Now, we’re trying to not get carried away with Cheryl and Liam’s ‘baby’ – because the couple still haven’t confirmed they are expecting, for starters.
We couldn’t help but get a little giddy, however, when we heard Liam’s former band mate, Niall Horan, has been spotted in West Hollywood carrying a gorgeous-looking gift box for a newborn tot.

Cheryl looked glowing – and very obviously blooming – when she stepped out at a charity event with her beau last week.
A source told The Sun: “Cheryl isn’t hiding anything — especially not her bump.
“She is very excited because starting a family is something she’s always wanted.

“There’s not going to be any sort of magazine deal for her family in the future.
“But, of course, she’s very happy.”
