A friend claimed to MailOnline that she has promised that their child will never forget his father. Friends of the singer told the news outlet that Cheryl is “dreadfully sad”.
They added: “She has her own grief, but she also has a little boy who won’t see his daddy again, and that is just heartbreaking.” The insider said that while Cheryl and Liam split in 2018, they “bonded” over their mutual love for their son.
Cheryl shared a tribute to Liam after his death on Instagram, telling fans she has to “face the reality of never seeing his father again”. She posted a black and white picture of Payne in bed with his son.
She said: “As I try to navigate this earth shattering event, and work through my own grief at this indescribably painful time, I’d like to kindly remind everyone that we have lost a human being.
“Liam was not only a pop star and celebrity, he was a son, a brother, an uncle, a dear friend and a father to our 7 year old son. A son that now has to face the reality of never seeing his father again.”
The former couple seemed to be on good terms before Liam’s death, as he constantly praised his ex-girlfriend for being the “best mum in the world”.
Liam’s funeral was also attended by his girlfriend Kate Cassidy. Kate flew with Liam to Buenos Aires in October, but she was not with him at the time of his death, as she had flown home just days before he died.
