Perrie Edwards Details Two Miscarriages and Their Lasting Impact

A tearful podcast account shows how an early miscarriage followed by a 24-week loss changed her approach to later pregnancies.

Overview

  • Edwards spoke on Jamie Laing’s Great Company podcast on Wednesday, giving a first-person account of two pregnancy losses and breaking down in tears as she described the experience.
  • She said an early miscarriage before the birth of son Axel left her afraid to get attached during that pregnancy.
  • Edwards described losing a later pregnancy at about 24 weeks as 'traumatic,' saying the baby had been named and that she and partner Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain kept his ashes.
  • She said the 24-week loss made her reluctant to try again and altered the spacing and emotional experience of later pregnancies, including her pregnancy with daughter Alanis Valentine in January 2026.
  • Her disclosure has prompted wider public discussion about miscarriage, with coverage noting available support such as the Miscarriage Association and highlighting the emotional and practical consequences for families.
