A Union of Music and Football
The historic village of Estoi in Portugal’s Algarve region became the setting for a high‑profile romance as Perrie Edwards, formerly of Little Mix, walked down the aisle with Celtic midfielder Alex Oxlade‑Chamberlain.
Edwards dazzled in a white corseted wedding dress trimmed with lace, clutching a bouquet of white calla lilies, while Oxlade‑Chamberlain matched her elegance in a classic black tuxedo adorned with a single white calla lily boutonnière.
The ceremony, held on June 13 at the Igreja Matriz de Estoi, was attended by a select circle of friends and family, including fellow musicians and former teammates, underscoring the couple’s desire for an intimate celebration.
Their love story began on the celebrity‑focused dating app Raya, a connection that deepened after Edwards spotted Oxlade‑Chamberlain on the television panel of Celebrity Gogglebox. Over the years they have built a partnership grounded in mutual respect, raising two children, Axel, four, and Alanis, five months.
In interviews, Edwards has spoken of Oxlade‑Chamberlain’s genuine, funny, and supportive nature, noting that the secret to their lasting bond lies in viewing each other as lifelong teammates rather than competitors.
