Little Mix fans are convinced Perrie Edwards is in labour after her boyfriend Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain missed the Liverpool v Burnley football match on Saturday (August 21).
The star is expecting her first baby with her footballer boyfriend, who was left off of Liverpool’s team at the last minute because of “personal reasons”.
It led Little Mix fans to think that Perrie, 28, and Alex, 28, might be about to become parents sooner than they thought.
This week, Perrie has been sharing a number of images of herself heavily pregnant, with stunning shots seeing her cradling her baby bump.
And now, fans have been speculating the baby is on its way.
One person wrote on Twitter: “Oxlade-Chamberlain out of the Liverpool match for personal reasons, Perrie Edwards is having her baby lads ya heard it here first.”
A second wondered: “Urm Alex isn’t in the squad, does that mean… baby Ox?”
While many others wished Perrie well if she really was in labour.
The former X Factor winner had hinted that she would be giving birth “soon”, but hadn’t given fans a more solid due date.
Earlier this week, Perrie shared two naked images to showcase her bump, and wrote in the caption: “Baby Ox… soon…”
The first picture saw her with her head back, as she was covered in dripping gold paint.
In the second, she glanced at the camera as she posed in a luscious green field with some sheer fabric draped over her face.
Bandmate Jade Thirlwall left a string of heart emojis in the comment section, while Leigh-Anne Pinnock wrote: “Baby muma.”
She shared some other pregnancy photos too, including one looking serene as she floated in a pool of water.
The blonde beauty wrote in the caption: “Words cannot describe how I’m feeling on the inside… I could quite literally burst with joy.”
Perrie and Alex announced in May that they were expecting a baby, not long after her bandmate Leigh-Anne and her fiancé Andre Gray announced their own pregnancy.
Leigh-Anne previously suggested that she would have a summer baby, as she wrote on Instagram in June about her child: “We get to meet you soon.”
Whatever happens though, Perrie and Leigh-Anne’s babies are going to have automatic best friends in each other, just like their parents.
