'They're madly in love': Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and 1D's Liam Payne 'have been secretly dating since December'... and they've even got 'his and hers' tattoos

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and One Direction singer Liam Payne are secretly dating.

The pop duo, who share a 10 year age gap, are said to be been seeing each other since December, according to The Sun.

Cheryl, 32, and Liam, 22, grew close after the X Factor decided to divorce her husband, Jean-Bernard, and they even appear to have matching 'his and hers' tattoos.


While the pair are yet to confirm their romance, it seems that they do share a rose tattoo in common - Cheryl's on her behind and Liam's more recent inking on his hand.

On Valentine's Day, Liam posted a photo of a single red rose on his Instagram page, writing: Happy Valentine's Day baby...' with emoticons depicting a wink and blowing a kiss.
