Liam Payne and Cheryl 's son Bear had just turned one when the couple split back in 2018. The pair announced their split with joint statements on social media and over the coming months and years, both gradually revealed where their relationship had went wrong.

Cheryl - who turned 39 today - explained that Liam's solo career after One Direction split up played a big part of it. Liam, 28, had dreamed of being a dad from the age of 16 and was determined to settle down and have a quiet life with Cheryl and Bear, five, but things didn't quite work out that way, writes The Mirror."So he wanted to settle down and have a family and not do the solo thing," she told Sunday Times Magazine. "Then we encouraged him to do that.

And then it didn't work out."Admitting Liam may have felt somewhat excluded by her intense bond with the baby, when asked if Liam changed his mind about wanting domestic bliss, she responded, "You'll have to ask him that."

I started in a bad place with it," he continued."I think it spooked me out early on, and I was just worried I would not be enough to look after the both of them.
