Cheryl and Liam Payne have made big decision about Bear’s education

It's never too early to start 'em learning!

He has multi-millionaire, mega famous popstar couple Cheryl and Liam Payne as parents.

So it’s fair to assume seven-month-old Bear Grey Payne will have the best education money can provide.

And while the tot is a tad too young for a school bag, uniform and homework just yet, his parents have made a big decision about his education already.

Or should we say, educación?

In a new interview with US Weekly, doting dad Liam, 24, revealed that he and Cheryl, 34, are keen for Bear to become bilingual.

That means they’re encouraging him to play with Spanish-speaking toys in the hopes he’ll pick up the language as he grows up.

Liam explained: “They have toys that play Spanish. He was bouncing around, it was counting in Spanish.

“I was learning Spanish myself.”

But it seems that a trip to a Spanish-speaking country for Bear is off the cards for now, with Liam saying he didn’t feel it was fair to make Bear travel around the world at such a young age.

“It’s hard being away, but time differences with babies and stuff — it’s really hard on them,” he said.

“I don’t want to drag him around the world for, you know, just for my sanity.

“We’ll do it when the time’s right.”

Fans have yet to be treated to any pictures of baby Bear’s face – and that doesn’t seem likely to change any time soon as both Cheryl and Liam have decided to keep him out of the spotlight.

The only snapshots we’ve seen are the photo announcing Bear’s birth in March, where the tot’s back was to the camera, and a couple of close-up snaps of his hands and feets.

Liam previously told The Telegraph: “We’ve only shown him in glimpses. We don’t want him to have the pressure that me and Cheryl have, as household names.

“We want him to enjoy himself first and then figure it out.”

Of course, while we haven’t seen any photos, we have still heard A LOT about Bear from Liam.

A LOT!

The One Direction star has barely stopped gushing about fatherhood ever since Bear’s arrival on March 22, so much so, even Cheryl has told him to keep it zipped!

He sheepishly told Mail Online: “I do get a bit overexcited sometimes. I’ll go home and she’ll say, ‘What did you say that for?’ I’ll get a cheeky ribbing sometimes and I’ll say, ‘Ah, don’t worry about it, it’s fine!'”

Keep the anecdotes coming, Liam!
