancy<\/a>, \u201cI had a miscarriage very early on with my first ever pregnancy, and it was so early. I remember finding out I was pregnant. Obviously, I started bleeding not long after, and I went to the hospital and I had the scan and they were like, ‘There’s no baby.'”<\/p>\n

But it was the second experience which Perrie said really hit home, after she and Alex had already begun preparing for the newborn\u2019s arrival. \u201cWhen you’re fully, like carrying in your 24 weeks and you’ve planned out like that room and all these things, it’s really hard. And nobody knows other than, like, immediate friends and family. And I remember, like, shortly after, like, friends would message and be like, \u2018how’s the bump?\u2019 And I’ll be like, there is no bump.”<\/p>\n

Despite the heartache, Perrie describes being pregnant as one of the \u201cbest times\u201d in her life, and couldn\u2019t be happier to be a mum to Axel.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was pregnant with [Axel], like, I loved being pregnant, it was one of the happiest times of my life. Like, I just love carrying babies. And it was lovely. But I was a bit on edge thinking, oh, gosh, like, I want to get past the 12 weeks. I want to get past this. And when I get past every scan and that pregnancy was complete bliss, it was perfect.”<\/p>\n

The South Shields-born singer has been in a relationship with footballer Alex, who now plays for Turkish team Be\u015fikta\u015f, since 2016, after meeting on celebrity dating app Raya. The couple got engaged in 2022, with Alex organising a romantic beachside proposal, but are yet to reveal any details of a wedding.<\/p>\n

Prior to her relationship with Alex, which Perrie describes as \u201csafe, calm and positive\u201d, the star was engaged to One Direction<\/a> alum Zayn Malik. The couple both rose to fame during their respective time on The X Factor<\/a> and were together for four years, beginning when Perrie was just 19 years old before they split in 2015.<\/a><\/p>\n

Looking back at the \u201ctoxic\u201d first relationship, Perrie admitted to Paul, \u201cI think definitely at the time I thought everything we experienced in our relationship was normal. Because it was my first relationship, first love. I was like, \u2018Oh, this is how it’s supposed to feel. It’s supposed to feel a little bit toxic. In some ways, this is probably normal, right?\u2019 And then when I became single, I was almost thinking, like, I never, ever want to go through that again. I didn’t even want to meet anybody. I was like, that’s me done. I don’t think I could bear that pain.”<\/p>\n

Perrie continued that the experience has made her more appreciative of Alex\u2019s calming nature, “But now, reflecting back, I’m thinking, oh, that probably wasn’t good. And I’ve noticed it a lot. Like in the start of the relationship, I would handle things differently with Alex, and he’d come at it with such a level head that it would throw me.”<\/p>\n
