Liam Payne and Cheryl Cole dated in 2016 and welcomed their son, Bear, in 2017. They parted ways a year after that but continued to co-parent their son. On October 18, a day after the singer's passing, Cheryl took to her Instagram account to share a picture of Liam with their son.

Attached with the photo was a note that read, As I try to navigate this earth-shattering event and work through my own grief at this indescribably painful time, I'd like to kindly remind everyone that we have lost a human being."  She asserted that Liam was more than just a stage star and that needs to be respected. She added, "Liam was not only a pop star and celebrity, he was a son, a brother, an uncle, a dear friend, and a father to our 7-year-old son. A son that now has to face the reality of never seeing his father again. What is troubling my spirit the most is that one day Bear will have access to the abhorrent reports and media exploitation we have seen in the past two days. It is breaking my heart further that I cannot protect him from that in his future."

Please give Liam the little dignity he has left: Cheryl Cole 

In her note, Cheryl further mentioned, “I am begging you to consider what use some of these reports are serving, other than to cause further harm to everyone left behind picking the pieces. Before you leave comments or make videos, ask yourself if you would like your own child or family to read them. Please give Liam the little dignity he has left in the wake of his death to rest in some peace at last. Thank you, Cheryl.” Several friends and social media users took to the comment section to ease her grief and comfort her in testing times.
