Cheryl has officially reverted to her maiden name Tweedy

The singer has used her former name for the first time in a long time

Cheryl has officially reverted to using her maiden name Tweedy.

We've known and loved Cheryl through three different names - the first being Cheryl Tweedy, a fresh-faced 19-year-old singing on Popstars in 2002.

She was Cheryl Cole - first-time wife to footballer Ashley Cole - from 2006 to 2010, and then a subsequent whirlwind romance turned her into Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, a name she used from 2014 to 2016.

But now, according to reports, new mum Cheryl has officially reverted to her maiden name of Tweedy.

Cheryl and French businessman Jean-Bernard, 36, were married from July 2014 to October 2016, but were granted a divorce last year from Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini, and Cheryl has subsequently gone by only her first name. Even her social media accounts simply use the handle @cherylofficial.

Howveer, according to The Sun, accounts for her company CC Couture show Cheryl using her maiden name to sign off on paperwork in her role as director, suggesting she's now using it officially again.

Liam Payne, Cheryl's boyfriend and father to her first child, Bear, who was born in March of this year, claimed earlier this year that she would revert back to Tweedy.

The former One Direction star said in May: 'Her name is officially Cheryl Tweedy now, but to be honest it doesn't really bother me, we have a kid together, there's a lot more to our life.'

Liam has spoken about his son in various interviews, but the pair have kept photographs of him away from social media, so fans have yet to see a glimpse of the tot. However, earlier this week Cheryl's pal and former X Factor co-star Nick Grimshaw revealed this week that he had seen photos of the six-month old and described him as 'gorgeous'.

'I've not met Bear but I have seen lots of pictures of him though and he is gorgeous.

'He is really handsome and obviously their child - and they're both gorgeous aren't they.'
