Cheryl and ex Liam Payne share warm embrace and kiss on the cheek at the Global Awards
The pair split up eight months ago
There are very few situations that we can think of that are more awkward than bumping into an ex, but Cheryl handled it like a pro when she spotted ex Liam Payne at the Global Awards last night.
Cheryl, 35, and Liam, 25, first split eight months ago shortly after welcoming their one-year-old son, Bear. However, Cheryl showed that there is no hard feelings between the pair at Thursday night's award ceremony, where she reportedly greeted her ex with a hug, and said "hello stranger" to which Liam allegedly replied "it's been a long day."
Reports have suggested the pair even shared a small kiss on the cheek during their exchange, which is the first time the ex couple have publicly come face to face since their split last year.
An attendee said: "They looked very friendly. They were smiling and talking and they went in for a big hug," reports the Mirror.
"Liam put his arms around her and kissed her on the cheek."

However, Cheryl did not seem too thrown-off by her ex's appearance at the event, as grinned for cameras along the red carpet in a gorgeous off-the-shoulder rainbow coloured gown, embossed with glittering gems from top to bottom.
Cheryl and Liam went their separate ways last summer after two years together.
The singer recently told MailOnline that she has maintained a good, "healthy" relationship with Liam since the break-up, saying: "There's no animosity whatsoever. We are learning all the time. And it's good, it's healthy. We're just like any other couple that have gone through this, but we have a few more eyes watching us... Just a few."

Since the split, Liam has been linked to a string of super models and more recently, Naomi Campbell.
But, Cheryl is less focused on finding love at the moment, revealing that she struggles with the lows that come with being in a relationship.
"I love love," she told MailOnline. "But I have paused my relationship goals. All is well. I'm just going with the flow, but I have no plans to meet anybody anytime soon."
"I hate the lows... I hate the lows. It's kind of one of the things that makes us not want to get into a relationship. Nothing quite makes you feel like that, does it? Nothing else."
"And I know you have to take the highs with the lows, so I'm working on being OK with that, but at the moment, I just don't need it. I don't want it."
