Little Mix's Perrie dating Arsenal's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

It looks like Perrie Edwards has “officially” moved on from her ex Zayn Malik and is dating premiere league hottie Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

The 23-year-old pop star and the Arsenal player, also 23, are said to be the talk of the locker room as their burgeoning romance has gone from strength to strength in recent weeks.

Perrie ended her brief fling with actor Luke Pasqualino recently but it seems she’s chosen well in Alex and his pals say he is the “nice guy of the team”.

A source told The Sun newspaper: “It’s definitely official, the pair are the talk of the locker room since Perrie came to a game back in early November.

“Alex wanted to keep on the down-low as he isn’t one for showbiz parties or being in the public eye. It’s very early days but Alex is very keen on Perrie – and he is known as the nice guy of the team – very different from her usual types.”

You’d be forgiven for not immediatly recognising Alex unless you’re a footy fan but just five, well-spent, minutes on the hunk’s Instagram page tells us he is hot property.

Another source added: “There’s certainly some chemistry there and they’ve enjoyed spending time together.

“Both are keen to keep the relationship on the down low, they don’t follow each other on social media as they know a connection might give the game away.”

Perrie enjoyed four years with former One Direction star Zayn Malik before he shockingly dumped her by text message and though we’re glad to hear she is moving on, it seems she hasn’t gotten over the sting of that break-up.

Earlier this week, the ‘Shot Out To My Ex’ singer slapped a French radio DJ on the cheek who admitted to her he also dumped his girlfriend by text.

Let’s hope Alex has a clean break-up record.
