ICYMI: Cheryl’s Baby Name Has Finally Been Revealed And It’s Seriously WTF
What's wrong with traditional names like John or Michael?
Cheryl and Liam announced the name of their five-week-old son last night, but amid all the Met Gala news, some of you may have missed it.
The celebrity couple welcomed their 7lb 9oz tot on March 22nd, and weโve been left in suspense as to what they might call him since then.
And the name they settled on? Bear. Bear Payne… I know, we were like, ‘WTF’, too.
A source told the Sun, โCheryl and Liam wanted to get to know their baby before deciding on a name. They spent over a week getting to know him first before deciding.โ
But Bear? He must be a feisty little thing.
Fans have been responding to the announcement in glorious fashion via Twitter…
