“It is not expected that their baby will be born for a while, so, they are both relaxed about it. They obviously miss one another but Cheryl trusts Liam and knows that it is important for him to complete his new music.
“Cheryl gave him ‘a pass’ to go solo to Los Angeles,” the source continued. “The pair has decided to be very private about having their first child together as they want to keep things as low-key as possible.”
