I see marriage as more of a religious thing
Liam, 24, and Cheryl are not yet married but live together in a Surrey mansion with their 11-month-old son.
Last year, Liam described Cheryl as his “Mrs” but later explained marriage wasn't on the horizon anytime soon.
He told Radio 1’s Nick Grimshaw: “I see marriage as more of a religious thing and I’m not really a religious person, so I know it’s not really on the cards for me at the moment.”
In October, Liam also explained he’s not sure if he’s the type of person who wants to tie the knot.

“Weddings feel a bit weird to me. I don’t know. Who knows? We’ll see.”
Cheryl has already been married twice, once to Ashley Cole back in 2006, after dating for two years.
The former Girls Aloud band member announced she was divorcing her footballer husband four years later following claims he had been unfaithful.

Elsewhere, Cheryl sparked rumours she was engaged to the One Direction star last month after she was spotted with a dazzling ring on her left land hand.
The Fight For This Love chart-topper looked sensational when she met The Prince of Wales at a gala in aid of The Prince’s Trust at St James’ Palace.
However, it was later reported that in fact Cheryl’s eye-catching rock was actually part of one larger piece of jewellery which covered all three fingers.

Cheryl replied: “Is it frustrating? No, doesn’t bother me at all because my focus is solely on this.
“I’ve waited seven years to finally be here and none of that matters, this is the most important part for me.”
