It was only last week that people were speculating about their engagement - but now it seems that Liam Payne and Cheryl Tweedy's romance may be coming to an end.
Reports suggest that the One Direction star has been seeking legal advice about ending their relationship and what it would mean for his £54 milliion fortune.
The pair have an 11-month-old son, Bear, together but are rumoured to be going their separate ways 'within weeks' after just two years together.
Apparently the pair are currently attempting to work through a 'rough patch' in their relationship, a source told The Sun: "Liam has sought some legal advice but he still wants to make it work. It's sensible to be prepared for all options. With a young son and a number of assets between them there is more to breaking up than just parting ways. He hopes it doesn't come to it but he's just being careful."
Another source added: “Hopefully they can emerge intact as a couple. But there’s no denying it – things are pretty rough at the moment between them. Everyone hopes they can sort things out but, at the same time, it may be too large an obstacle.”
Payne was most recently in the news for sharing a cringeworthy photo of himself on a private jet, which drew scorn from many quarters.
