Are One Direction singer Liam Payne and his girlfriend, former Girls Aloud member Cheryl expecting a child?

People magazine said Wednesday that Cheryl, 33, who formerly performed as Cheryl Cole, appeared to be pregnant Tuesday at the St. James Christmas Carol Concert in London. Neither the couple nor their representatives have confirmed the report.

Payne, 23, and Cheryl made their red-carpet debut in May at Eva Longoria’s Global Gift Gala in Paris, where Cheryl was bestowed the Global Gift philanthropist award.

Her divorce from Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini was finalized in October, People said.
