Hold Up! Liam Referred To Cheryl As His “Wife” And Now Fans Are Convinced They’re Married

Liam Payne has been referring to Cheryl as his ‘Mrs.’ for a while now, and we always thought it was just a term of endearment until he then called her his ‘wife’.

Considering how little we saw of the couple in the lead-up to baby Bear’s birth (and indeed afterwards), is it possible that the celebrity couple were married in a secret ceremony?

In an interview with SiriusXM’s Morning Mash Up, Liam talked about his love for the fast food chain In-N-Out Burger, saying, “I left my wife and child at home and I was straight out to In-N-Out burger. I’m just kidding.”

Fans of the couple are just as surprised as we are, and are wondering whether it could be true. One girl tweeted, “Am I the only one who didn’t know that Liam and Cheryl are engaged/married? He called her his wife???”

also am I the only one who didn't know that Liam and Cheryl are engaged/married? He called her his wife ???
