"Cheryl's had so many years out of the spotlight and now she's ready to step back into it," a source claims to Heat magazine, going on to allege the Promise This hitmaker has a few projected lined up alongside the upcoming Girls Aloud reunion. The source claims Cheryl has "her heart set on acting" and is already working on a book, after taking inspiration from the likes of Britney Spears and Coleen Rooney who both recently released memoirs.
When it comes to love, things aren't as simple to plan - with Cheryl reportedly "frustrated with her situation" at times. The source claims the Crazy Stupid Love singer finds it hard to meet single men and struggles with feelings of insecurity and a fear of "getting hurt again".
Cheryl's ex Liam caused major issues for her last year thanks to his tell-all appearance on Logan Paul's podcast, during which the former One Direction singer revealed intimate details about his ex-girlfriend and the birth of their son Bear. As he spoke to YouTuber Logan, Liam claimed son Bear's arrival into the world 'ruined' his relationship with Cheryl.
"To be honest with you, it ruined a relationship at that point – but for all the right reasons," Liam explained as he recalled his son's birth. "We broke up for a reason and now she gives me full autonomy over my life and I know he [Bear] is taken care of". Liam also went into detail about the Girls Aloud star's labour with their son, alleging she had "haemorrhaged".
Cheryl hasn't publicly dated anyone since she split from Liam just months on from giving birth to Bear but she is said to be hopeful her big career comeback might help move things along in her love life - with the source claiming "new opportunities" at work could see Cheryl introduced to new people.
However, Cheryl is said to still be wary of fully opening up to another man. "She knows she might be sabotaging herself but she won't risk getting hurt again," the source alleges. "She wants the right relationship with the right man."
