Well it's fair to say we didn't see this one coming...
Cheryl Fernandez-Versini has reportedly been in a secret relationship with One Direction's Liam Payne for three months.
The Sun newspaper claims Liam has told his friends he's "madly in love" with the Geordie singer, and he's had a rose inked onto his hand as a tribute to Cheryl's famous bum tattoo.

It's understood the relationship began after Cheryl initiated legal proceedings to divorce her husband of nineteen months, Jean Bernard Fernandez Versini, at the end of last year.
There's a ten year age gap between the pair who met on the X Factor in 2010, when Liam was a fresh-faced 17 year old. At the time, Cheryl described Liam and the One D boys as "great kids, and I love chatting to you backstage. You are good, nice lads."
Last week Liam posted this on Instagram
In the words of Janice from Friends... OH. MY. GAWWWD!
