Cheryl has shared a new picture of her nine-year-old son Bear after a trip to Disney World.
The Girls Aloud star, 42, keeps her private life under wraps however she treated fans to a glimpse of the trip.
But one detail about the post caught the attention of fans.
The ‘Call My Name’ singer wrote: “Somewhere in the corners of the world, magic still exists. I don't know what took me so long to experience the joys of @waltdisneyworld but I completely escaped into my inner child for the last couple of weeks. What a wonderful place."

In the carousel post the former The X Factor judge shared, Bear could be seen wearing a hoodie and with his back to the camera, while another snap showed Cheryl and her son on a ride.
Fans loved seeing how much Cheryl’s son had grown, predicting that the youngster will soon be taller than his mum.
"Little Bear is not little anymore,” one fan wrote in the comments.
Another fan shared: “Bear will be taller than you soon OMG.”
A third person wrote: “Aww, so glad you went there with Bear and had an amazing and beautiful time. You deserve it.”
Cheryl’s Girls Aloud bandmate Nicola Roberts wrote: “Love this.”
And Kimberly Walsh also gushed: “The best. Pure magic.”
Cheryl welcomed Bear with Liam Payne in 2017. After the couple announce their split in 2018, they both emphasised their commitment to co-parenting their son. The former couple released a statement that read: “We still have so much love for each other as a family. Bear is our world, and we ask that you respect his privacy as we navigate our way through this together."
Liam died tragically in 2024 aged 31. Cheryl released a tribute after his death, describing his passing as ‘earth shattering’.
In an Instagram post accompanied by a black and white photo of Payne with son Bear, she wrote: "As I try to navigate this earth shattering event, and work through my own grief at this indescribably painful time, I'd like to kindly remind everyone that we have lost a human being.
"Liam was not only a pop star and celebrity, he was a son, a brother, an uncle, a dear friend and a father to our 7 year old son. A son that now has to face the reality of never seeing his father again.
"What is troubling my spirit the most is that one day Bear will have access to the abhorrent reports and media exploitation we have seen in the past two days. It is breaking my heart further that I cannot protect him from that in his future.
"I am begging you to consider what use some of these reports are serving, other than to cause further harm to everyone left behind picking up the pieces. Before you leave comments or make videos, ask yourself if you would like your own child or family to read them.
"Please give Liam the little dignity he has left in the wake of his death to rest in some peace at last.
"Thank you, Cheryl."
