Cheryl Tweedy tugged at fans’ heartstrings once again on Friday night by sharing a previously unseen photo of Liam Payne with their son Bear, as she spoke publicly for the first time about the tragedy.

In the poignant black and white image, Liam gazed lovingly at his little boy, who reached out to him, capturing the joy of new fatherhood.

Despite Cheryl and Liam’s ups and downs, including their split when Bear was just one, it was clear that the One Direction star always prioritised his son, even in his darkest moments.

Speaking on Friday, Cheryl expressed her heartbreak for Bear, who would have to come to terms with never seeing his father again.

Liam’s tragic death on Wednesday evening, after falling from a third-floor balcony at the CasaSur hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, sent shockwaves around the world.

Fans had followed the Wolverhampton-born star’s journey from his early X Factor days to becoming a member of one of the most successful boybands of all time, One Direction.
