Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is the footballer fiancé of Little Mix’s Perrie Edwards. But what’s his age, his net worth and which football team does he play for?
As well as being a British premier league footballer player, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is Little Mix star Perrie Edwards' fiancé after he popped the question in 2022.
Perrie and Alex, both 30 years old, welcomed their first child together, Axel Oxlade-Chamberlain, on August 21st 2021.
The new family-of-three live together in a stunning house in London and often post loved-up selfies together and TikToks. Here are the answers to all your burning questions about Alex, from his job, to his age, to his relationship with the famous Mixer...
Born 15 August 1993, Alex is 30 years old, the same age as Perrie!
Alex's estimated net worth sits a pretty heft sum of £13.1million, although these reports online are unconfirmed. Playing as a midfielder for Besiktas JK, Alex apparently earns £65,000 per week according to Salary Sport. His career in Turkey means he spends a lot of time apart from fiancée Perrie and their son Axel, but Perrie said they're used to the challenge having always been long-distance since they met.
Prior to playing in Turkey, he played for Liverpool FC up until 2022 and before that he played for Arsenal from 2011 to 2017.
Alex plays as a midfielder for the Premier League club, Liverpool. In 2017, he signed a lucrative deal with the club that earned him £35 million!
Alex suffered multiple injuries to his knee and hamstring in a collision with Alexsandar Kolarov in Liverpool’s Champions League semi-final in 2018.
Perrie & Alex In The Sun On Instagram Stories
Alex and Perrie have been dating since 2016 and seem more in love than ever as they grow their family. The pair live together with their 3-year-old son Axel, and after a flurry of engagement rumours, Alex officially popped the question in the summer of 2022.
Perrie opened up about their wedding plans last year, saying: “There’s so much going on right now, I’m in the studio, whilst also having my fiancée being like, ‘When are we going to start planning the wedding?’
“Again, it’s like starting the business! Where do you even start with a wedding? It’s a lot. We spoke about it whilst we were on holiday, and I’ve got a really good idea of what I want now."
Yes he does, he has a younger brother called Christian Benjamin Oxlade-Chamberlain. Christian is also a professional footballer and he plays as a defender for Kidderminster Harriers.
Brothers Alex and Christian come from football legacy as their father, Mark Chamberlain, played for Exeter City, Port Vale, Stoke City, Sheffield Wednesday, Portsmouth and Brighton.
Their uncle Neville was also a professional footballer, so sportsmanship truly runs in the family's blood. Watch out for little Axel, we're sure he's another football star in the making!
