Cheryl is reportedly in discussions for a new documentary that would delve into her music career, from her beginnings on "Popstars: The Rivals" to her time with Girls Aloud, and explore her personal life.
Sources close to the 43-year-old singer told The Sun that she has a "story to tell" and is selectively considering projects. The documentary would offer insights into her high-profile relationships, including marriages to Ashley Cole and Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini, as well as her relationship with Liam Payne, the father of her son.
The potential project is expected to generate significant interest from streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Apple, with a bidding war anticipated. Cheryl is reportedly seeking creative control, a lesson learned from her 2012 documentary "Access All Areas," which she later expressed regret over.
Cheryl has largely maintained a lower profile since the death of Liam Payne two years ago. She paused her solo music career after welcoming her son Bear in 2017, focusing on motherhood and television work. In 2024, she returned to the stage for the Girls Aloud reunion tour, honoring late bandmate Sarah Harding.
Recent incidents involving hacked social media accounts have seen unauthorized "new music" uploads to Cheryl's accounts. In June, three tracks titled "Taking Care," "Inner Peace," and "I Miss Who I Was" appeared on her YouTube account's releases. Earlier in the year, a song in Indonesian titled "Yesus Kau Baik Bagiku" was briefly available on her Spotify page before being removed. The platform stated the singer of the track shared the same name, Cheryl Tuasuun.
