Perrie Edwards, the star of Little Mix, revealed that she had a devastating miscarriage at 24 weeks pregnant and that it felt like an “out of body experience” for her.
Perrie Edwards says it felt like an “out of body experience” when she found out she had suffered a miscarriage for the second time in her life in 2022. The Little Mix singer, 32, shares son Axel, who turns four this week, with former Arsenal midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, also 32, but has now opened up about the devastating miscarriage they suffered less than a year after Axel’s birth.
“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 [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,” said Perrie as she shared the ordeal with Celebs Go Dating expert Paul C. Brunson on his podcast, We Need To Talk.
Perrie continued, “So I can’t help but feel sobbing. Alex was unable to really drive because of his injuries at the time. I couldn’t see straight through his struggles with driving. Simply put, I was devastated. And yes, the baby was essentially lost at about 24 weeks.

This wasn’t Perrie’s first experience with losing a child, with the singer describing Axel as a “rainbow baby” after she lost a baby during her first pregnancy, “I 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.'”
After she and Alex had already begun making plans for the arrival of the baby, Perrie claimed that the second encounter really hit home. It’s really difficult when you’re fully, like carrying in your 24 weeks with plans like that for that room and everything else, when you’re doing it. And nobody else has any knowledge besides immediate friends and family. And I recall that friends would message me and ask, “How’s the bump? ” shortly after. and I’ll say, “There is no bump,” “.
Despite the heartache, Perrie describes the birth of Axel as one of her “best experiences” in life and is relieved to be one.
One of the happiest times of my life occurred when I was pregnant with [Axel], which I loved doing. I just enjoy carrying babies, I suppose. It was lovely, too. However, I was a little pessimistic when I realized, oh, gosh, I want to pass the twelve weeks. I’d like to move past this. And it was perfect when I finally got past every scan and realized my pregnancy was a total success.
After meeting on the celebrity dating app Raya, the South Shields-born singer has been dating football player Alex since 2016. Alex currently plays for the Turkish team Beşiktaş. The couple engaged in 2022, and Alex planned a romantic beachside proposal, but they haven’t yet disclosed any wedding details.
Prior to her relationship with Alex, which Perrie describes as “safe, calm and positive”, the star was engaged to One Direction alum Zayn Malik. The couple both rose to fame during their respective time on The X Factor and were together for four years, beginning when Perrie was just 19 years old before they split in 2015.
Perrie acknowledged to Paul in her “toxic” first relationship, saying, “I think definitely at the time I thought everything we experienced in our relationship was normal. since it was my first love and relationship. Oh, this is how it’s supposed to feel, I thought. It should have a certain toxic feel to it. This is probably normal in some ways, don’t you think? And then, when I was single, I was almost pondering, “I never, ever want to go through that again.” I was completely uninterested in meeting anyone. I thought, “That’s me done,” That pain is beyond my ability to endure.
Perrie continued, “But now, reflecting back, I’m thinking, oh, that probably wasn’t good, but the experience has made her more appreciative of Alex’s calming nature. And I’ve noticed a lot of it. I would approach things differently with Alex, and he would approach it with such a level head that it would throw me. “I would handle things differently with Alex at the beginning of the relationship.
