One of the most famous and important relationships of the One Direction singer Liam Payne, who died on the evening of October 16, 2024 in Buenos Aires, was the one he had with Cheryl Cole, since the fruit of that love entered the world , his son, Bear. Do you remember why the relationship ended?
The couple met in 2009, when the young man auditioned for The X Factor, where Cheryl was a judge. The years passed and, in 2016, when she was divorced from Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini and he was the heart of One Direction, they became close and in May of that year, against all odds, they were seen with together on the Cannes red carpet. The story attracted the attention of the media because she was ten years older than the singer. In March 2017 they became fathers and, although everything seemed to be going well, the love was not as strong as it seemed.
When Liam Payne and Cheryl Cole seemed to have settled in with the arrival of their son Bear, in February 2018, rumors began to circulate that the couple were beginning to influence the One singer’s ongoing solo tours Direction, according to the Sun.
The couple initially rejected these versions and even appeared together at the Brit Awards, where they smiled on the red carpet, finally, in July 2018, they decided to separate.

“We are sad to announce that we will be going our separate ways. It was a difficult decision for us to make.. We still love each other very much as a family. Bear is our world and we ask that you respect his privacy as we go through this situation together,” wrote Liam Payne, who was 24 at the time, and Cheryl Cole, 35, on their social networks.
A friend revealed to The Sun that Cheryl and Liam were working hard on their relationship but were at different stages in their lives and, after much thought, had come to the decision that it was best for everyone to go their separate ways. .
Although Payne and Cheryl split in July 2018, the couple worked together as parents to raise their son together.
