Less than a year after the birth of their son, Axel, Perrie Edwards, the Little Mix star, bravely admitted to losing the child she and her fiance, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Perrie Edwards has revealed she tragically suffered a miscarriage at 22 weeks while she was rehearsing for Little Mix’s tour. The X Factor star, who is engaged to footballer, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, recalled the day she was given the heartbreaking news on Paul C. Brunson’s We Need to Talk podcast.
Perrie, 32, who shares Axel, four, with Alex, also 32, explained that she fell pregnant less than a year after their son was born. However, after revealing that she “didn’t feel very good” while rehearsing with Little Mix, Perrie told the Married At First Sight star her heartwrenching news.
Revealing the results of her devastating 22-week scan, the singer shared: “We 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 he [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.” It comes as Perrie opened up about her mental health in a new interview.

Perrie blatantly stated, “We basically lost the baby at like 24 weeks,” when Alex was “struggling to drive” on the way home from the hospital.
The star also sadly suffered a miscarriage before Axel was born, very early on into her first pregnancy. Explaining that her son was her “rainbow baby”, Perrie shared: “It’s weird because the first time it happened, I think because it was so early, I was like, oh, that’s hard. But I think when 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 else knows than their immediate friends and family,” he said. And I recall that friends would message me and ask, “How’s the bump? ” shortly after. And I’ll say to myself, “There is no bump.
After bravely revealing she had agoraphobia of such a high level that she was afraid to leave the house last year, Perrie has since spoken openly about her personal life.
In an interview that was released this week, she admitted that she has a tendency to “catastrophize” situations and struggled to leave the house she shares with her fiance and their son in 2024.
Speaking to the Telegraph, Perrie pointed out that she’s “in her element” on stage, describing herself as “empowered”. However, when she gets home it’s a different story as she continued: “But as soon as I’m back home behind closed doors, that’s when the anxiety kicks in and I’m just me again.”
She told the outlet that she can’t help but “catastrophise” over “everyday things,” such as getting into her car and driving to London, revealing: “At the end of last year my agoraphobia got so bad I could barely leave the house.”
According to the NHS, agoraphobia is “a fear of being in situations where escape might be difficult or where help wouldn’t be available if things go wrong”. It further states that the condition can lead to symptoms of a panic attack, and the NHS adds that it can itself develop from panic disorder.
