Little Mix’s Perrie Edwards introduced her baby daughter, Alanis Valentine, to the world via a heartfelt Instagram post on Saturday. The black-and-white image depicts the newborn resting on Edwards’ chest, with both their hands gently placed on the baby’s back—a tender display of familial connection. The singer simply captioned the post with her daughter’s name, followed by a red heart emoji.
A Journey to Parenthood
The arrival of Alanis marks a new chapter for Edwards and footballer Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who are already parents to four-year-old Axel. The singer announced her pregnancy in September with a creative reveal, showcasing a crop top that playfully declared “if he wanted to he would” on the back, flipping to “and he did” with her baby bump front and center, alongside her partner and son.
The timing of Alanis’s birth coincides with a busy period for Edwards, who released her self-titled debut solo album in September 2025. “Yes! I have the birth of my album and the birth of my child coming and I can’t believe it’s all fallen at the same time. It’s wild,” she told Women in Pop. “Obviously it wasn’t planned, but I feel like it’s worked out to be good… I’m excited, I love a challenge!”
Support and Candidness
The announcement was met with an outpouring of congratulations from fans and fellow musicians alike. Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Edwards’ Little Mix co-star, commented, “Perfect little angel,” while Jade Thirwall added, “So happy for you all, can’t wait to meet her.” Pixie Lott also shared her excitement, writing, “congratulations so beautiful!!!”
Fans also expressed their delight with the baby’s name, with one user writing, “oh my goodness what a beautiful name,” and another praising it as “how perfect.”
What is the significance of the name Alanis?
Perrie Edwards’ daughter’s name, Alanis, is a nod to the singer’s musical inspiration, Alanis Morissette, whose song “You Oughta Know” was performed during Edwards’ 2011 audition on The X Factor, leading to the formation of Little Mix.
The news comes after Edwards bravely shared her experiences with two miscarriages in August, receiving widespread support. She described one experience as the “worst day of my life” during an interview on the We Need to Talk podcast, revealing that Axel was a “rainbow baby.” Her second miscarriage occurred at 22 weeks, just over a year after Axel’s birth.
“I’ve never experienced an out-of-body experience where everything goes in slow motion,” she recalled during the emotional conversation.
