It was meant to be the relationship that finally brought joy to pop star Cheryl. She had a baby with young boyfriend Liam Payne last year. However international portals allege that only a year after the birth of their son Bear, the couple is set to split, possibly within weeks. With news of their relationship being "under strain" emerging on Friday, a source told a publication, "It's sad — they tried hard to make it work. They're desperate to make a go at it, but it's absolutely on the rocks."
Cheryl, 34, first got together with former One Direction singer Payne, 24, in 2016. They have appeared to be strong ever since. However, friends say Payne's hectic work schedule as he builds a solo career has caused tension. He is often away, leaving Cheryl to care for Bear at their Surrey mansion. A source close to Payne admitted, "It's very difficult. Things go from being very calm to being very tough."
