Cheryl shares rare snap of son Bear

Taking to Instagram yesterday (Tuesday, April 28), Cheryl shared some snaps and a video from her time in Disneyland Orlando with Bear.

They were joined by Liam Payne’s sister, Ruth, and her family. Ruth shared her own snaps from the holiday on her Instagram, also commenting on Cheryl’s post saying: “Me [handshake emoji] Flights of Passage], referencing the Avatar ride at the park.

Cheryl shared pictures of herself soaking up the sun in Disney, along with a video of herself and Bear holding hands, walking through the park.

The singer, 42, also uploaded some pictures of Mickey Mouse, and herself and Bear on a ride, though Bear is ducking down in the snap.

“Somewhere in the corners of the world Magic still exists,” she captioned the post.

“I don’t know what took me so long to experience the joys of @waltdisneyworld but I completely escaped into my inner child for the last couple of weeks. What a wonderful place.”

Cheryl’s new ‘distraction’ after hellish few years

Cheryl’s post comes after it was revealed that she’s very much looking forward to the birth of Nicola Roberts’ baby.

The Girls Aloud star announced her pregnancy on Christmas Day and is due soon.

A baby is just what the star needs, according to sources, after a stalking ordeal, the death of bandmate Sarah Harding, and the passing of her ex-partner, Liam.

“Cheryl can’t wait for Nicola’s baby to be born. It’s a joyful distraction in what has been a pretty hellish few years,” a source told Heat.

“She’s promised to be a very hands-on auntie and be there for Nicola as much as she can. Cheryl is always broody and with [her son] Bear being nine, she’s desperate to be around a baby again. She’s so excited for Nicola,” they then added.

“Recently, Cheryl’s felt like she can’t catch a break, so she’s desperate for some good news. With Liam, Sarah and the situation with Andrew [her brother], she’s really struggled at times, but the thought of this new baby in her life is picking her up,” they then claimed.
