Former Arsenal and Liverpool midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has officially married Little Mix pop sensation Perrie Edwards in a lavish wedding ceremony that captured the attention of both football and entertainment fans. The longtime couple, together since 2016, celebrated their union surrounded by loved ones and several prominent names from the football community.

A gathering of football stars

The event featured a strong football presence, with several of Oxlade-Chamberlain’s former teammates attending the celebrations. Manchester United midfielder Mason Mount and Brighton striker Danny Welbeck were among the notable guests. Both have shared the pitch with Oxlade-Chamberlain during his time in the Premier League and with the England national team.

The occasion also acted as a reunion for many football figures, demonstrating that “The Ox” — now playing for Scottish giants Celtic — remains a well-liked personality among his peers despite his recent spell in Turkey. The attendance of Mount and Welbeck underscored the lasting friendships Oxlade-Chamberlain has built during his successful stints at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium and Liverpool’s Anfield.

A love story years in the making

Oxlade-Chamberlain and Edwards have been one of the UK’s most prominent celebrity couples since going public with their relationship nearly eight years ago. Their journey — from dating to engagement in 2022 — has been closely followed by fans from both sports and music circles, culminating now in their marriage.

The couple shared their joy online, with Edwards posting photographs capturing their emotional and elegant wedding day. The images showcased the beauty of the ceremony and the couple’s happiness as they embarked on this new chapter of life, accompanied by their young son, Axel.

The mystery of the missing necklace

As one of Britain’s most stylish pop stars, Edwards’ wedding look became a major highlight in her exclusive conversation with British Vogue. She spoke about the intricate details of her bridal attire and the event’s atmosphere, which combined luxury with intimate touches. “The best day of my life,” Edwards said multiple times during the interview, emphasising that despite all her professional achievements, this moment remains her most treasured.

The singer, who wore three white dresses during the celebration, also revealed a small mishap that troubled her before the big day. “Alex gave me a diamond necklace after I gave birth to Axel, and I wear it every single day. But the day before I left for Portugal, it went missing. I cried all day, and we searched everywhere — we even checked the vacuum cleaner — but it was gone. I was convinced someone had stolen it,” she shared.

Balancing football success with family life

While the wedding was the highlight off the pitch, Oxlade-Chamberlain continues to make an impact on it. The Celtic midfielder has impressed in crucial domestic fixtures, reminding fans of his enduring skill and experience. He recently added a Scottish Premiership title to his achievements following a thrilling conclusion to the 2025–26 season. His current contract includes an option for a 12-month extension, allowing him to continue his successful spell in Glasgow. New wife Perrie, along with their son Axel and daughter Alanis Valentine, will be hoping for more happy moments as they begin this exciting new phase together.
