Cheryl Says Son, 6, with Liam Payne Thinks It’s ‘Pretty Cool’ He Has Famous Parents: ‘He’s Twigged’

Cheryl and Liam Payne’s toddler loves having famous parents!

While in conversation with British Vogue On the Girls Aloud reunion, the singer (40) also opened up about her 6-year-old son, Bear Grey, who she shares with Payne (30).

When asked by the publication about bringing her child into the spotlight now that she and her bandmates Kimberley Walsh and Nadine Coyle have become mums in the past decade, Cheryl said: “The problem is I want Bear to have a normal childhood.”

“I don’t want people to recognize him on the street,” she continued. “But it bothers him that I’m famous.”

Cheryl added: “The other day he said, ‘How lucky am I to have famous parents?’ I said, ‘It doesn’t matter.’ He says, “Yes. But it’s pretty cool.” “Never miss a story — sign up for PEOPLE’s free daily newsletter to stay up-to-date on the best PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.

All about Liam Payne’s bear son

On March 22, 2017, Cheryl and the former One Direction member welcomed their baby boy, who weighed 7 lbs., 9 oz.

The new parents announced his birth a few days later with a Polaroid shot of Payne cradling her son, which they both posted on Instagram.

“I’m so incredibly happy to welcome our new baby boy into the world, it’s a moment I’ll never forget for the rest of my life and my favorite memory to date,” the proud dad wrote in his caption. .

“I’m totally in awe of his amazing mother and how she’s come through all of this, she’s really made my dreams come true,” he added of Cheryl. “We haven’t named him yet, but he’s already winning hearts, including mine. I feel very blessed.”

Although Payne and Cheryl split in July 2018, the couple co-parented their son together. “I see him twice a week, sometimes three times a week,” Payne said of Bear in 2022. “And I make sure when I see him it’s 100 percent of my time. I make sure I’m not on my phone or strutting somewhere else.” “So I like to give him those moments and it’s important, he needs that in his life, he needs a dad in his life and I’m happy that he sees me as a superhero and I hope he stays that way,” he added. Back in July, Payne posted a video on YouTube in which he revealed that he had been sober for nearly six months after spending time in rehab. In the video, he thanked Bear and Cheryl “for giving me some freedom to go and get better,” adding that “there’s no point in trying to be a dad when you have nothing to learn.”

The pop star also praised her son’s intelligence in the clip, saying: “He’s learning really fast, he’s way smarter than I think I’ll ever be. He’s a miracle and he’s definitely learning to speak at the moment, and it’s a lot of fun to be around and watch him grow.”
