I'm not surprised so many women celebs hide away if they have to spend 9 months being stalked by paps trying to get pictures of their stomachs.
Having said that, there is more interest in this pregnancy because of the circumstances of her relationship and who she is in a relationship with.”
I agree with what you say. I don't like the tabloid obsession with photographing a woman every day and commenting on her 'bump' when she is clearly just going about her everyday business and is obviously neither displaying or hiding anything!
However, I would also add that there has probably been more speculation about this, because Cheryl has made no comment at all, one way or another, for months despite the intense reporting. Also, in the recent snaps it does actually appear that she is deliberately posing to hide it, which is her choice. Of course, there is nothing at all wrong with her wanting to keep her good news quiet. She is perfectly entitled to do that if she so wishes, but it has naturally created more speculation.
