Liam Payne has revealed the REAL reason he and Cheryl split up after the birth of their son Bear.
The former couple welcomed their now 5-year-old son Bear in March 2017, and split just over one year later after two years together.
Speaking on Logan Paul’s podcast Impaulsive with Logan Paul, Liam admitted that having a child “ruined” his relationship with Cheryl “but for all the right reasons”.
The 28-year-old said: “She is the best mum in the world. I couldn’t ask for someone better.”
“I get to take my son to school one or two times a week and it’s the best thing. The relationship we have now as friends has only grown more.”
“We broke up for a reason and now she gives me full autonomy of my life and to do what I do and I know he’s [Bear’s] taken care of.”
The Strip That Down singer went on to admit that he struggled with becoming a dad at the age of 23.
He said: “I like to talk to other new dads. You don’t know what is coming and it’s different. And to be honest with you, it ruined a relationship at that point but for all the right reasons.”
“I was so excited for him to be born that I was actually worried if I wouldn’t love him enough.”
Praising his ex for stepping out of the limelight to focus on raising their son, Liam said: “He is all she cares about and I couldn’t ask for more.”
“My life now is his. My money is his. I have several companies he can run if he wants one day or he can sell… but right now he’s only five so we have a long way to go.”
