Inside Cheryl's life with Bear

Her ‘funny, cheeky’ boy has turned her world upside down

Eighteen months after the birth of her son Bear, Cheryl officially ends her maternity leave with the release of her comeback single later this month. And while we’re intrigued to hear her new music – and are obviously hoping the lyrics tell us everything about her breakup with baby daddy Liam Payne – what we really want to know about is Cheryl’s everyday life as a mum. And insiders have been giving heat an insight into their world – and how Bear has become his mum’s best friend.

“It goes without saying that he is her whole world, her pride and joy,” says a source close to the former Girls Aloud singer, who gave birth to Bear Grey Payne in March 2017. “Cheryl loves every moment she spends with him – she enjoys everything about being a mum. Right now, Bear is growing so fast. She says she looks at him now and can’t believe there’s a proper little toddler there. All the cuteness is too much for her to cope with! He is a total angel, a gorgeous little guy, and very sweet-natured. He’s like her best friend.”
