As Liam Payne's family prepare for their first Christmas without the widely beloved One Direction star, the Mirror takes a look at the sweet way he and Cheryl made sure to make to festive season special for their young son Bear
Even though Liam Payne and Cheryl separated while son Bear was still a baby, they made an effort to still co-parent as a team - and this extended to the festive season.
Opening up during a 2019 episode of This Morning, back when Bear was only two and a half years old, Liam revealed his plans to join Cheryl and their son for a Christmas meal. Liam shared: "I'm going to go down and see Bear, maybe cook a Christmas dinner and just hang out with family. Yeah, we're going to go down and cook some food and hang out.
Even after ending their relationship, Cheryl, 41, and Liam never had a bad word to say about each other, and regularly praised each other's parenting skills. The former couple broke up shortly after Bear's first birthday but maintained an amicable co-parenting relationship - even living close to each other to make things easier.
