They confirmed their shock romance with a loved-up Instagram post captioned “Happy,” and now Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Liam Payne are set to settle down in an LA love nest this year to cement their relationship.
The couple – who first met in 2008 when Cheryl was a judge on The X Factor and then 14-year-old Liam was auditioning – are believed to have hooked up after Cheryl split from her second husband Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini at the end of last year.

And insiders say the pair are so smitten, they’ve been secretly living together at Cheryl’s home in London and scouting for a place in LA.
A source says: “Cheryl fell for Liam extremely fast – she didn’t think it was possible to fall in love so quickly after her whirlwind romance with JB, but she’s fallen even faster this time.
“Once their relationship took off, they were saying ‘I love you’ within a few weeks.
"She told pals there’s been chemistry there in the past, but they were never single at the same time.”
