Little Mix star Perrie Edwards welcomed her adorable baby Axel with boyfriend Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain back in August 2021, and thankfully for all of us, she hasn't been shy with sharing the most adorable snaps of her baby boy since! From sweet holiday photos, to snaps of Axel rocking Little Mix merch, it's safe to say the family of three are absolutely adorable!

Now, the singer, who is now on a hiatus from Little Mix along with Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock, has been pictured alongside Alex and baby Axel as the family attended the Premier League match between Liverpool and Wolverhampton Wanderers on 22nd May - talk about cuteness overload!

Of course, fans couldn't hold back when it came to gushing over the new pictures, with one writing: 'Ahhh this is so adorable and wholesome I love it 🙌❤️' (sic), another commenting: 'Aww this is so cute x' (sic), and another saying: 'He’s so cute😭😭'.

Sharing some of the super cute pics to his Instagram, Alex simply captioned the post: '🧑🏾‍🦱👶🏽👩🏼'. In the second picture the footballer shared, Axel's football strip could be seen to say 'DADDY' on the back. Too cute!

It was just last month (April 2022) that Perrie took to her Instagram to melt all of our hearts with a series of photos of baby Axel attending a Little Mix concert. Of course, little Axel was decked out with matching merch to his mum, along with a pair of noise cancelling headphones.

Gushing over his 'first show', Perrie wrote: 'We were in matching Little Mix tracksuits but in true baby style he sh-t everywhere. But here we are! Watching his first ever show 🥺😍♥️' (sic).

Following their shows on the 'Confetti' Tour, Little Mix began their planned hiatus, with The Last Show (For Now) taking place at the O2 Arena in London on Saturday 14th May. Fans across the globe were able to stream the concert live, as we said an emotional goodbye for now to the 'Shoutout To My Ex' girls.

Since their final show, Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock have spoken out to thank their fans for the ongoing love and support they have received over the last 10 years.
