LITTLE Mix star Perrie Edwards opens up about her long-distance relationship, saying: “We make it work for the ones we love.”
The singer (30) is engaged to former Liverpool footballer Alex OxladeChamberlain, who now plays in
Turkey, more than
4,000km from their home in England.
But, she explains, the couple have had separate houses for much of their eightyear relationship.
And Perrie says midfielder Alex
(30) built a studio for her in their home so she could juggle raising their two-year-old son
Axel with recording her solo material.
She says: “When he was playing for Liverpool and based in Manchester, it was so easy to do the back and forth but Turkey is a little bit further and he doesn’t get a lot of time off.
Solo
“I’m trying to launch a solo career whilst having a two-year-old so it is a lot to juggle but we make it work for the ones we love, don’t we?
“We’ve never lived together – the eight years we’ve been in a relationship, we’ve never actually lived together.”
Maybe absence makes the heart grow fonder – Perrie says she and Alex never row. “We’re very laid back and very chilled,” she says on tomorrow night’s Jonathan Ross Show: “But at the same time, I can be a little bit of a petty b***h.
Grudge
“I’m very stubborn, I’m very emotional but not in the best way.
“I will hold a grudge for anything he might say. I just can’t help the way I am.”
In a separate interview for Rollacoaster magazine’s Spring/Summer issue, Perrie reveals she has penned love songs about both Alex and Axel.
Perrie has worked with Ed Sheeran and Raye on her new album, which is out today.
She has also written tracks about her anxiety, after she opened up about an 18-month battle with panic attacks that were so severe she experienced a heart attack.
