Sophia wrote: “Yes a million times over 25.12.24.”

Sophia first revealed she was dating James in 2021 and the pair became parents in April 20223.

The influencer dated Liam Payne from 2013 to 2015 after being friends from their school days.

Her news comes just two months after Liam tragically passed away in Buenos Aires.

Liam was planning to marry his current girlfriend Katie Cassidy prior to his death.

Kate, who dated the One Direction star for two years before his death, shared a note from Liam online shortly after his death, revealing their plans.

The social media star, 25, revealed in the caption that they had planned their future and he wanted to get married “within a year”.

One photo showed the handwritten note from Liam, in which he wrote: “Me and Kate to marry within a year / engaged and together forever”.

Liam, 31, died in October after falling from a hotel balcony while on holiday in Argentina.

His death came just days after girlfriend Kate, 25, returned home to the US following their trip together.
