But despite being in a relationship with Alex, also 30, for the past eight years, Perrie has never actually lived with him.

The singer makes the confession during this weekend's episode of The Jonathan Ross Show.

Alex is currently signed to Turkish football team Süper Lig club Beşiktaş, meaning he lives in Turkey - and Perrie finds it "hard".

She tells Jonathan: “I can’t lie, it is hard.

"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.

"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?”

The singer added: “We’ve never lived together anyway. The whole eight years we’ve been in a relationship we’ve never actually lived together.”

Perrie and Alex confirmed they were in a relationship in 2017 and they welcomed Axel into the world four years later.

The couple got engaged in 2022 but they are yet to confirm whether a date has been set for their wedding.

Despite living thousands of miles apart, Perrie says they rarely row.

She made the admission while talking to Jonathan about her solo music. Perrie has co-written a song with Brit Awards winner RAYE, which is about her relationship.

Perrie said: “Full disclosure, me and my partner don’t argue, we’re very laid back and very chilled.

"But at the same time, I can be a little bit of a petty b**** and I can’t help it.

I don’t know whether it’s my star sign - cancer. 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, I’m just like that but we just started writing a song about it and I just thought the lyrics were super relatable.”

Until now, Perrie was the only member of Little Mix to fully share her own solo music with fans.

But the Geordie's debut solo single Forget About Us is released on Friday (April 12) and it comes two years after the girl band split.

Jonathan will be seen asking Perrie if there is any chance of Little Mix reuniting during his ITV chat show.

Not ruling a reunion out, she replies: “I’d definitely never say never.

"We just love each other so much. We thought we’d been together for 12 years since we were babies and we just wanted to do our own thing and see what happens.
