A timeline of Perrie Edwards' boyfriends through the years 💕
She's now smitten with her footballer fiancé
Thanks to her success in girl group Little Mix and her recent solo releases, South Shields-born singer Perrie Edwards is one of the UK's biggest pop stars! Although she's now loved-up with footballer Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, you could say the 'Shout Out To My Ex' singer didn't have the easiest of rides in her early love life.
Starting with a teenage romance that flourished into a shock engagement with former One Direction singer Zayn Malik, Perrie has had to kiss a few frogs to find her Prince, who she now shares her beautiful son Axel with. Here's Perrie's relationship history.
Who has Perrie Edwards dated?
2012: Zayn Malik
Perrie and Zayn were the pop super-couple when they started dating in 2012! Things were going amazing for the pair when Zayn popped the question in August 2013, with the former One Direction singer even getting a tattoo of Perrie on his arm.
However, the fairy-tale ended when the couple announced their split in July 2015, with Perrie revealing he actually dumped her by text! Getting over her broken heart, Perrie and her Little Mix band mates, Jade Thirlwall, Jesy Nelson and Leigh-Anne Pinnock, got together and wrote the now famous track 'Shout Out To My Ex', with many fans thinking the song was aimed at Zayn. With the lyrics: 'Shout out to my ex, you're really quite the man / You made my heart break and that made me who I am', we understand why!
2015: Leon King
Getting over Zayn, Perrie was rumoured to be dating model Leon King in 2015. The pair were spotted looking cosy as they walked London's Winter Wonderland arm in arm. But the romance went no further when Leon shared some very odd tweets about Perrie's ex Zayn.
2016: Luke Pasqualino
After enjoying the single life, Perrie was linked to former Our Girl and Skins actor Luke Pasqualino between August-October 2016. Despite being spotted on a number of nights out, the pair decided not to make things serious due to their busy work schedules.
2016-present: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
It looks like Perrie has finally found her Prince in the form of professional footballer Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. The pair reportedly started dating in November 2016, but they didn't go public until early 2017. Perrie and Alex are now engaged and proud parents to their son Axel! The pair announced in September 2025 that they have another baby on the way.

Perrie's other half is footballer Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and the couple are super loved-up. They've been together since late 2016 and got engaged in June 2022. The pair share their son Axel together and have another baby on the way!
