Liam and Cheryl have an adorable nickname for baby Bear

Awwwwww.

Liam and Cheryl’s firstborn has to be one of the most-talked-about babies in the history of celeb land.

The couple never formally announced that they were expecting which only led to heightened anticipation of the birth and when the announcement came back in March, it was just lovely.

Then we found out that the couple had chosen to name their tot Bear and now apparently, Cheryl has a nickname for him, none other than Cub.

We can’t actually deal with that level of cuteness. Nope, sorry.

On Wednesday 22nd March Liam and I became parents to an incredibly beautiful, healthy baby boy, weighing 7lb 9 and looking like a dream. Although he still doesn’t have a name he is already stealing hearts. We are all madly in love and overwhelmingly happy with our little arrival. Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers around the world. A day that now has a different meaning to me forever ?

Liam is in America at the moment, carrying out promotional duties for his solo music, and this week he held a Q&A with fans, where he apparently revealed Bear’s nickname.

Delighted at meeting their 1D idol, a few Twitter users shared their experience of meeting Liam at Twitter, claiming that he opened up about ‘making a human’ and that at first, he kept calling Bear ‘Cub’.

Perhaps Cub won’t catch on but we happen to think it’s seriously CUTE.
