Cheryl is said to be furious following a wave of media speculation suggesting her mother, Joan Callaghan, played a role in the breakdown of her relationship with Liam Payne. The renewed focus on her personal life—and more specifically, on her family—has left the pop star feeling “pushed too far,” according to sources close to the singer.
The claims allege that Joan had a strong influence over Cheryl’s decisions during her relationship with Payne, potentially causing tension between the former couple. But insiders insist the reports are completely unfounded and deeply unfair.
“Cheryl’s had enough of people dragging her family into things that are deeply personal,” a source revealed. “Her mum has always had her back, not torn her down. These claims couldn’t be further from the truth.”
Cheryl, who shares her son Bear with Payne, has long chosen to take the high road when it comes to public scrutiny, rarely commenting on rumors or gossip. She’s remained respectful and composed since the pair’s amicable split, focusing instead on co-parenting and her career. However, this latest round of media attention appears to have struck a particularly raw nerve—especially given her well-known devotion to her mother.
Fans have been quick to support Cheryl online, praising her loyalty to her family and condemning what many see as an unwarranted intrusion into her private life. Social media has seen an outpouring of messages urging the press to respect boundaries and stop involving loved ones in celebrity narratives.
Though Cheryl has yet to make a public statement, those close to her suggest she’s drawing a clear line: when it comes to her family—especially her mother—she won’t stay silent if the stories cross a line.
As always, Cheryl remains focused on her work, her son, and the people who matter most—making it clear that, while she may stay quiet most of the time, she won’t stand for falsehoods about the ones she loves.
