Bear Payne is the son of English vocalists Girls Aloud’s Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and One Direction’s Liam Payne. Bear’s celebrity status predated his birth. On the reality show “The X Factor,” Liam, his father, first got to know Cheryl. Their relationship began in 2016. Cheryl’s pregnancy was soon verified. Regarding Bear’s first and middle names, fans started to conjecture. Many jokes on the internet made fun of his peculiar first name and equally peculiar second name. Although Liam and Cheryl make an effort to shield Bear from unwarranted media attention, they frequently share his photos on social media.
Before Birth of Bear Payne
In 2011, Liam had an audition for “The X Factor” and met Cheryl. Cheryl served as a judge on the program. A year before Bear was born, in February 2016, they started dating. Regarding their relationship, Liam and Cheryl were transparent. Together, they frequently appeared in public. Even though Liam and Cheryl were ten years apart in age, they were never afraid to show off their love for one another in public.
At first, Liam and Cheryl didn’t disclose Cheryl’s pregnancy to anyone. She was said to be pregnant, but the couple never confirmed the allegations. The allegations proved to be accurate when Cheryl was seen sporting a baby bump in photos. She appeared in a “L’Oreal” advertisement towards the end of 2016.
Genesis of Bear Payne
At the ‘Chelsea and Westminster Hospital’ in Chelsea, London, on March 22, 2017, Bear was born. When he was born, he weighed 7 pounds, nine ounces. An ‘Instagram’ photo of Liam cradling Bear was uploaded on March 25, 2017. Bear’s birth was formally revealed in the post. Bear is kept out of the spotlight by both Liam and Cheryl. But as of late, people have been sharing images of Bear on several social networking sites. Liam posted an Instagram photo of him and Bear wearing similar sneakers on June 28, 2017. The post received a tonne of “likes” right away. He reshared Bear’s photo when he turned 24. This time, he sent a cute photo to ‘Instagram’ with the message “Best birthday ever.”
The Title of Bear Payne
When Bear was born, his parents’ fans couldn’t stop talking about his name. A statement made in May 2017 revealed that his name would be “Bear.” The name quickly became the topic of multiple internet jokes because fans thought it was unique and funny. It was once the target of an April Fool’s joke. An article titled “Wayne ‘Window’ Payne” was published in the worldwide monthly magazine “Marie Claire.” Some even conjectured that the baby’s name was inspired by the noises he would make when he slept.
Later on, Liam and Cheryl disclosed that they had selected their son’s name due to its rarity. They said that “Bear” was a moniker that people would not quickly forget. Before Liam and Cheryl decided on a name, though, they had several disagreements.
Following his initial name, Bear’s middle name also became a popular subject of rumors. Rumors first arose on May 15, 2017, that Liam had said that Bear would have the middle name “Grey.” Bear’s middle name was also made fun of. Bear goes by the moniker “Cub.”
The War for Custody
In July of 2018, Liam declared the breakdown of his relationship with Cheryl. It was said that Liam’s incapacity to strike a balance between his work and parenting was the cause of the breakup. He brought Bear along on all of his tours for a year. But eventually, he found it to be a tiresome duty. After that, Liam dismissed allegations that said he and Cheryl were at odds over Bear’s custody. He said that Bear was probably in greater need of his mother than his father because he was too young.
