【auto-eroticism asphyxiation】

Holy sh*t,auto-eroticism asphyxiation this is actually happening.

Tuesday night, former One Directiom member Liam Payne and his girlfriend, former Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Cole, attended the Quintessentially Foundation's St James' Fayre in London, and after months of speculation, it appears the pair is expecting their first child.

Though the pair has yet to officially confirm the rumors, Cheryl wore a form-fitting green dress to the event, proudly putting her growing bump on display.

The pair originally met when Payne auditioned for The X Factor in 2010, while Cheryl was a judge on the show. The two began dating in late 2015.

Of course, the One Direction fandom can take nothing in stride, and is absolutely losing its mind over the former boy-bander's news.
