Little Mix star Perrie Edwards shares sweet baby name along with adorable first pic

Little Mix star Perrie Edwards has shared the name of her baby son with footballer Alex Oxlaide-Chamberlain.

Perrie and Alex had announced the birth of their baby two weeks ago, after giving birth on August 21.

Alongside an adorable couple of pics of her newborn, the singer wrote on Instagram: "2 weeks of loving you. I’ve never felt love like this before! Axel Oxlade-Chamberlain."

Fans rushed to share their love of the name, which has delighted Little Mixers, with the post getting over 340,000 likes in the first 15 minutes after it was posted.

There was also a huge reaction to the first adorable look at Axel, with many heart emojis filling the comments.

In the couple of photos that Perrie posted, Axel can be seen swaddled in a white blanket with a pale blue woollen hat on his head, which boasted Mickey Mouse style ears.

Perrie’s Little Mix bandmates were among the first to congratulate the new parents after their initial announcement, with Leigh-Anne Pinnock writing: ‘I am so proud of you and I love you so much, what an angel.’

Leigh-Anne announced a couple of days afterwards that she had also give birth to twins with fiancé Andre Gray.

Eagle-eyed Little Mixers claim they were suspecting Leigh-Anne was expecting two tots after Perrie's mum posted a sweet tribute after her daughter's bandmate shared she was pregnant.

On May 4, Debbie re-posted a photo of Leigh-Anne's bump and tweeted: "Massive congratulations to Leigh Anne and Andre.. babies on tour xx can’t wait xx".

Due to Debbie using the word "babies" some fans wondered if Black Magic hitmaker Leigh-Anne was expecting more than one baby.

Leigh-Anne recently announced her happy news with an adorable black and white photo.

The offering showed her two babies' feet and the singer penned: "We asked for a miracle, we were given two... Our Cubbies are here 16/08/21."

Perrie replied: "Two bundles of absolute joy! I love you my Lee Lee!”
