In a tweet that was posted by Liam, he explains, “Cheryl and I are sad to announce that we are going our separate ways.  It’s been a tough decision for 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.” 

 

 

Followed by a similar tweet issued by Cheryl:

 

 

The couple met on X Factor U.K. back in 2008.  Liam was a contestant (One Direction) and Cheryl was a judge.  It was confirmed by PEOPLE in 2016 that both Liam and Cheryl were expecting their first child and Cheryl officially confirmed her pregnancy to the world in February of 2017.

In 2017, Liam opened up about Cheryl to U.K.’s Rollacoaster magazine saying, “She is a wonderful, wonderful person and it’s amazing to have someone who can relate to so much of things — someone who’s taken greater steps than me.  She’s been my dream girl since I was younger. She’s so ace.”

 

 

Since publicly announcing their separation, Cheryl’s mom, Joan has somehow became the main focus for the pair’s breakup.  U.K. tabloids announced that Cheryl’s mom was to blame #WHAT?

Cheryl soon after posted a statement to Twitter, shutting down ALL rumours in relation to her breakup with Liam and her mom, “I hate responding to stuff [especially] at such difficult times but I cannot sit here and listen to such nasty, false articles regarding my mam. I don’t know why they involve her in stories about me. I can assure you she has absolutely nothing to do with any of it.”

 

 

 

According to a source, “Liam and Cheryl are living separately and have been for a couple of weeks now. There was genuine love between them, so this is hard. They care a lot for each other and want to be there for their child, so they are focussed on making sure they remain close.”

Either way, I’m still VERY upset about this!
