Liam Payne Pays Romantic Tribute To “Favourite Woman” Cheryl Cole

Things are hotting up for Liam Payne and Cheryl Cole it seems. The pair, who were decidedly cryptic about their rumoured romance at first, have now opened up in a big way on social media. Taking to Instagram on International Women's Day, Liam shared a gushing tribute to his "favourite woman in the world". N'aww.

The proclamation comes amid rumours that the pair are shacking up together, with an insider revealing to Heat magazine that the X Factor judge has been staying with Liam since late January. The friend apparently said: "She and Liam have practically moved in together - they even bought new furniture to make his place more homely." Cheryl filed for divorce from French restauranteur Jean Bernard Fernandez-Versini in January after eighteen months of marriage.
