Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards and her partner, Liverpool soccer star Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, welcomed their first child on Saturday, August 21, according to a photo the singer shared on Instagram.

The British pop star and her footballer beau, both 28, posted black-and-white photos of their newborn to Instagram early Sunday morning. They did not reveal a name or gender at the time of writing.

Sharing images with her more than 12.7 million followers, she captioned a slideshow, "Welcome to the world baby 21/08/21 ♥️."

Edwards first announced her pregnancy in May, less than a week after her fellow Little Mix singer Leigh-Anne Pinnock announced the news she is expecting her first child with her fiancé, Andre Gray.

Edwards and Oxlade-Chamberlain have been romantically tied since November 2016, according to Cosmopolitan, which first linked the couple prior to their Instagram-official status in January 2017.

Edward's band, Little Mix, skyrocketed to fame in 2011 after the group won "The X Factor," a popular UK talent competition.

From there, Little Mix has gone on to become one of England's most prominent girl bands, boasting five number one hits and a number one album in the UK, according to CNN.
