The couple, both 23, have tried to keep their romance away from the spotlight since our story in November.
However, shortly before posting the picture on Tuesday an eagle-eyed fan snapped them sitting in a cafe in Hadley Wood, North London, on Monday afternoon.

They were snapped deep in thought while eating with bottles of water either side.

A source said: “Perrie wants to keep her lovelife private and also doesn’t want to be regarded as a stereotypical football WAG.

“It’s early days and they’re still getting to know each other so it’s unlikely her stance will change.

“Alex fully supports her as he too wants to be known as a footballer, not dating a pop star.”

Perrie was spotted in the Arsenal club shop buying memorabilia and kits for her family before heading up to the Gunners’ star’s private box in November.

She’s been a regular visiter to the Emirates since they started dating and met several members of his family, including his dad Mark, 55, who is an ex-England international.

The pair also enjoyed a romantic break in Paris with Perrie’s Little Mix band-mate Jesy Nelson, 25, and Alex’s pal Bradley Church last month.
