A timeline of Perrie Edwards’ boyfriends through the years 💕

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! (OUCH).

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!

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.

After enjoying the single life, Perrie was linked to former Skins actor Luke Pasqualino between August-October 2016. Despite looking AMAZING together when they were spotted on a number of nights out, the pair decided not to make things serious due to their busy work schedules.

Despite a number of failed romances, it looks like Little Mix singer Perrie has finally found her Prince in the form of England footballer Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. The pair reportedly started dating in November 2016, but they didn't go public until early 2017. Ever since, Perrie and Alex have been TOTALLY loved-up on social media, with Perrie even being spotted supporting her beau at a number of his football games.

Alex showed just how much of a doting boyfriend he is when he supported Perrie and the rest of the Little Mix girls at the BRIT Awards in 2019. As well as posing for snaps on the red carpet, Alex sat next to Perrie on their table in the venue.

The pair's relationship has truly flourished since they went official in 2017, from having a baby together to getting engaged!Read up on Perrie Edwards and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's complete relationship timeline here!

Despite things going quiet between the two over the festive period, Perrie and Alex went Instagram official in January 2017, when Perrie uploaded this cute photo of Alex with their dogs at the dinner table.

Not long after the snap was uploaded, Little Mix singer Perrie swiftly deleted the photo from her account, leaving fans thinking the pair had split before they'd really got going. One fan tweeted, 'Perrie deleted the photo of her dogs and Alex from her Instagram :('. [sic]

Perrie played the role of a supportive girlfriend later on in the month, by watching Alex as his team Arsenal played in The FA Community Shield at Wembley Stadium.

The relationship seemed to seemed to be going from strength to strength until Alex transferred clubs from Arsenal to Liverpool in September 2017. Many fans feared the pair would break up and Perrie would get her heart broken again due to Alex's move North.

But it didn't ruin things for the pair, and their relationship stayed strong. Perrie was quick to shut that rumour down, saying, "I'm based in London, so I've got no plans to move up there. I don't think it will be difficult. It's going to be different, but that's not a problem. We'll be fine. I'm just really happy for him and very proud."
