Cheryl is allegedly putting so much pressure on herself about having a second baby since she will soon turn 40 years old.

In its Dec. 12 issue, Heat UK claimed that Cheryl wants to give her son Bear a little sibling. And if it were only up to her, she wants her baby daddy to still be Liam Payne. However, the co-parents split a long time ago.

“As excited as she is for the fun-filled Christmas with her son Bear, there’s also a sense of trepidation about the coming year for Cheryl. When the clock hits 2023, she’s not sure she’s going to be in a celebratory mood,” the source said.

The insider added that Cheryl wants to do something more fulfilling with her life especially now that she’s getting older.

“Cheryl’s been overwhelmed with a sense of trying to do something more fulfilling with her life, particularly after the death of Sarah Harding last year, which has really made her re-evaluate everything. She knows she’s potentially running out of time and she’s struggling with the idea that another baby may not be in her future,” the source said.

In the past, Cheryl revealed that she has been looking for a viable sperm donor that can help her conceive. The artist admitted that if she was younger, she would’ve waited until she found the right person to have a baby with. Unfortunately, time isn’t really on her side.

“She knows she could have another baby but it’s so not how she imagined her family to be. She never thought she would be doing this alone, but she’s given up on Liam. She is always going to try and support him, so Bear has the best dad. But she’s had it with all the girls and the partying,” the source said.

While it is true that Cheryl wants to have a baby, there’s no indication that she’s putting pressure on herself because of her age. It is important to note that a lot of celebrities in their 40s are still able to conceive naturally.

And if Cheryl could no longer conceive her second baby, she has other options that she could try like IVF or even adoption.

At the end of the day, there’s no proof that the singer is pressuring herself too much to have a baby.
