Liam Payne spoke about leaving his son, Bear, at home while he travels the world on tour.
“He’s going to stay with his mom until we really figure out what we’re doing,” the Strip That Down singer, 24, on Tuesday, October 10 said: “It’s going to be difficult. It’s hard being away, but time differences with babies and stuff — it’s really hard on them. I don’t want to drag him around the world for, you know, just for my sanity. We’ll do it when the time’s right.”
The Get Low songster also said, his six months baby, is learning Spanish from his toys. “They have toys that play Spanish. He was bouncing around, it was counting in Spanish. I was learning Spanish myself,” Payne shared, adding that there isn’t a particular song of his that Bear loves the most.
Payne and girlfriend Cheryl Cole welcomed Bear in March 2017. “My close friends and family know there are very few times when I’m left speechless…wow!” the former One Direction member captioned a heartfelt photo of his newborn son at the time. “I’m incredibly happy to welcome our baby boy into the world, it’s a moment that I will never forget for the rest of my life and my favourite memory I have so far. I’m completely in awe of his incredible mother and how she has been the whole way through this, she’s really made my dreams come true.”
In July 2017, Payne’s former bandmate Louis Tomlinson revealed that he’s excited for his own son, Freddie, to have playdates with Bear. “I’m super happy for him and we haven’t been able to do it yet logistically but I’m really excited about having Freddie and Bear in the same room,” Tomlinson, 25, told ITV at the time. “It’s gonna be cool.”
