Apparently they've been an item since last December, but aside from a few random Instagram vids and a couple of snatched pap shots, it didn't feel like Cheryl and Liam's relationship was all that real…until now.

Appearing together at the Global Gift Gala in Paris yesterday, the new couple looked as official as you can get as they posed for photographers at the high-profile French event.

The pair. whose ten-year age gap sent social media into overdrive this year, looked like they hadn't a care in the world ahead of the gala which saw the Geordie lass honoured for her charity work in the UK.

Taking to social media in the midst of the excitement, Cheryl tweeted: "Thank you @GlobalGiftGala for my Global Gift Philanthropist Award…and all of your support for my trust. Love you @EvaLongoria."

While paying tribute to the star's award, a lot of fans also made sure to mention her date, writing: "Congratulations on your award you looked stunning in your dress and with such a handsome companion."

"Congrats Cheryl!! U and @Real-Liam-Payne looked stunning. Thank u for doing what u can to make the world a better place." tweeted one while another added: "You & Liam looked amazing!" (sic)
