Liam Payne talks about co-parenting with ex Cheryl as he admits he 'spoils' Bear

Liam Payne talked all about co-parenting with his ex-girlfriend Cheryl.

And the former One Direction singer confessed he finds it "hard to control" the amount his and ex Cheryl's extended family spend on their child Bear, two.

Bedroom Floor hitmaker Liam, 26, explained he and former flame Cheryl had been discussing how many toys their son already has in the house.

He told OK! magazine : “I find it hard to control that [how much people buy]. We have a lot of extended family between me and my former partner and they buy him stuff all the time. I can’t really say: ‘Don’t buy him stuff.’

“But we were actually talking about it recently, because he has so many toys in the house and I’m like, ‘I will literally get him one toy’. Because he doesn’t need loads, he’s got loads...

“It’s a bit ludicrous really but I can’t help the fact that people love him and they want to spoil him. I just think as he gets older I’m going to have to teach him the value of what it is.”

Liam has been moving on with his new girlfriend Maya Henry as he puts his split from ex Cheryl behind him.

The chart-topper and his new love first crossed paths at the Dolce & Gabbana gala dinner, in Lake Como shortly after his break up with Cheryl.

Recently, the hunk credited the brunette bombshell for bringing happiness back into his life.

The dad-of-one shared a loved-up picture of himself and Maya cuddling on the sofa. He captioned the post: "Sometimes I don’t recognise this happy guy... sure glad you brought him back though."

Liam and Cheryl were very happy together for two and a half years after they first went public with their romance in 2015.

But in June 2018, they let fans down when the pair announced they were going their separate ways.

Since then, they have been raising their son Bear amicably together.
