Despite the pain, Cheryl is not giving up on her desire to expand her family.

A source told Heat magazine: “Cheryl hasn’t completely given up on her dream of having another baby yet, but she knows it will probably have to be in the next year or so.”

“As Bear’s birthday approaches, Cheryl convinces him that he’s not her baby anymore and that he’s now a real boy, growing more independent by the day.”

“It’s gone in a blur and she really misses that time when it was just her and him in their own little bubble.”

Despite Cheryl and Liam, 30, calling it quits, the pair were reported to share a good co-parenting relationship, looking after Bear.

Liam previously gave an insight into co-parenting with Cheryl and revealed why they decided to split, with Liam hinting that having a baby caused their split.

Speaking on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast, he said: “I take my son to school once or twice a week and it’s the best thing. The relationship we have now as friends has grown even more.”

“We broke up for a reason and now she gives me full autonomy of my life and to do what I want to do and I know he (Bear) is taken care of.”

“He’s all she cares about and I couldn’t ask for more. They live three minutes from my house.”
