Liam Payne drops major bombshell about marriage to Cheryl

The couple have been together more than a year and share a child, baby son Bear

Sorry Cheryl, you might not want to hear this… but your boyfriend Liam Payne has just announced he’s not really a “wedding-y” kind of guy.

Despite referring to Cheryl, 34, as his “missus” in interviews, it turns out One Direction star Liam, 24, may not be getting down on one knee after all.

The couple have one child, son Bear, seven months, and live together in Liam’s mansion in Surrey.

But Cheryl may not be adding Payne to her list of surnames any time soon…

When asked by Daily Star about marrying his girlfriend, Liam replied: “I don’t know if I’m the wedding-y type of guy.

“Weddings feel a bit weird to me. I don’t know.

“Who knows? We’ll see.”

Of course, perhaps Liam just meant he’s not a fan of the big, white wedding and would prefer a low-key marriage with no fuss?

Or he’s just keeping it on the down low – after all, if Liam’s planning a proposal, he probably a) doesn’t want to let slip too much detail and b) tell everyone before he’s actually asked Cheryl the big question!

Also, it’s a pretty personal question to be asked so maybe he just didn’t want to answer!

Liam sparked rumours that he’d secretly wed Cheryl back in May when he called her his “missus” in a chat with a US radio station.

He’d quipped: “I left my wife and child at home and I was straight out to In-N-Out Burger.”

However, the Strip That Down singer later clarified the couple weren’t married, and “missus” was just an affectionate term.

“In the U.K., you say ‘the Mrs’,” he told People magazine, before adding: “Maybe one day.”

Whether Cheryl and Liam marry or not is nobody’s business but theirs and, either way, both have said they’re happier and stronger than ever after welcoming their first child in March.

Liam recently told The Sun: “I see marriage as more of a religious thing and I’m not really a religious person, so I know it’s not really on the cards for me at the moment.

“So no not yet. We have a baby together — you know our love for each other can’t be more serious so it is what it is I guess.”

Bear Grey Payne arrived on 22 March but has been kept firmly away from the spotlight by his parents, who have yet to share any photos of the tot’s face with fans.

Cheryl told The Sun: “It changes your life completely but in the most amazing way. But I’ve had the best six months of my life. Really.”
