Cheryl's Worries Over Bear Meeting Liam's New Love

As her ex Liam Payne is linked to a string of women, pals say Cheryl is concerned about the prospect of their son being introduced to his future girlfriends

He’s wasted no time in moving on following his split from Cheryl six weeks ago, after being linked to 18-year-old Instagram star Maya Henry last week, then spotted kissing American model Cairo Dwek, 20, just days later.

And pals say 24-year-old Liam Payne’s flirty behaviour has ignited fears for ex-girlfriend Cheryl, 35, over their one-yearold son, Bear, as she worries about him being introduced to the singer’s future girlfriends.

FEELING UNEASY

A source says, “Cheryl always knew Liam would eventually move on and meet someone else, but nobody expected it to happen so quickly. This has made her have to face-up to the possibility of Bear meeting a new serious partner of Liam’s far sooner than she may have expected, and that’s triggered a range of emotions.”

Last year, the 1D star called Cheryl “superwoman” after she revealed they didn’t have a nanny and were looking after Bear “24/7.” But as she returns to work to film new BBC show The Greatest Dancer, friends say she’s also concerned about being apart from Bear.

The source says, “She’s extremely protective of Bear and is used to spending all her time with him, so the possibility of him sometimes being away from her now she and Liam have split is hard enough, but to know he could end up spending time with Liam’s new love interests is bound to make her feel uneasy. Even though she knows Liam is protective of Bear too, and would never purposely do anything to unsettle him.”
