Newlyweds Perrie Edwards and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain look so in love moments after getting hitched in Portugal.
The happy couple exchanged vows this weekend at a small Catholic church in Quinta do Lago, a scenic area in the Algarve, four years after he popped the question.
Following the service, the Little Mix singer and Celtic footballer, both 32, emerged hand-in-hand, beaming as they posed for photos outside the stunning building. The bride was seen clutching a bouquet of white calla lilies that she waved as her guests cheered.

The famous couple opted for a low-key ceremony, with just 70 people attending before hosting their closest family friends at the nearby Parrilla Natural restaurant, one of the most scenic spots in the Algarve.
The stunning wedding comes just five months after Perrie, who also shares a son named Axel with the former England midfielder, gave birth to their second child, daughter Alanis Valentine. Sources say Axel played a special role during the ceremony, making the occasion more meaningful for the family.
Perrie’s Little Mix bandmate, Jade Thirlwall, was forced to miss the big day due to her appearance at Primavera festival on Saturday. It is not clear whether Leigh-Anne Pinnock joined in the festivities, alongside a number of Alex’s former teammates including ex-Arsenal footballer Carl Jenkinson and Fulham’s Harrison Reed.
Perrie has been with the former Liverpool and Arsenal midfielder since 2017 and they became engaged in 2022.
During a candid talk with We Need To Talk podcast with Paul C Brunson, Perrie also revealed that she had two miscarriages, once before she had her son and again after he was born.

Speaking about their romance said: “I just love how calm he is, and how understanding he is, and how caring and thoughtful he is. I just feel safe with Alex. I feel just content and happy.”
A post shared in June 2022 provided an insight into the sports star’s stunning proposal. The singer showed off her engagement ring as she said: “Last night the love of my life got down on one knee and I said… YES!”
They regularly share updates from their happy lives together on Instagram, but have yet to publicly announce their marriage on their social channels.
Perrie rose to fame after winning The X Factor in 2011 with the pop group, and they went on to have five UK number one singles and a UK number one album.
Jesy Nelson left the band in December 2020 – they continued to perform as a trio until they went on a hiatus in 2022 to focus on solo projects.
