Former Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards admitted that wedding planning is like starting a business as she prepared for her nuptials with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Perrie, who formed Little Mix on X Factor with Jesy Nelso n, Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock, is currently engaged to Liverpool FC Midfielder Alex.
The couple got engaged last June after six years together and 10 months after welcoming their first son, baby Axel.
While an official date is yet to be revealed, Alex and Perrie have begun to plan their big day after Perrie reunited with her bandmate Jade last month during a trip to Los Angeles, California.
Speaking to Grazia, the Wings singer admitted that there is “so much going on right now” as she plots her solo career and juggles running her fashion brand with family life.
She said: “[Wedding planning] it’s like starting the business! Where do you even start with a wedding? It’s a lot. We spoke about it whilst we were on holiday, and I’ve got a really good idea of what I want now.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Perrie teased her eager fans with an update on upcoming new music.
“My label have told me to just go with the flow and enjoy discovering what my sound is going to be. The fact there’s no deadline in my life just makes me the happiest person. I feel so lucky to just be having fun,” she said.
“I don’t have a set timeline,” she added.
Perrie's beau Alex first came across her girl band back in a 2015 interview with BT Sport, though Perrie wasn’t even there and Jesy seemingly attempted to set him up with Jade.
When presenter Helen Skelton asked whether Alex could catch a ball flying their way, Jesy jumped in: "Jade needs protecting. Jade's very diddy, and she's single, as well."
At the time, Perrie was engaged to former One Direction singer Zayn Malik, who now has a child with model Gigi Hadid.
Perrie split from Zayne later that year and in 2016, was pictured at a football game with Alex, though they did not confirm the relationship until 2017.
The couple made their red carpet debut in 2019 when Perrie won a Brit Award for Woman Like Me.
"What a night! So proud of you and what you continue to achieve, picking up your second BRIT award! @perrieedwards,” Alex wrote on Instagram at the time.
They later adopted a puppy together, named Travis, and locked down together during the pandemic when Alex gushed about his future wife.
"She's proper house wifey," he said. "She's been cleaning up, cooking every day, meals have been unbelievable. She doesn't get annoyed with me playing the Playstation. She's top, I love her!"
He also shared that the couple made Little Mix's Break Up Song their quarantine anthem, which he called "a bop," saying it "gets played about 800 times in this house every day at the minute."
They announced Perrie's pregnancy in May 2021 and she gave birth in August.
