Perrie has been dating sports star Alex since November 2016 and while the duo remained coy about their romance at first, they are now often seen documenting their relationship on social media.

So much so, that Perrie, who was previously engaged to Zayn Malik before he called off their four year relationship in 2015, was seen pining after her man while away touring with Little Mix. 

Alongside a picture of herself and Alex kissing, she penned: 'Apologies for this extra af (as f**k), cheese on toast post.... But s**t I miss him toooo much! @alexoxchamberlain.'

She also declared her love for Alex on his 24th birthday, while sharing a sweet snap of him smiling in bed.

Perrie wrote: 'Happy birthday my love. 24! If I can wake up to this for the rest of my life that would be wonderful!'

Since then their relationship has only gone from strength to strength, but the couple were forced to take their love affair long-distance, as Alex has recently moved football clubs to Liverpool FC and relocated to the city.

Not fazed by the change, however, Perrie has insisted she is 'very proud' of her boyfriend.

Pining: She recently shared a shot of her and Alex kissing and  penned: 'Apologies for this extra af (as f**k), cheese on toast post.... But s**t I miss him toooo much! @alexoxchamberlain.

'It's going to be different': Perrie said of Alex's move to Liverpool that it wouldn't be a 'problem' for their relationship

She told The Mirror: 'I don’t think it will be difficult. It’s going to be different – but that’s not a problem. We’ll be fine. I’m just really happy for him and very proud.' 

The candid confession comes after worried fans speculated that they had split after spotting their silence on social media.

The normally active couple have refrained from posting any loved-up snaps together for several weeks - amid reports their romance is under strain following footballer Alex's £35million move to Liverpool FC this week.

The Touch hitmaker has also been targeted by cruel trolls who branded her a 'f**king b***h' and claimed she 'persuaded' him to move to the city. 

'Proud': She told The Mirror: 'I don’t think it will be difficult. It’s going to be different – but that’s not a problem. We’ll be fine. I’m just really happy for him and very proud'
