Cheryl, son Bear mark first Father's Day without Liam Payne

Cheryl and her son, Bear, spent this year’s Father’s Day without Liam Payne.

During this time, which undeniably must be incredibly difficult for the two, the singer and single mother has chosen to stay silent over the pain.

Marking the annual day for the first time since the One Direction star’s tragic demise, she opted to stay away from limelight.

The Fight For This Love crooner’ first and foremost priority is her eight-year-old son and the two of them have remained out of sight mainly since October 16, 2024, when Liam fell to his demise from a third-floor hotel room balcony.

Maintaining her absence on social media as well, her last post was a photograph of Liam lying in bed with baby Bear, which was taken weeks after Cheryl gave birth to him.

The black and white image was accompanied by a simple caption, a heartbreak emoji, as Cheryl struggled to put her pain into words.

Liam and Cheryl welcomed Bear in 2017, a year after they revealed their relationship to the public, however, parted ways in 2018.

In 2021, the History singer praised his ex-wife as "the best person to co-parent with", telling Glamour there was "no stress involved. It's very, very relaxed, and we spend a lot of time on FaceTime."
