Liam Payne is 'the happiest he could be' about Cheryl's pregnancy

Liam Payne, who is expecting his first child with girlfriend Cheryl, recently took part in a social media banter, where he expressed that he is the "happiest" he could be.

In a Twitter Q&A #AskLiam, the 23-year-old 'One Direction' singer was asked by a loyal fan, "Are you happy honey?" to which, Payne replied, "The happiest I could be."

Apart from declaring his happiness, the 'Drag Me Down' singer remained decidedly tight lipped when it came to opening up about his girlfriend.

One fan wrote, "@liampayne are you excited to be a dad? btw congratulations #askliam."

Another cut straight to the chase, tweeting, "@cherylofficial is pregnant? #askliam @liampayne."

Despite their incessant questioning, the Birmingham native remained radio silent instead confirming to fans that Cheryl was indeed his woman crush, simply replying to a fan, "we all know the answer to that."

Despite the former 'Girls Aloud' singer showing off what appeared to be a visible baby bump, the couple has so far kept mum about her pregnancy.

Theirs will be the second 'One Direction' baby following bandmate Louis Tomlinson having son Freddie Reign Tomlinson with Briana Jungwirth this past January.
