Perrie Edward s has opened up about being a mum – and her words might just be the sweetest thing you read today. The former Little Mix star, who welcomed her son Axel with fiance Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in 2021, said: “He is the best thing that ever happened to me. He gives me so much inspiration.

“When I had Axel, I learned a lot about not sweating the small stuff. A lot of things used to really get to me, used to make me feel so uncomfortable. “I am not really good at handling confrontation – anything like that would usually kind of overwhelm me.

“But when I had Axel, I thought, ‘None of them things matter. I can handle that. I’ve just birthed a human’.

“I felt powerful. I was, like let someone try me..

. I think I’m ready now’. “He gave me this confidence I didn’t know I ever had.

And then I felt protective of him so then I became the protector. “And then I thought, ‘Right, if I can do this for him, I can do it for myself’. And it just kind of changed me in a good way.

I’d say for the better.” Speaking on Sirius FM in the US, Perrie added: “He’s the best thing to ever happen to me. “I will be in the garden and he’ll turn around to me and go, ‘Mama’.

And then sometimes I get taken aback and I’m like, ‘I am a mama’. “And still, to this day, even though he’s like three, I’m like, ‘I’m a mummy. I made you!’ It’s crazy because I’m obsessed with him.

Love, love him.” Read More Read More.
