Liam and Cheryl welcomed two-year-old son Bear in 2017

Liam Payne has paid tribute to “amazing super mum” Cheryl on Mother’s Day.

The former One Direction singer, 25, and Cheryl, 35, welcomed baby son Bear in March 2017. The pair split three months after Bear’s first birthday.

Showing they’re still very much on friendly terms, Liam shared a glowing social media post dedicated to his ex-girlfriend today.

He shared a stunning picture of Cheryl when she was heavily pregnant with Bear, and also shared a picture of mum Karen.

Alongside the pictures, he wrote to his 17 million followers: “Happy Mother’s Day to these two amazing super mums, not sure what me and the little man would do without you.”

The tribute comes a few weeks after Liam, who has recently been romantically linked to Naomi Campbell, and Cheryl were pictured bumping into each other backstage at the Global Awards.

A source told the Daily Star at the time: “They only chatted for a few minutes but they seemed amicable.

“They didn’t hug or kiss on the cheek but it certainly wasn’t awkward.”

Cheryl herself also admitted there were no hard feelings between the former couple despite the split.

She said: “There’s no animosity whatsoever. We are learning all the time. And it’s good, it’s healthy.

“We’re just like any other couple that have gone through this, but we have a few more eyes watching us… Just a few.”

The ex-couple have largely kept their son out of the spotlight, but Cheryl did share a number of snaps of their tot as she looked back on 2018 on New Year’s Eve.

One of the shots showed the two-year-old wearing a pair of headphones, while another showed him kicking a ball around.

Liam has also uploaded a few photos of their little boy, but has always shielded his identity.
