Little Mix star Perrie Edwards 'not putting pressure on herself' after welcoming baby boy

South Shields -born singer Perrie Edwards has been sharing her recent holiday pics, and they suggest her hard work to get back to her best is paying off.

As reported by OK!, the Little Mix star shared a series of "stunning" bikini pictures on Instagram, taken during a recent trip to Dubai with her long-term partner, Liverpool FC midfielder Alex Oxlade Chamberlain (28) and their six-month old son, Axel.

Pals close to the singer have reportedly revealed Perrie has "never felt better." They said: "Perrie is feeling so happy and healthy. She’s in a great place. She’s been enjoying working out, but she isn’t putting loads of pressure on herself. And it’s obviously paying off.”

It comes after Perrie revealed she was being put through her paces by her personal trainer Danielle Peazer last week.

When Danielle referred to their session as a “little workout” on social media, Perrie responded with, “LITTLE workout session?! HUN. You killed us.”

In another Instagram post, which she captioned “No pain no gain,” the Little Mix singer could be seen lying on the floor looking utterly exhausted. But she also admitted: “I love nothing more than this feeling!”

Dancer Danielle, who used to date Liam Payne, has previously opened up to us about the kind of workouts she does with Perrie, 28.

She said that in the past they had “focused on full body work” and that even though the star had “a few moans” at first, she ended up being really “motivated” and “positive”.

Danielle previously explained: “We did quite a lot of abs and lower body work - she said she enjoys that the most.

"So I had her doing a plank for two minutes, which is a very long time for anyone.”

While she’s experienced the joy of motherhood, it’s fair to say that Perrie has had a few bumps in the road, too.

The drama and negative publicity surrounding her former bandmate Jesy Nelson’s departure from the band and the ensuing "blackfishing" row cast a bit of a shadow over her first few weeks as a mum.

And Little Mix’s announcement that they’re “taking a break” in December also caused some upheaval.

But according to OK!'s source, Perrie has finally put all of the stress behind her.

They said: “She’s extremely happy with Alex and she’s besotted with little Axel. She is more confident and happier than ever.”
