  • He left behind a son
  • He had Bear with this woman

Liam Payne (31), known as a former member of the successful boy band One Direction, tragically passed away on October 16 after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires.

The 31-year-old singer leaves behind not only an impressive music career but also his beloved son, Bear, whom he welcomed in March 2017 with singer Cheryl Cole.

Liam Payne spoke about being a father

Bear was born on March 22, 2017, when Liam was just 23 years old. The singer frequently shared his experiences as a young father and the joy Bear brought him. In an interview with 'People' in 2018, he said, "For me, I love making great music for my fans. But when you make something that your son loves, it's the best thing ever."

Liam explained the choice of name for his son during an appearance on 'The Late Late Show with James Corden', revealing that Bear made noises in his sleep as a newborn, prompting doctors to examine him. A doctor eventually told him, "There's nothing wrong with him. He just likes to make a lot of noise." That's how he came to name him Bear.

Liam and Cheryl Cole were a couple from 2016 to 2018. Cheryl is well-known in the UK as a singer and TV presenter. At the time of their breakup, Liam tweeted, "We still have so much love for each other as a family. Bear is our world and we ask that you respect his privacy."

Despite their separation, Liam made an effort to be an active part of Bear's life, seeing him several times a week. After facing personal challenges, including a stay in a rehabilitation clinic, the singer sought to reorganise his life.
