Cheryl Says She's the 'Strict' Parent Compared to Ex Liam Payne: He's 'Much Softer Than Me'

Cheryl and Liam Payne are proof that successful co-parenting is totally possible — even after a split.

Despite their breakup last summer after three years of dating, the former Girls Aloud member, 35, told The Telegraph on Tuesday that she and Payne have “made the best of everything” for the sake of their 2-year-old son, Bear Grey.

Cheryl revealed that even in the aftermath of the split, the singers have a “responsibility to keep things settled and happy,” which is exactly what they’ve done. But the former X Factor judge also confessed that she and Payne, 25, have very different parenting styles.

“I’m the strict one; Liam isn’t,” she said. “I’ll be the one saying, ‘Just one square of chocolate,’ but Bear is so good. If I get cross with him he puts his little hands on my face and looks into my eyes to see if I’m deadly serious or a tiny bit cross, and it melts my heart. [Liam is] much softer than me. But it is what it is, and I’m okay about it.”
