CHERYL fans have demanded to know why the star hasn't been seen with boyfriend Liam Payne in months, and whether it has anything to do with his questionable dress sense and outrageous topless selfies.
The couple haven't been snapped on their social media accounts together since August, and the last time they were seen in public was at The X Factor in October last year.
One eager fan tweeted: "Hey @LiamPayne the last you posted a selfie on Instagram with Cheryl was August last year. Could you bless us with a new one please Liam. @CherylOfficial."
Another follower wrote: "@CherylOfficial hello, I miss your selfies with liam x".
But a source close to Cheryl told The Sun Online: "Liam and Cheryl are happier and more in love than ever, even though they have been busy with their music, their son Bear - and their family unit - is still the most important thing.
"Fans have nothing to worry about, the couple are regularly in contact with each other regardless of where they are in the world and are looking forward to Valentine's Day."
Liam has been busy promoting his new duet with Rita Ora, For You, which is from the Fifty Shades Freed movie.
Performing the track on Jimmy Fallon's late night talk show last week, the singers channelled the raunchy movie and looked like they were going to kiss at one point.
Thankfully they didn't, but Cheryl, 34, may have bigger concerns about 24-year-old, as Liam's been posting a series of cringe-worthy pictures online of his new 'urban' look, not to mention numerous topless selfies.
Taking to Twitter, one fan wrote: "@LiamPayne is so cringe @CherylOfficial sort out your man's dess sense it's embarrassing".
Another tweeted: "Why's @LiamPayne being all gangster it doesn't suit him, he was better when was sweet n innocent sort him out @CherylOfficial [sic]".
Last week, Liam had to delete an "embarrassing" picture of him bragging about flying on a private jet.
The singer had posted a picture of himself with his middle finger sticking up as he donned red Mona Lisa tracksuit bottoms and a denim jacket.
He captioned the shot: "You can only get jet lag from a jet, the rest of y'all have got plane lag. #NoF**ks."
But Liam - who has son Bear with Cheryl - clearly did "give a f***" after he was mercilessly mocked by followers online.
One fan wrote on Twitter alongside a grab of the picture: "can someone come and collect Liam Payne? He's had a capri sun and he's acting up to impress the year sevens again."
Someone else wrote underneath it: "@CherylOfficial sort out your man xox".
A third simply tagged Cheryl in the picture on Twitter and wrote: "Cringe" alongside three embarrassed emojis.

Liam also shared a snap in his fetching red trousers lying on his bed topless, taking the picture in the reflection of the mirrored ceiling above his hotel bed.
The former One Direction singer also shared a picture on his Instagram page of him reclining on a lion statue in a black pair of shorts and a Versace jacket, his abs on display as he gave the camera his best 'blue steel' look.
Liam has been keen to impress with his rippling six pack, but admitted this week that he'd like Cheryl to take more notice and pay him a compliment or two.
But fans are unimpressed by his efforts to be more "gangster", with one writing on Twitter: "Happy to see @LiamPayne has deleted his feeble attempt at acting urban...i wish #1D would get back together so i don't hear anymore of his solo stuff...its so cringe."
