Perrie Edwards sparks rumours she is engaged to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain after talking about taking his last name

Perrie Edwards has sparked engagement rumours after joking about taking her footballer boyfriend’s last name.

The Little Mix star, 26, was celebrating Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s goal for Liverpool against Belgian club Genk on Tuesday when she spelt his name wrong.

In a post to her Instagram page, Edwards wrote: “You to me are everything, my Alex Oxlade-Chamberlaine, oh baby oh babehh!”

A follower then pointed out that she spelt his name wrong, as did the midfielde​r, which she revealed in series of screenshots on her story.

Oxlade-Chamberlain, 26, said: “Looool. Also I cannot believe you spelt my name wrong on your story.”

Edwards responded: “I hate myself.

Getting hitched? The couple sparked rumours they could walk down the aisle soon (@Perrieedwards)

“It’ll be way easier to spell when it’s my second name and I have to write it all the time!”

The couple have been dating since 2017 after Edwards posted a photograph of them kissing in front of the Eiffel Tower on Instagram.

Edwards was previously engaged to her ex-boyfriend Zayn Malik for two years but the couple broke up in 2015.

They had been together since Little Mix competed on the X Factor in 2011.
