Baby Boom? Cheryl’s Mum Hit Up Mothercare And Now Everyone Thinks The Obvious

Rumours of a Cheryl-and-Liam-Payne baby have been rife for months now, and while for the most part we reckon it’s unlikely they’re true, this latest news does have us wondering.

Cheryl’s mum was spotted making a pretty unusual shopping trip over the weekend, to her local Mothercare branch. In photos published by The Mirror today (taken by a nosy neighbour, surely?) Joan Callaghan can be seen purchasing a support blanket for expectant mums.

However one insider pointed out to the paper that Joan has “a lot of grandchildren” and that the blanket was most likely for one of her other daughters. Considering Cheryl is one of five children, it does seem like a reasonable explanation.

To add fuel to the ‘she’s pregnant’ fire, Cheryl hasn’t been seen in public since she attended Liam’s sisters wedding back in June, and has been silent on social media over the last month too. Her most recent TV appearance, on a L’Oréal ad which only showed her from the waist up, doesn’t give any clues away either.

Cheryl and One Direction’s Liam have been openly dating since early February, just four weeks after Cheryl’s split from her husband of two years, Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini, was confirmed.
