Cheryl Tweedy’s heartfelt reflections on Liam Payne as a father have taken on a poignant resonance following his tragic passing. In a 2019 interview with The Telegraph, Cheryl spoke warmly about Liam’s devotion to their son, Bear, and praised his parenting style, describing him as “a great dad” who shared a deep bond with their child.
She lovingly noted that Liam was the more indulgent parent, often unable to resist Bear’s charms, while she took on the role of disciplinarian. “I’m the strict one; Liam isn’t,” she shared. Cheryl recalled how Bear, even as a toddler, could melt her heart during moments of discipline by gently placing his hands on her face and looking into her eyes.
Despite their romantic split in 2018, Cheryl emphasized that co-parenting remained their priority, and Liam’s love for Bear was unwavering. Their partnership as parents was built on mutual respect, with Cheryl often highlighting Liam’s softer, nurturing qualities.
Cheryl’s bittersweet comment that “Liam had Bear wrapped around his little finger” now underscores the immeasurable loss felt by those close to Liam. As they navigate this painful chapter, her words remain a testament to the bond Liam shared with his son and the enduring legacy of love he leaves behind.
