Perrie Edwards finds Christmas more “magical” as a parent.
Perrie Edwards loves Christmas with her young son
The former Little Mix singer was always “obsessed” with the festive period but she enjoys nothing more now than seeing how “excited” three-year-old Axel – who she has with fiancé Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain – gets over the holidays.
Asked how Christmas has changed since having her son, she told BANG Showbiz: “I feel like I've always been obsessed with it but now more than ever, it's more magical, he just gets so excited and I love watching him get excited so I'm living vicariously with him, I just love it, it's so nice.”
This year, Perrie is planning a fairly simple celebration.
She said: “Just staying at home with the family, nice cosy vibes, cooking dinner.”
The ‘You Go Your Way’ hitmaker praised her former bandmate Leigh-Anne Pinnock for her role in ‘Boxing Day’ but admitted her favourite Christmas movie will always be ‘The Holiday’.
She said: “First of all, my Leigh-Leigh killed it [in ‘Boxing Day’], first time acting as well but I love 'The Holiday', that's when I'm ready, I'm putting that on."
The 31-year-old beauty occasionally gets Axel involved in her social media posts but admitted it isn’t as straightforward as she expected when it comes to persuading him to pose.
She laughed: “Working with a three year old it's not easy, I thought it would be like 'Can you do this, or that', 'Can you look out the window?' And he was like 'Why?' And I was like, 'That's a good point - why?' So I found it hard to explain to him.
“But Alex was up for it, anything to support the family - minus wearing pyjamas.”
