Cheryl has said she hopes to have at least two more children and plans to use a sperm donor.
The singer, whose son Bear turns three in March, said her decision to use a sperm donor had been influenced by her age.
“It makes me very happy. If time was on my side and I was in my twenties, yeah, I would wait and consider more options, or wait for somebody I felt was right,” the 36-year-old told The Times.
“You could meet somebody and for that year it feels incredible, but there is never a guarantee because there are so many variables that can happen. Life is a funny old game.”
The Greatest Dancer judge added that she was planning on sourcing a sperm donor from abroad.
“Do you imagine some guy from Newcastle saying, ‘That’s my child!’?” she said. “There’s a lot to choose from and a lot to think about.”
Cheryl shares her son with 26-year-old singer Liam Payne.
The couple announced their separation in July 2018 following a two-and-a-half-year relationship.
“We still have so much love for each other as a family,” their joint statement read at the time of their separation. “Bear is our world and we ask that you respect his privacy as we navigate our way through this together.”
The singers became romantically involved in 2016, following Cheryl’s divorce from her second husband, restaurateur Jean-Bernard Fernandez Versini.
Cheryl also said she and Payne remained “friends”, adding there “can’t be any animosity” between them for the sake of their child.
She also opened up about her decision to go to therapy after her son’s birth, explaining she felt an “overwhelming amount of responsibility” to be “stable”.
“I felt the responsibility to do that and to understand myself. Why did I feel anxious? Why did I keep things in? And all that,” the former Girls Aloud member said.
“My life is not about me any more or my career; it’s about another little human being I’m responsible for.”
