Last night, Liam Payne and Cheryl Tweedy took to Twitter to announce that they’re parting ways.
The couple, who first went public with their romance in 2015, posted the statement and the exact same time, with similar wording.
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.

“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 both included.
Mentioning their son Bear, who celebrated his first birthday on March 22, they duo both said: “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.”
