Date of birth: circa 1960

Cheryl is very close with her mother Joan. She owes her mum for her career success. It was Joan, who noticed, that her daughter was incredibly talented. She took young Cheryl to beauty contests, ballet, and music classes.

She was born in England in a working-class family. Joan got pregnant from her boyfriend, Anthony Leighton, in her teens. At the age of 16, she had her first son Joseph. After that Anthony and Joan tied a knot. They had two more kids, Andrew and Gillian, before their split. At the age of 21, Joan met another man – Garry Tweedy, Cheryl’s dad.

Andrew is a son of Cheryl’s mother Joan Callaghan and her former husband Anthony Leighton. He was 14, when he learned, that Garry Tweedy, the man, whom he considered as his dad, actually was not blood-related to him.

That had a bad impact on the teenager and caused lots of troubles in his life. He tried to stay with his stepfather Garry, but the latter one had an affair with another woman, so Andrew lost soul connection with him. He started to use drugs, was involved in theft and finally stabbed a person in a fight. For that, he was imprisoned for 6 years.

After prison, he settled in Heaton, England, but not for long. Soon he committed a crime again and one more time appeared behind the bars. Cheryl tried to save him, but couldn’t. “I had gone too far”, he said. 

In 2013 he was imprisoned for 6 years.

Gillian Leighton (older half-sister)

Date of birth: 1979

Like her younger brother Andrew, Gillian accepted the truth about her biological father painfully, too. At first, she ran from home, resided with her friend and took drugs. Later she found her real dad Anthony Leighton and established communication with him.

Fortunately, she got back on the right track. Gillian reconciled with her mother and sister Cheryl. As of now, she is a housewife and full-time mother. 

Gillian doesn’t like to post her pictures online. Her face resembles Cheryl’s, but she is not a fashionista and prefers to wear sports suits in her everyday life. She doesn’t like to do makeup, too.
