“Monsters, Inc. 3” is reportedly in the works at Pixar. Here's everything we know about Mike and Sully's return.
Perrie Edwards says she was “traumatized” after suffering multiple miscarriages with her fiancé.
The 32-year-old singer, who is one of four Little Mix members who won The X Factor UK in 2011, shared the traumatic news during the Aug. 19 episode of the “We Need to Talk” podcast.
While talking to host Paul C. Brunson, Edwards revealed that she first suffered a miscarriage before welcoming her rainbow baby in 2021.

“It was so early, I remember finding out I was pregnant, obviously I started bleeding not long after,” she said during the podcast.
It wasn’t until she underwent a scan at the doctors shortly after that she was told, “There is no baby.”
Edwards, who launched her solo career in 2024, went on to welcome her son — a rainbow baby — in 2021 with then-boyfriend and professional footballer Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Edwards and Oxlade-Chamberlain started dating in 2017 and announced their engagement in 2024, according to People.
In the podcast, she described welcoming her first child as “one of the happiest moments of my life.”
While she says her first miscarriage wasn’t that traumatizing and “didn’t impact me that much,” things changed in 2022 during her third pregnancy.
Edwards recalled learning she was pregnant while rehearsing for “The Confetti Tour” with her Little Mix bandmates less than one year after welcoming her son.
“I was at rehearsals and I thought, ‘Oh, I don’t feel good.’ Every symptom under the sun. I was like, ‘I think I’m pregnant,’” she said on the podcast.
She decided to keep the pregnancy under wraps and continued to perform until the tour’s conclusion — which ended in May 2022, per Sony Music.
“I remember being on tour and every night before a show, I kept bleeding — heavily bleeding. I remember sitting [and] thinking, ‘This is it, I’ve lost the baby. It’s happening,'” Edwards explained.
Perrie Edwards said everything seemed fine until her 24-week check-in
The singer immediately went to her doctor the following day to make sure everything was okay.
While they discovered a blood clot around the sac, she was comforted by the fact that her baby was still there — something she described as a “miracle.”
According to the Cleveland Clinic, the most common signs of a miscarriage include bleeding that grows worse over time, cramps, abdominal pain, lower back aches and a decrease in pregnancy symptoms.
For Edwards, she said everything was fine at her 12-week scan, but everything changed 12 weeks later.
During a routine appointment, she started to feel as if something wasn’t right as her doctor performed an ultrasound. Her doctor then shared the heartbreaking news.
“I don’t remember what he said,” she recalled, describing the moment as an “out of body experience” as time went slow.
“That was just the worst day of my life,” she continued. “Like horrendous … I remember sobbing.”
“I was just traumatized,” she explained. “I think when you’re fully carrying and you’re 24 weeks and you’ve planned out like their room and all these things, it’s really hard.”
When her friends would reach out to check on the baby, she reluctantly responded, “There isn’t one.”
Despite the tragedy, Edwards said she found comfort in a quote fellow musician Myleene Klass once said, which explained how “the baby stays with you” even after a miscarriage.
"I was like, 'Oh wow, that's so magical'," she said of Klass’s quote. "If I'm blessed enough to have another baby in the future, it makes me feel that they're still a part of it in some way."
