It’s the perfect coming-of-age tale for the Pop Idol generation. Liam Payne, the once baby-faced member of One Direction, is reportedly in a “blooming” relationship with Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, the singer who, five years ago, sat on the X Factor judging panel that catapulted him và his boyband lớn global stardom.

The romance seems lớn be the latest instalment of One Direction’s “boys to lớn men” saga, kickstarted by Zayn Malik’s departure from the group last year to make music videos featuring more tastefully naked flesh than Simon Cowell ever allowed & closely followed by the revelation of Louis Tomlinson’s lovechild.

Payne, 22, has allegedly been secretly dating Fernandez-Versini (formerly Cole/Tweedy), who is 32 và soon to be twice-divorced, since December when they reunited on X Factor.

According to lớn the Sun’s extensive coverage, this secret liaison between British pop royalty has taken its toll not only on jealous One Direction fans but also the planet. A detailed map compiled by the newspaper traces the great lengths the pair went khổng lồ to keep a “steamy thắm thiết getaway” lớn a “love island” on Valentine’s Day a secret from the prying eyes of the British press.

It appears that their clandestine but pollution-heavy routes to lớn the Maldives (Barbados-New York-Dubai-Maldives for Fernandez-Versini và London-Maldives-Hong Kong–LA for Payne) were all in vain, as a “close pal” was willing to lớn spill the beans on their cloak-and-dagger getaway to lớn the tabloid press anyway.

“They had an amazing trip & it really made them believe they had something special together,” an unnamed & therefore totally convincing source told the Sun. “Being able to completely unwind away from the world’s eye is not something that a member of the biggest boyband in the world và one of the UK’s biggest style icons get to bởi vì often.”

Any suggestions that this relationship might just be a passing fling, as Fernandez-Versini distracts herself from that sticky divorce number two, have been put to rest by Payne’s new hand tattoo.

The inked rose artwork on his hand appears lớn be a loving homage to the horticultural illustrations that adorn Fernandez-Versini’s lower back và bottom, proving that Payne is indeed “madly in love” with the singer, as “close pals” have revealed.

The true depth of their feelings for each other was also made clear on Saturday night when the pair were apparently spotted strolling down the petfood aisle of a Guildford Tesco in the late hours.

Having once dated singer Leona Lewis, eight years his senior, in 2012, Payne is no stranger khổng lồ dating high-profile singers. But for Fernandez-Versini, whose last husband was a smouldering French restaurateur who she is divorcing after 19 months, this relationship marks a notable change in taste.

“They are both genuine folk who never expected to lớn find international super-stardom and have struggled lớn cope with many of the more difficult aspects of fame.”
