Since Cheryl and Liam Payne welcomed their son Bear Gray Payne into the world back in March 2017, the pair have decided to keep their son out of the spotlight, but that hasn't stopped the former One Direction singer gushing about the three-year-old at every opportunity.

Following Liam and Cheryl's split in 2018, the former couple have co-parented their son Bear, with the youngster living with his mum Cheryl in London, so you can imagine his excitement when dad Liam comes to visit!

Sharing the cutest story involving Bear helping him cook dinner, Liam gushed about his son to fans during an Instagram Live.

He said, "The moment that I went over to his house the other week I thought we’d cook a dinner, because that’s what I do. And I was like ‘do you wanna help me cook’ and he literally got so excited.

“He was like ‘ooh’, he couldn’t believe it. He came over to help me cook so I was like getting him to season the chicken and do some stuff with the potatoes.

“And then he said to me, 'thank you for being the happiness’, which I thought was the cutest thing I’ve ever heard a child say.

“‘Thank you daddy, thank you for being the happiness’, which was honestly the cutest thing ever. So that’s gotta be my favourite moment so far.

“That’s something you’ll never forget, really.”

SO CUTE! ❤️❤️❤️
