Cheryl and Liam Payne FINALLY confirm pregnancy: See her beautiful baby bump!

Directioners have been speculating for months that Liam Payne and his girlfriend Cheryl is pregnant.

Eagle-eyed fans couldn't help but notice the singer's growing belly even though Cheryl wore large coats and loose clothing — and the couple refused to publicly confirm the news.

Until now.

The couple has finally revealed all as Cheryl posed in a skintight black dress proudly showing off her baby bump in a campaign for L'Oreal.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Cheryl is confident, proud and very ready to become a mum."

"She's still a little way off and has been enjoying the build-up as well as focusing on her charity announcement which is a really big deal for her."

Previously keeping their Twitter and Instagram profiles in a state of lock-down, Cheryl's new shot has finally given fans what they wanted. 

Cheryl and Liam first met in 2008 when he was an aspiring teenage contestant on The X Factor and she was a judge.

Baby-faced Liam was 14 when he first auditioned for the show but he returned as a solo artist in 2010 only to be partnered with Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson, who went on to become global boyband One Direction.

They went public with their romance in February 2016, just weeks after Cheryl announced her split from second husband Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini after 18 months of marriage.
