‘Unseen’ picture of ‘pregnant’ Cheryl and Liam Payne loved-up in private moment sends fans into a frenzy

A PREVIOUSLY unseen photograph of 'pregnant' Cheryl and her boyfriend Liam Payne has got fans' hearts melting.

The pic - taken through the back window of a car the lovebirds were travelling in - shows the singers hand-in-hand and looking incredibly relaxed in one another's company.

The candid snap is in stark contrast to recent photos of the couple looking stony-faced as they left Nobu restaurant earlier this week.

However, one follower of 'Cheriam',the account that posted the pic, was quick to point out it was an old photo of the pair.

The account owner replied: "I know it's not really but I just put that since I haven't seen it before and I don't want to just post a 'random' older pic."

There has been much speculation over the past few months about whether 33-year-old Cheryl is carrying the One Direction star's baby.

Liam, 23, has spent the past month in Los Angeles working on new music, but even he has added fuel to the fire by changing his Twitter bio to "the luckiest man in the world".

Many fans assumed this was his way of telling the world that he was expecting a child with his much-older girlfriend, who is currently divorcing her second husband, Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini.

Cheryl and Liam went public with their romance in May, but are believed to have been dating for several months before their red carpet debut at a charity event in Paris.

Their date night to Nobu was the couple's first public appearance together since the pregnancy rumours started - and for the first time since Cheryl’s birthday dinner back in June.

The former Girls Aloud singer sent the rumour mill into over drive last week when she stepped out with what looked like a baby bump at a glamorous L’Oreal event.

For the dinner date, Cheryl once again made an effort to hide her figure when she covered up in a camel coloured midi length jumper dress and a matching coat.

She paired her high-neck dress with some black boots and a black clutch.
