Little Mix just got a little bigger as Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock are officially
new mums as it was just revealed that they both gave birth to their babies within a week
of each other!
Let’s get into it.
Fans have been eagerly waiting for the day both Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock
would welcome their new bundles of joy since announcing back in May that they would be
expecting their first babies with boyfriends Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Andre Gray respectively.
That day has FINALLY come as Perrie was first to share the news on Sunday morning with her
12 million plus Instagram followers in the form of a series of black and white photos
of her beautiful baby.
In the pictures we can see part of her baby’s face, as well as a little hand and cute
tiny foot.
Perrie accompanied the images with a caption that read, "Welcome to the world baby 21/08/21”,
yes in case some of you guys are wondering, in England the day comes before the month
when writing a date.
And for the time being Perrie chose not to disclose her baby’s sex nor their name but
as expected, her Little Mix sisters chimed in right away with Leigh-Anne Pinnock commenting:
"I am so proud of you and I love you so much 🥺 what an angel ❤️❤️😍😍”
and Jade Thirlwall followed suit writing, “😭♥️ Proud of you always.
Ly ✨”
Alex went ahead and shared another picture on his Instagram holding Perrie’s hand and
their baby’s little foot with the caption, "Welcome to the world little one 😍❤️
21/08/21."
And though the news came as a HUGE surprise to many of Perrie’s fans, some of them already
suspected she had gone into labor on Saturday.
It turns out that on Saturday Liverpool Football Club announced on their Twitter account that
Alex had pulled out of their game against Burnley due to quote, 'personal reasons’,
which led his and Perrie’s fans to believe it had to do with the birth of their first
baby.
Which is why this fan tweeted, “Alex had his kit ready to go... he really
had to go last minute 🥲 perrie hun if you're in labour, good luck, I hope all goes well
with delivery and that you and baby ox are healthy x”
This other Mixer wrote, “Praying for a safe birth if Perrie is in
labour, sending them lots of love❤️”
And finally this person said, “How mixers are spreading the news about
perrie and leigh anne being in labour😆”
Perrie and Alex have been romantically linked since late 2016 and they made their relationship
Instagram official in January 2017.
On May 10th Perrie surprised fans when she shared pictures of her growing baby bump with
a caption that read, “So happy to be on this wild journey with my soulmate Me + Him
= You 🌎♥️ We can’t wait to meet you baby Ox!”
As you guys know Perrie announced she was expecting her first child with Alex just days
after her bandmate Leigh-Anne Pinnock announced her own pregnancy news.
And not only did Leigh-Anne also share that she had given birth on August 16th, but we
got double the good news, as she revealed she and Andre welcomed TWO miracles earthside
with the sweetest photo of two sets of twinning toes!!!!
Leigh-Anne shared this sweet black-and-white photo to Instagram earlier this morning, writing,
“We asked for a miracle, we were given two...
Our Cubbies are here.
16/08/21.”
‘Leigh-Anne’ immediately began trending on Twitter as fans’ hearts were bursting
at the seams, sharing messages of love and congratulations.
Many were thrilled at the thought of not two, but THREE babies on tour, and my personal
favorite tweet, as this user pointed out, “in the end they all can hold one baby each
because Leigh-Anne has had twins so Jade can always hold one of them.”
Like Perrie, Leigh-Anne has yet to disclose the babies names or sex, but it’s likely
the new parents are soaking in every minute of privacy with their new additions.
But while that story unfolds, we wanna congratulate Perrie and Leigh-Anne on becoming parents
for the first time and we can’t wait to see more pictures of their babies if they
so choose to share them with the rest of the world...
