Edwards and Oxlade-Chamberlain began dating in February 2017, two years after the songstress split from One Direction boybander Zayn Malik.

Oxlade-Chamberlain took to his own Instagram to announce the happy news, sharing the same images of Edwards' baby bump and the beaming couple.

"Anyone got any advice on how to change nappies? 😅 so grateful and excited to become a dad ❤️ bring on the sleepless nights 🤪", the Liverpool F.C. midfielder wrote in the caption.

While a due date has not been disclosed, it is likely that Edwards is past the three-month mark, which could mean the new bub could be greeting the world in October or November.
