Perrie Edwards' partner Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has uploaded several sweet snaps of the pair's newborn baby.

The Liverpool footballer, 28, and his Little Mix partner welcomed son Axel to the world on August 21 and have previously shared a selection of adorable images of the tot.

They couple became parents earlier than expected after Perrie went into labour just one day after they completed their little boy's nursery.

Now, Alex has shared a few more priceless black-and-white images of himself and baby Axel with his 4.9 million Instagram followers.

In one of the arty uploads, the sportsman is seen kissing his newborn gently on his forehead while he cradles him in his arms.

In the other, the new dad lovingly holds his child in his arms while he beams a huge smile in his direction.

Both snaps see Alex pose topless as continues to bond with the youngster through skin-to-skin contact.

New mum Perrie was among the thousands of followers to fawn over the images. She wrote in the comments section: "My boys," and included a heart emoji.

Perrie's bandmate Leigh-Anne Pinnock also commented using love heart-eyes emojis and a heart emoji.

And several of Alex's footballing family also posted comments, including England captain Jordan Henderson, England teammates Jadon Sancho and Tammy Abraham, and Scotland captain Andy Robertson.

One fan summed it up perfectly, writing: "The best goal you’ve ever scored."

The photos came after Perrie and Alex celebrated a date night together.

The Little Mix singer looked incredible as she stepped out in a black blazer, dress and ankle boots. Her long blonde hair looked immaculate and her makeup was expertly applied.

She shared the images on her social media and captioned the snap "Date night for Mam and Dad" as she posed next to the couple's elegant staircase.

Alex also cut a happy figure as he donned trainers, jeans and a striped shirt for the couple's alone time.

Perrie has been able to share the post-pregnancy journey with bandmate Leigh-Anne who also gave birth to twins in the same month.

However, the pair's former bandmate Jesy has seemingly distanced herself from the pair and admitted that she hasn't seen their children and it doesn't look like she intends to any time soon.

The remaining members of the band, including Jade Thirlwall, recently unfollowed Jesy too on Instagram showing that the former bandmates' relationship certainly appears to have soured since Jesy quit in December.
