The singer and footballer, who announced their engagement in June, were “terrified” and “heartbroken” when thieves entered their Cheshire mansion on Tuesday (27 September) night, reports claim.
The Sun reports that the pair were downstairs in their home with baby son Axel when the burglars broke in upstairs, stealing “a lot of valuable items” including jewellery and designer bags.
They called police from inside their home, with detectives now said to be looking at CCTV footage for leads.
A source claiming to be a friend of the couple told the publication: “It’s just the most violating thing – to think that someone has been all over their belongings before they even realised what was happening is so upsetting.
“The brazenness of doing it while they were in the house is terrifying, and obviously they’re heartbroken that a lot of valuable items which meant a great deal to them – not just financially – have been taken. This is their dream home and they love their life there as a family.”
Cheshire Police confirmed that officers were called to the burglary at 10.45pm on Tuesday.
“The offenders have broken into the home stealing jewellery and handbags while the occupants were inside,” they said in a statement.
The Independent has contacted Edwards’ representatives for comment.
