In 2016, the twice-married star, who was born Cheryl Tweedy, said she wanted to be known just by her first name.
Her relationship with Payne began after her divorce from French restaurateur Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini. She was previously married to the former England footballer Ashley Cole.
Payne, originally from Wolverhampton, has gone on to forge a successful solo career after One Direction decided to take a break in 2015, with his song Strip That Down being streamed globally more than a billion times.
In March, Payne admitted he and Cheryl had relationship "struggles", amid tabloid press reports about their life together.
