Perrie Edwards set to finally live with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain for first time in NINE years as he eyes up UK return.

Plans for cohabitation

According to The Sun: Singer Perrie Edwards, who previously admitted she has never lived with her fiancé Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, is finally ready to take this step.

Footballer Alex, who is 32 years old, has successfully played in Turkey for the club 'Besiktas', with the next step being a return home to the UK, where he can be close to his family.

This will definitely please singer Perrie, who has secured a big deal, which she previously remarked:

“We have never lived together.”

A source told The Sun:

“Perrie and Alex are very excited about the prospect of finally living together after eight years.”

 

“She has never hidden the struggles of a long-distance relationship, but now that Alex is being considered by clubs like Birmingham City and Leeds, it seems they can finally be a real family – something they have always dreamed of.”

The challenges of a long-distance relationship

This news comes after the Little Mix star admitted that she has never lived with her fiancé despite nine years of being together.

During Jonathan Ross's show last year, she confessed:

“I can’t lie, it’s hard.”

 

“When he was playing for Liverpool and living in Manchester, it was easier to move around, but Turkey is a bit further, and he doesn't have that many weekends off.”

Perrie also added:

“We have never lived together. All those eight years of our relationship, we have actually never lived together.”

Perrie and Alex confirmed their relationship in 2017, and four years later became parents to a boy named Axel. The couple got engaged in 2022 but is yet to marry.

Personal losses and struggles

Perrie, a winner of X Factor, recently opened up about experiencing two losses during pregnancy in her interview on Paul C. Branson's podcast “We Need To Talk.”

The first loss occurred in 2022 when Little Mix was preparing for a break.

“I was rehearsing for the last Little Mix tour and thought: ‘I feel unwell’. I thought, ‘I might be pregnant’.”

When the pregnancy ended, Perrie recalled:

“We went for a scan at 20 weeks, but it was actually 22 weeks, and it was the worst day of my life. I just knew something was wrong.”

The couple are parents to son AxelInstagramPerrie and Alex have gone through significant trials, but hope emerges in their lives for a new phase – cohabitation. After nine years of challenges and a relationship, they might finally create the real family they have always dreamed of. Here's hoping that new circumstances help strengthen their bond.
