Cheryl explained that after Liam Payne, 29, officially broke things off with Maya Henry, the two have grown close, so much so that they have been discussing having another child together, a sibling for their five-year-old son Bear.This came after fans were initially shocked to see Liam attend the red-carpet charity fundraiser in memory of late Girls Aloud bandmate, Sarah Harding.The former X Factor judge joined her former bandmates, Nadine Coyle, 37, Nicola Roberts, 37, and Kimberley Walsh, 40, to host The Primrose Ball at a swanky London hotel in honour of Sarah, who tragically lost her battle with breast cancer last year at just 39.After rumours circulated about the pair rekindling their romance, insiders told Closer that Cheryl is “longing for another baby” and would not want to have one with anyone else apart from Liam.A source told Closer: “Since Liam’s split from Maya [Henry] earlier this year, Cheryl’s come to lean on him more than ever – he’s becoming the closest person in her life and the one she sees most out of all her close friends, and even family.”With Cheryl worried that the “clock is very much ticking” for her to have a baby, the source went on to say that the singer has considered numerous fertility options.But with Liam coming back into her life, Cheryl has prompted the subject of him “fathering another child with her instead of her going down the complicated fertility route of sperm donors and IVF".The source added: “They already have a beautiful son together and Cheryl would love him to have a full-blood sibling, so it’s something they’ve been discussing and Cheryl is very much hoping it happens in the not-too-distant future.”Knowing how well they both co-parent, Cheryl is said to have insisted there.
