Little Mix star Perrie Edwards has shared the first images of her son and revealed his name – Axel.
The singer, 28, welcomed the child with footballer Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain on August 21 and announced his arrival to fans on social media a day later.
Edwards posted two photos on Instagram showing Axel – an anagram of his father’s name – wrapped in a blanket and wearing a baby blue knitted hat.
She wrote: “2 weeks of loving you. I’ve never felt love like this before! Axel Oxlade-Chamberlain”.
The images were liked more than 350,000 times within 20 minutes, with fans describing the baby as “just magic” and “perfect”.
Her bandmate Leigh-Anne Pinnock also recently gave birth to twins with footballer fiance Andre Gray.
Edwards announced she was pregnant in May, sharing a photo of her bump on Instagram alongside the caption: “So happy to be on this wild journey with my soulmate. Me + Him = You. We can’t wait to meet you baby Ox!”
A second photo showed Oxlade-Chamberlain, with whom she has been in a relationship since early 2017, cradling her from behind.
He wrote on his own page: “Anyone got any advice on how to change nappies? so grateful and excited to become a dad. bring on the sleepless nights.”
Edwards confirmed their romance in February 2017 after weeks of speculation, sharing a photo on Instagram showing them kissing in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
She captioned the shot: “Him.”
Little Mix formed on The X Factor in 2011 and have become one of the country’s biggest-selling girl bands.
They left Simon Cowell’s Syco Music for the RCA label in November 2018.
Jesy Nelson left the group last December, saying the high-profile role had “taken a toll” on her mental health.
