7 celebrity exes who have moved on with other famous types

Is Little Mix’s Perrie Edwards dating Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain?

Big heart eyes on Instagram? Come on that's basically a proposal.

If you’re a regular visitor to star Perrie Edwards’ Instagram feed, you might have noticed the super sweet snap she posted last night, of long-rumoured boyfriend Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

It’s the biggest confirmation of their relationship since they reportedly started dating in November, with Arsenal player Alex pictured snuggling up to Perrie’s pet Pomeranian, Hatchi, and his own dog. Aww.

As we all know, Perrie has *quite* a famous ex, but she’s not the only celebrity who’s moved on with someone else in the public eye. Here are seven more famous faces that followed one very high profile relationship with another.

Zayn and Gigi Hadid

You’d be forgiven for thinking Perrie took a leaf out of her ex’s book when it came to announcing her new relationship, because made things official with model Gigi Hadid via Instagram, back in December 2015. Yep, they’ve really been dating for that long already.

Gigi Hadid and Joe Jonas

Before Gigi got together with Zayn, she was dating star Joe Jonas for five months, ending in November 2015. While their break-up was reported to be down to scheduling problems, Joe later spoke to the Daily Mirror about Gigi’s new relationship with Zayn, saying, “I think it’s interesting that she moved on so quickly, I mean it was definitely very quick.”

Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston

Probably the most talked-about celebrity relationship of 2016, moved on from with The Night Manager star Tom Hiddleston, after initially meeting at last year’s Met Gala. Cue a summer filled with PDAs and Tom’s now-infamous ‘I heart TS’ T-shirt, before the pair went their separate ways in September.

Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris

Of course, this wasn’t the first time Swifty had moved on from one celebrity boyfriend with another – she was single after dating 's Harry Styles before she and Calvin got together. We’re still living in hope that one day they’ll reunite as a pop power couple. Or at least do a duet together.

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom

After ending her on-off relationship with , started dating Orlando Bloom in January 2016, and they’re still going strong. They even dressed up as Mrs Claus and Santa for a carol concert at the Los Angeles Children’s Hospital last month. Here’s hoping for a fancy dress wedding.

Drake and Jennifer Lopez

While these two haven’t 100% confirmed their relationship (though Instagram cuddling means official these days, right?), appears to have moved on from long-time on-off love with none other than . Eagle-eyed Insta users even noticed that RiRi unfollowed J-Lo after she and Drake posted photos of them getting cosy over Christmas. Who knows how this one will pan out.

Selena Gomez and Zedd

After breaking up with (still not over that one), briefly dated German DJ , though she is currently thought to be single. And so is Biebs… Oh what we’d give for Jelena to reunite.
