They started dating back in 2015 when they met on set of X Factor U.K in 2008, Cheryl was the judge and Liam was a contestant.

They wrote a statement announcing their split, writing: “We are sad to announce that we are going our separate ways. It’s been a tough decision for us to make. We still have so much love for each other as a family. Bear is our world and we ask that you respect his privacy as we navigate our way through this together.”

Cheryl and I are sad to announce that we are going our separate ways. It's been a tough decision for us to make. We still have so much love for each other as a family. Bear is our world and we ask that you respect his privacy as we navigate our way through this together.

They are parents to one year old, Bear whom they welcomed in March 2017.

Sad! But on a positive note, Liam announced he’s releasing his debut solo album on September 14th! So we have something to look forward to!

And hey, this may inspire some new music from them both! #Positivethoughts
