22 Yrs Old Liam Secretly Dates 32 Yrs X-Factor Judge Cheryl?

Liam Payne, 22, member of one direction group has allegedly been secretly dating Cherly Fernandez-Versini (formerly Cole/Tweedy), who is 32 and soon to be twice-divorced, since December when they reunited on X Factor.

When asked by Huffington Post UK, reps for Cheryl and Liam declined to comment on the rumoured relationship reports.

Cheryl is currently still married to Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini however they are thought to have separated in 2015, though she is yet to make an official statement.

Liam split from his long-term girlfriend Sophia Smith in October.

Details of Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Liam Payne’s rumoured romance have begun to emerge, with multiple outlets claiming that the new couple enjoyed a romantic break holiday together, earlier this month.

On Saturday (27 February), reports stating that the duo have been secretly dating since December surfaced, and it’s now being claimed that they jetted off to a 5-star resort in early February.

Both stars attended Wednesday night's Brit Awards 

However, there’s some disagreement about where the lovebirds went, and while The Sun claims that they jetted off to the Maldives, the Mirror’s source alleges that Mustique was their destination of choice.

Either way, a romantic break is a romantic break, right? 

“It was great for Liam and Cheryl to go on their first big holiday away together,” a source tells The Sun.

“It was really hushed up and they went to great lengths not to be spotted when they flew in. 

“Some of their closest friends didn’t even know they had been away, let alone on holiday with each other.

“They had an amazing trip and it really made them believe they had something special together.”

It’s believed that Liam and Cheryl travelled separately, with the latter jetting in straight from Barbados, where she was a bridesmaid at best pal Kimberley Walsh’s wedding.

News of their alleged hook-ups broke on Saturday, with a source claiming: “Their relationship developed very quickly in December after the X Factor final where One Direction gave their final performance before starting their hiatus.”
