The 35-year-old star told The Sunday Times Style magazine that pregnancy and motherhood have made her a different person, and said: "My whole body, even my face, everything's changed since Bear was born."
The Love Made Me Do It singer added: "But I feel like I'm better than who I was. I don't care what my body looks like in that respect. I'm not obsessive about it. I created a life! I'm amazed by myself.
"And I'm kinder to myself because of it. I focus less on my insecurities because they're so much less relevant."
Showering praise on her 19-month-old son with ex Liam Payne, Cheryl gushed: "My heart's full, I'm fulfilled. I'm not looking for anything any more. I'm whole. I've got the man of my dreams."
Fans recently quizzed Cheryl online about her changed appearance after photos emerged from her first interview on Capital FM on Friday – which coincided with the release of her new music video.
She said that she "still had a pillow crease" on her cheek and slept badly the night before.
Cheryl tweeted: "Still had a pillow crease on my face this morning for my @CapitalOfficial interview guess that’s what happens when you go to sleep at 2 and wake up at 5:30 thanks everyone who joined me. Love you all."
Her comeback follows a four year music hiatus, during which time she divorced Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini and split from Liam Payne, and she admitted her experiences have made her a "different" woman.
She added to Style magazine: "You're looking at a completely different person. You really are.
"I feel like I've had two lives. Me before Bear and me with Bear. I've always had shyness and that's gone. I was always floating around just not sure of anything, and now I'm certain. I feel like a woman now."
The star also admitted her ex Liam found it difficult switching between fatherhood and his pop star career.
She said: "He wanted to settle down and have a family and not do the solo thing. Then (I) encouraged him to do that and then it didn't work out.
Cheryl said it was "hard" for Liam having "two lives" and said: "You have to switch your head onto pop star and then switch it back to daddy."
Meanwhile, the singer has courted three surnames, including her maiden name Tweedy, and married names Cole and Fernandez-Versini, and she admitted she doesn't know which one will stick.
The single star said: "Honest to God, I don't know, I've had too many surnames. That's just the crazy choices I've made along the way."
