Liam Payne, the former member of One Direction, recently made headlines for gracing billboards with his new single, 'Teardrops,' and capturing his 6-year-old son Bear Grey's heartwarming reaction to the ads. In an Instagram and X post, Payne shared a photo of Bear admiring one of the billboards and expressing his desire to follow in his father's footsteps by saying, 'I want to be on a billboard one day daddy,' accompanied by bear and heart emojis.
Fans were surprised by how much Bear has grown since his birth in 2017 to Payne and ex-partner Cheryl Cole. Cole mentioned in a previous interview with British Vogue that Bear is aware of his parents' fame, acknowledging how lucky he is to have famous parents.
Cole emphasized the importance of Bear having a normal childhood and not being recognized on the streets. Payne, who became a father at 23, has spoken candidly about the challenges of parenthood, admitting that it took time to find his footing in his new role.
Despite his split from Cheryl in 2018, Payne ensures he spends quality time with Bear, seeing him two to three times a week. He prioritizes giving his son undivided attention during their time together, emphasizing the significance of being present in Bear's life and cherishing the moments they share.
Payne's dedication to fatherhood and his bond with Bear reflect his commitment to being a positive influence in his son's life, aiming to maintain their special connection and continue being a superhero in Bear's eyes.
