The Black Eyed Peas star insists he "doesn't know" if his pal has given birth to her first child yet, but is pleased that, after her failed marriages to Ashley Cole and Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini, thinks are going very well between her and Liam Payne.
Speaking on 'Loose Women', he said: "I don't know if she has had the baby. She has been keeping it private, there are no details.
"You know, you have a bunch of thirsty folks and for her to keep that private with all the details is amazing.
"I have known her for a long time and she's been in and out of bad relationships but this one seems to be the one that's nurturing and bearing fruit.
"For her to protect that fruit and keep it private with her significant other; I'm really happy for her."
Cheryl, 33, is believed to have had her mother Joan Callaghan living with her during her pregnancy and 41-year-old will thinks she'll have been a great support to her.
He added: "Her mum is amazing - she's cuddly!"
The 'Crazy Stupid Love' singer sparked speculation over the weekend when she shared pictures from her Eyelure eyelash range with a noticeably flatter stomach.
However, it is believed the photos were taken last year as it was recently claimed she isn't due to give birth for "several weeks" and is currently focused on the work her charity Cheryl's Trust is doing with The Prince's Trust..
A source said: "The rumour mill has been rife that the birth is imminent and there have even been claims she's in labour already but that's not the case at all.
"She's still a little way off and has been enjoying the build-up as well as focusing on her charity announcement which is a really big deal for her."
