The One Direction boys are really all grown up, and for Liam Payne it means brushing up on his parenting skills. The 23-year-old singer is expecting a baby with his girlfriend, Cheryl Cole, and is planning to propose.
The big reveal was made when the couple stepped out in London Tuesday night to attend the St James Christmas Carol Concert. Liam Payne's girlfriend debuted her baby bump as she walked side by side with her beau.
According to The Daily Mail, Liam Payne's girlfriend has already informed her family and close friends about her pregnancy, but has yet no intention to make a public announcement. A source close to 33-year-old Cole said that "she's totally ecstatic, happy."
Liam Payne's sister, Ruth Gibbins also defended the couple's decision to stay quiet about the issue. On Twitter, Gibbins posted, "It's completely up to my brother and Cheryl what parts of [their] private lives they choose to share and when."
With Cole's pregnancy confirmed, there's now huge buzz about the rumored Liam Payne and Cheryl Cole wedding. A source revealed that Payne is eager to propose Cole. The source also added that the couple has been discussing marriage for a while, from the details of the wedding to who would be the best man and the bridesmaids.
Express UK reports that Payne is serious about his relationship with Cole and is looking forward to building a future with her. Sources claimed that Cheryl Cole's boyfriend has brought her a wedding ring and is planning to propose soon.
Is a Liam Payne and Cheryl Cole wedding really coming up? "He's also old fashioned enough to want any baby to have a mum and dad who are married," a source revealed. "It is absolutely essential to him that in the future his children's surname on a birth certificate is Payne."
Liam Payne's girlfriend reportedly wants a beach wedding or a wedding on a private island.
In January this year, Cole filed for divorce from her ex-husband Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versin, citing the Frenchman's "unreasonable behavior" to blame for the split. They were married for less than 18 months before calling it quits.
"She's relieved she can finally move on with her life. She's the happiest she's been in a long time," a source close to Cole said about the singer's divorce and new life with Payne.
