Cheryl Cole

Yes, it's sad but true:

As reported in detail on The Hollywood Gossip, Cheryl Cole and Liam Payne have broken up.

According to a VERY reliable source, Liam Payne is all set to go in one direction...

... while long-time girlfriend Cheryl Cole goes in another.

Liam Payne and Cheryl Cole have made it official:

They had a bear of a time coming up with a name for their brand new baby.

First comes love? Then comes marriage? Then comes a baby in a baby carriage?

Try telling that to Liam Payne and Cheryl Cole.

There's officially a new member of the One Direction Dads' Club!

Liam Payne took to Instagram moments ago to confirm that he and girlfriend Cheryl Cole have welcomed a baby boy.

Let there be no more debate.

Let there be no more discussion and no more questions over the status of Cheryl Cole's womb.

When we first learned that Liam Payne and Cheryl Cole were dating, few believed that the couple would last.

After all, Cheryl is ten years Liam's senior, and their relationship seemed like a classic rebound fling.

Cheryl Cole may be pregnant with Liam Payne's baby.

We emphasize that she may be. We cannot confirm for certain that the singer is carrying the child of her fellow attractive singer.

Justin Bieber may be a long way from settling down in his own love life, but it certainly seems that he's looking forward to seeing some of his popstar buddies take the plunge.

Cheryl Cole may not be a household name on this side of the pond, but in her native UK, the former girl group member is as well known for her tumultuous love life as for her music.

Now it seems she may be reliving her pop star glory days by hitching her wagon to Liam Payne's star:

Last week, the hopes and dreams of women everywhere were crushed when it was confirmed Eva Mendes is having Ryan Gosling's baby.

Now, men around the world can share in a similar type of unexpected mourning... because Cheryl Cole is officially off the market.
