Perrie and One Direction star Zayn Malik became the ultimate pop power couple in 2012 after meeting on The X Factor and igniting a whirlwind romance.
Their journey seemed like a dream come true until August 2013, when Zayn took their relationship to the next level by proposing, commemorating their love with a tattoo of Perrie on his arm.
The pair soon announced they planned to say “I do”, keeping fans on tenterhooks during their two-year engagement.
Unfortunately, the fairy tale took an unexpected turn in July 2015, when the couple shocked the world with news of their separation.

Perrie stunned fans worldwide by disclosing that Zayn had actually ended their relationship through a text message.
“It was horrible, the worst time in my life. A four-year relationship, two-year engagement ended by a simple text message. Just like that,” Perrie said in the group’s book, One World.
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.

Following her breakup with Zayn, Perrie found herself surrounded by dating rumours in 2015, with model Leon King being at the centre of speculations.
Perrie and Leon were seen walking arm-in-arm during a visit to London’s Winter Wonderland. “They looked very cosy as they walked around,” The Sun reported at the time.

The hunky model was also spotted keeping a close eye on the blonde as she filmed the video for her single Secret Love Song with her Little Mix bandmates.
However, their potential romance fizzled out when Leon posted peculiar tweets about Perrie’s ex, Zayn.

After embracing her newly single status, Perrie found herself romantically linked to Luke Pasqualino, a former actor from the TV series Skins, starting in August 2016.
Their public appearances were marked by an undeniable chemistry that drew widespread attention.
However, despite their undeniable appeal as a couple, they decided not to pursue a serious relationship due to the demanding nature of their respective work commitments.

Despite a rollercoaster of failed romances, it seems like Perrie has finally discovered her happily ever after with none other than football heartthrob Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
The sizzling duo reportedly kindled their flame in November 2016, but their love remained under wraps until early 2017, when they decided to make it official and share their bliss with the world.
Since then, Perrie and Alex have been inseparable, flooding social media with their swoon-worthy displays of affection.

The pop star has gone above and beyond to support her footballer beau, showing up in the stands and cheering him on at his thrilling matches.
He reciprocated the love by standing by Perrie’s side when the talented songstress and her Little Mix girls ruled the stage at the prestigious BRIT Awards in 2019.
The pair have since taken their love to the next level by getting engaged and welcomed baby Axel in 2021.
