Alexandra Burke shows off bikini-ready figure on sun-soaked family holiday with Darren Randolph and their children

Alexandra Burke is on a sun-soaked family break with fiancé Darren Randolph and their two children. The 37-year-old singer showed off a toned figure in a series of bikinis as she shared photos from the getaway. Burke and the Middlesbrough goalkeeper, 38, welcomed their first child together in July 2022 and their second in September 2023; they have not publicly disclosed their children's names. On Instagram, Burke explained that a break was exactly what they needed after finishing The Addams Family tour, and she hinted at the "beautiful chaos" of family life back home.

The vacation included time on the sand and moments of a date night for the couple, with Burke posting glimpses of wine-sipping as they relaxed near the shore. The family has kept a relatively low public profile about their children’s identities, and Burke and Randolph have not revealed their names publicly.

Engagement in September 2024 brought a new milestone for the couple. Burke described the candlelit dinner as a highly meaningful moment because their young family would be part of the celebration. She has said the proposal left her "over the moon" about marrying her best friend, and she noted that the happy news came with a touch of emotion given how their lives were evolving together.

The couple’s origin story goes back to their performances at Christmas in the Courtyard, an event in aid of the Melissa Bell Foundation and Style For Stroke at the Rosewood Hotel in London. Burke has said they met after connecting on a dating site; after just about two weeks, she felt certain he was the one.

The two welcomed their first child in July 2022 and their second in September 2023, and they have not publicly shared their children's names. Burke has spoken openly about balancing a high-profile career with family life, noting that the arrival of children has shaped the rhythm of their days and contributed to the joy of their relationship.

Burke has also acknowledged a profound personal loss connected to her family: her mother, Melissa Bell, passed away in 2017. She has spoken about how difficult it would be to share momentous life events with her mother in person, underscoring the enduring impact of Bell on Burke’s life and career.

As the family continues to enjoy time together, Burke and Randolph appear to be navigating their next steps with a focus on family life, shared milestones, and the balance of public and private moments. A wedding date has not been announced, but the couple’s circle has indicated that they remain committed to building a life together with their children at the center.
