The pop star confirmed her relationship with the footballer in 2016 by posting a photo them sitting at the kitchen table beside their pet dogs. She, however, deleted the photo, giving rise to speculations that they have split. Months later, Edwards silenced the rumours by posting a photo of them kissing with a stunning view of the Eiffel Tower behind them. They made their first public appearance together the same month at the BRITs. The couple started living together the following year.
Meanwhile, Edwards’ announcement of the childbirth comes a week after fellow Little Mix member Leigh-Anne Pinnock shared her own pregnancy news saying that she’s expecting her first child with Andre Gray. The 29-year-old posted images from her maternity photoshoot on social media.
