The wait is finally over. Perrie Edwards has shared the first official photo of her newborn daughter — and the breathtaking portrait, taken alongside fiancé Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, has sent a tidal wave of emotion across the internet and left the nation in tears.
Posted to Perrie’s Instagram on January 23, 2026, the black-and-white image shows the former Little Mix star cradling her baby girl in her arms while Alex gently kisses the top of the infant’s head. The newborn’s tiny face — delicate features, soft wisps of hair, and peaceful expression — is framed perfectly in the soft light. The caption read simply: “Our little miracle. Welcome to the world, Arabella Grace Edwards-Oxlade-Chamberlain. We love you more than words.”
The name itself — Arabella Grace — has become the beating heart of the conversation. Fans and royal watchers immediately noticed the deep family resonance. “Arabella” is a direct tribute to Perrie’s late grandmother, Arabella Edwards, who raised Perrie’s mother Debbie in South Shields and was a constant source of love and strength during Perrie’s childhood. Debbie has spoken in past interviews about how her mother’s name meant “yielding to prayer” — a meaning Perrie reportedly whispered to her inner circle months ago during pregnancy. “Arabella was everything to me growing up,” Perrie told close friends. “She was my safe place. Naming my daughter after her feels like bringing a piece of her back.”
“Grace” carries double significance: it honours Alex’s grandmother Grace Oxlade-Chamberlain, a beloved matriarch in his family, and echoes Perrie’s own middle name (her full name is Perrie Louise Edwards). The double-barrelled surname “Edwards-Oxlade-Chamberlain” is a modern, equal nod to both parents’ lineages — a quiet but powerful statement of partnership and shared legacy.
The photo’s release was meticulously timed — exactly one month after the baby’s birth on December 23, 2025 — giving Perrie and Alex space to bond privately before sharing with the world. The image has already been liked over 12 million times and shared widely, with comments flooding in: “That little face is perfection,” “The name is so beautiful and meaningful,” “Perrie looks like she’s glowing — pure love.”
Little Mix bandmates Jade Thirlwall, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and Jesy Nelson were among the first to comment, with Jade writing “My beautiful niece 💕” and Leigh-Anne adding “She’s already stealing hearts.” Alex’s former Arsenal and England teammates also sent congratulations, with several posting the photo on their stories.
The couple had kept the pregnancy relatively private, announcing it in June 2025 with a simple black-and-white ultrasound image captioned “Our little secret is out.” Perrie later revealed the pregnancy had been challenging due to hyperemesis gravidarum (severe morning sickness), but she described the birth as “the most magical moment of my life.”
For Perrie — who has always worn her heart on her sleeve through music and motherhood — this photo feels like a new chapter. The name Arabella Grace is not just beautiful; it’s a spiritual bridge between past and future, honouring two grandmothers who shaped both parents.
Fans have called it “the most perfect name reveal” and “a love letter to family legacy.” The image — soft, intimate, timeless — has reminded millions why Perrie’s authenticity resonates so deeply.
The Edwards-Oxlade-Chamberlain family is complete. A little girl with a name full of meaning has arrived. And in one breathtaking photo, Perrie and Alex have given the world something rare in celebrity life: genuine, quiet joy.
Congratulations to Perrie, Alex, Arabella Grace — and to every family that finds strength in legacy and love.
