LITTLE Mix’s Perrie Edwards has revealed her son Axel’s ‘real name’, and it’s a tribute to famous footballer dad.
Perrie, 30, welcomed her first child with her fiancé Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, 29, in August 2021.
But she’s now told fans his middle name is Xander, in tribute to his father whose full name is Alexander.
The singer had been asked in an Instagram Q&A, “How did you decide on the name Axel for your baby?”
Last year, Alex got down on one knee and asked Perrie to be his wife.
The former X Factor winner confirmed her engagement via Instagram after a stunning beach front proposal.
She took to social media to share the happy news alongside a selection of pictures from the special moment.
Perrie captioned the snaps: “Last night the love of my life got down on one knee and I said… YES!”
Footballer Alex chose to propose at sunset by the ocean, with a photographer catching the sweet moment he got down on one knee on the rocks.
Perrie wore a black dress with a designer shawl draped around her shoulders and put her head in her hands as she realised what was happening.
The couple then shared a kiss before the star then shared a close up of her huge diamond ring.
The happy couple have been together since November 2016, although they didn’t make their relationship public until February 2017.
