In her first interview about her new family, Cheryl has opened up about her relationship with Liam Payne and revealed details about her pregnancy with baby Bear.
Joined by her X Factor co-star Simon Cowell, Cheryl’s admitted it was Simon who encouraged her romance with Liam – but claimed she never thought the romance would turn out the way it did.
When asked by The Sun if he took credit for the relationship, Simon said: “One hundred per cent – just call me Cupid.”
Cheryl then added: “He did nudge. And, honestly, I would never, ever have imagined it could be this.”

Finally back together at Judges’ Houses, the X Factor boss also commented on how much their lives had changed since her last appearance on the show.
“I said that to Cheryl. I said, ‘Imagine us having this conversation three years ago?’ It was like, ‘Yeah, right’.
During the interview, Chezza also admitted that she absolutely hated being pregnant. Read all about that here.
Previously opening up to Vogue about her pregnancy Cheryl said she used to play music to Bear while he was still in her stomach.
“What’s interesting is that I love music now more than I ever did.
"The baby loves music too, and I always played it throughout my pregnancy.”
SO cute.
Cheryl will appear at Judges Houses on The X Factor this weekend, helping Simon Cowell pick out his acts.
