Liam Payne's cousin claims Liam and Cheryl could be 'married in weeks'

Could a wedding be on the cards?

Published 30th Mar 2016

Liam Payne and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini's relationship has been going from strength to strength since they started dating earlier in the year and now Liam's cousin has spoken, claiming the pair could be 'married in weeks'.

Ross Harris, who is currently appearing on The Voice, has been talking about his famous cousin’s new relationship, saying he wouldn't be surprised if the pair "got hitched sooner rather than later."

Since the loved up pair went public with their relationship many have branded it a publicity stunt, but now Ross has addressed any rumours saying "I don't think their relationship is for publicity just because they've been seen holding hands and going to restaurants. Unless they're having fun with the media and fooling everyone, which would actually be quite funny".

The 24-year-old also shot down any claims that the relationship would fail due to the 10-year age gap between 32-year-old Cheryl and 22-year-old Liam.

Ross said, "The age difference is a little bit weird but if it works, it works."

If the pair are to tie the knot, Cheryl will have to finalise her divorce with French businessmen, Jean Bernard, whom she was married to for 19 months before they ended their relationship back in 2015.

As Cheryl and Liam enjoy each other’s company in Los Angeles, reports suggest the X Factor judge has set new 'rules' for her man to follow to prevent any unnecessary problems in the early stages of their relationship.
