One Direction star had just welcomed parenthood together with his girlfriend, Cheryl Cole, a few days ago. However, it seemed like not all of his fans are happy for them as news speculated into a rather bigger controversy. Apparently, the unnamed newborn was NOT Liam Payne's child.

Just recently, TMZ reported about the birth of Payne's first son with girlfriend Cole. According to the news outlet, the One Direction member is a new father to a healthy newborn. The X Factor judge has started dating the 23-year-old singer back in 2016, the same year when the 33-year-old singer was going through a divorce with Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini, her second husband.

Although the "Call My Name" singer and One Direction star had a ten years gap on their age, they proved how they were infatuated with each other. Payne even got her eye tattooed on his left arm. A year after, the "Fight For This Love" singer and "Perfect" hitmaker announced about their first child via Instagram and although most Directioners are happy about it, there are still several speculations saying that Zayn Malik's former bandmate is not the father.

As Unreality TV cited, Payne and Cole had just dated for more than a year but after a short time, the "Promise This" singer was spotted carrying a gigantic baby bump already. Because of this, some One Direction fans believes that the "One Thing" singer is not the father and Directioners were not afraid of posting their sentiments on Twitter.

With the rumors going on, one fan wasn't able to control herself as she tweeted: "I think that baby is Cheryl's baby but not Liam's." Meanwhile, another fan of Liam Payne said: "I'm not sure if that baby is actually Liam's or Cheryl's ex but idc [I don't care] Liam is happy and that's all that matters."

Liam Payne and Cheryl Cole had not answered any of the allegations yet. Stay tuned for more news and updates. To know more about Payne's fatherhood, read here.
