Cheryl has revealed she would consider “other routes” to become a mother again – as she noted in a newspaper interview that a friend had two children using donors.
The mum-of-one, 35, indicated that being a relationship is not essential to having kids in a chat about motherhood with the Sunday Telegraph.
She also seemed to rule out getting involved with someone new, insisting finding a partner was not top of her agenda.
Asked whether she is looking for love, the ex Girls Aloud star – who split from Liam Payne, the father of her son, in July 2018 – made it clear that Bear will always come first.

Cheryl told the broadsheet: “It’s so not something I’m even thinking about. I wouldn’t rule it out maybe at some point in the distant future. But it’s not a priority. I’ve found the love of my life and he’s absolutely enough for me.”
However, The Greatest Dancer show captain is keen to add to her brood – even if she doesn’t necessarily subscribe to the idea of a traditional family unit.
She said: “You don’t necessarily need to be in a relationship. I’ve got a friend who has had two children using donors. Not everything has to be conventional.”
The twice-married Geordie also reflected on how love and life does not always come together perfectly.

Cheryl continued: “You can spend ages looking for the right man, waiting for the perfect time to get pregnant, then the right man might turn out to be the wrong man. There are definitely other routes I would consider.”
TV personality Cheryl went on to open up about how motherhood had meant she was less focused on her “insecurities” and consequently kinder to herself.
Detailing how she’s embraced every aspect of being mum – from being woken up in the night to breastfeeding – Cheryl also admitted she was made up at having a part in creating a life.
However, she also pointed out she is no soft touch with two-year-old Bear – and is the tot’s stricter parent.
