Little Mix singer Jade Thirlwall is yet to enjoy all those newborn cuddles with Perrie Edwards’ baby boy Axel, as she hasn’t met the little one yet.
It was quite a busy summer for Little Mix with Perrie giving birth to her first child with boyfriend Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain on August 21, and Leigh-Anne Pinnock welcoming twins with fiance Andre Gray on August 16.
With the popstars becoming mums for the first time, Jade has wanted to give the pair time to adjust to motherhood.
Speaking on Jessie Ware’s Table Manners podcast, the 28-year-old revealed: ‘I’ve seen Leigh’s bubbas so far, she’s got twins.
‘It was quite obvious to us, because she is so tiny, like she had this big belly. I felt to us it was obvious she was having twins.’
She added: ‘I went to see them not so long ago, and they’re beautiful. I haven’t seen Perrie’s yet, I’m going to go and see her soon.
‘I wanted to give them a bit of space. Because we are literally sisters and obsessed with each other. But I didn’t want to intrude, or remind them of work, too soon. So, I’ve given them a bit of time.’
Little Mix are releasing their greatest hits compilation album, Between Us, this month and Jade has taken on most of the promotional duties.
Describing herself as the ‘fabulous rich auntie’, she said: ‘I’m happy to, because I’d hate to be at home twiddling me thumbs, I like being busy, I like working. So, I’m more than happy to do it while they’re resting up. Well, not resting.’
Perrie, 28, and Leigh-Anne, 30, recently detailed what their lives are like now with young babies to care for.
‘There’s no such thing as having a scheduled lifestyle anymore,’ Perrie admitted to The Telegraph’s Stella magazine.

Leigh-Anne agreed, adding: ‘Like you say, Pez, you can’t plan anything. Even when you want to feed them at a certain time, it never goes to plan.’
Perrie then revealed: ‘Axel is a good sleeper, but I don’t know how you’re doing it with two, Leigh-Anne,’ to which her bandmate admitted: ‘I don’t even know myself. Last night was horrific. I’ve tried to feed them at the same time, one right after the other. That’s normally quite a good routine, but it wasn’t last night. Oh, it was horrible!’
