The singer and footballer celebrate a romantic Algarve wedding surrounded by family and friends after nearly ten years together.
After almost a decade of building a life together, raising a family and growing side by side away from the most intense spotlight of fame, Perrie Edwards and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have officially said “I do”. The Little Mix star and the British footballer married in a beautiful ceremony in Portugal that has quickly become one of the most talked-about celebrity weddings of the year.
Both aged 32, the couple chose Portugal’s stunning Algarve region as the setting for an intimate and elegant celebration attended by close family and friends. The ceremony took place at the historic Igreja Matriz de Estoi, located in the picturesque village of Estoi near Faro, a destination long favoured by British celebrities for private events and luxury celebrations.
For the occasion, Perrie Edwards wore a breathtaking lace wedding gown that blended timeless romance with classic sophistication. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain complemented the occasion perfectly in a sharp black tuxedo, embracing the understated elegance that defined the entire event.
According to British media reports, around seventy guests attended the ceremony, which lasted approximately thirty minutes. Following the exchange of vows, celebrations continued outside the church before guests moved to an exclusive venue inspired by South American architecture, where the wedding reception and evening festivities took place.
The wedding marks the latest chapter in a love story that began nearly ten years ago. Rumours of their relationship first emerged in 2016, when Perrie was entering a new phase of both her personal and professional life following Little Mix’s international success. Since then, the pair have built one of the most stable and admired relationships in British entertainment, largely avoiding the controversies that often surround high-profile celebrity couples.
Over the years, the singer and footballer have shared some of the most significant milestones of their lives together. In 2021, they welcomed their first child, Axel, and earlier this year expanded their family with the arrival of their daughter, Alanis.
The engagement took place in 2022 during a romantic seaside holiday. The photographs shared by Perrie at the time showcased a spectacular coastal setting, perfectly reflecting the romantic spirit that has characterised much of their relationship.
News of the wedding also sparked interest among Little Mix fans, particularly regarding the attendance of Perrie’s former bandmates. While Jade Thirlwall was unable to attend due to professional commitments linked to her performance at Primavera Sound in Porto, it remains unclear whether Leigh-Anne Pinnock was ultimately able to join the celebrations.
Beyond the details of the ceremony itself, the wedding highlights the positive chapter both are currently enjoying. While Perrie continues to establish herself as a solo artist following Little Mix’s hiatus, Alex remains focused on his football career while embracing family life away from the spotlight.
In an industry where relationships often struggle under intense public scrutiny, Perrie Edwards and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have become a rare example of longevity, discretion and commitment. Nearly a decade after they were first linked, the couple have officially sealed a love story that many fans regard as one of the strongest and most enduring in British pop culture.
