The former One Direction member, 31, died after he reportedly fell from the third floor of the Casa Sur Palmero hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina on Wednesday.
Liam Payne first met the future mother of his child, Cheryl when he was just a teenager, during his audition for The X Factor back in 2008, eight years before the pair embarked on a two and half year romance.
Liam had been dating Kate since October 2022, but his most high-profile relationship was with Cheryl, 41, who is 10 years his senior and with whom he shares seven-year old son Bear. Despite not beginning to date until 2016, Liam and Cheryl first set eyes on each other all the way back in 2008, with the moment captured on camera.
Years later when the pair's romance began, Liam reflected on their first meeting and his famous winking attempt at wooing Cheryl. Despite not beginning to date until 2016, Liam and Cheryl first set eyes on each other all the way back in 2008, with the moment captured on camera He wowed the judges with his performance of Julie London's Cry Me A River and impressed Cheryl again, as she praised: 'You've definitely got it, whatever"it" is, you've got it. I thought your voice was really, really powerful.'
But despite going on to reach global fame and success, he never saw his chances of dating her as at all likely. But it wasn't the end of his X Factor journey, with Liam returning as a 16-year-old two years later to try and make it further Detailing how they got together further on Straight Talking with Ant Middleton, he said: 'I went to Simon’s house, and made a joke about how hot Cheryl was. Simon was like,"I know who’s going to be the next Mrs Payne!"
Appearing on Radio 1's Breakfast Show, Nick Grimshaw confronted Liam with a list of so-called 'facts' about him and asked him to clarify whether or not they were true. In 2018, Liam further divulged that it was Cheryl who made the first move on him as he revealed the move she used to flirt with him Cheryl then attended a Christmas carol concert with Liam in December, when she stepped out in a khaki green dress that hugged a very prominent baby bump, sending the Internet wild.
While Liam posted his own tribute, saying: 'My close friends and family know there are very few times when I’m left speechless… wow! I’m incredibly happy to welcome our new baby boy into the world. But 11 months later, the joyous news and cheerful anecdotes of first-time parenthood had been drowned out by relentless rumours that the pair's romance had come to an end, after it was reported that they had been spending less and less time together.
'You're performing later, the song from the Fifty Shades film, it's going to get quite racy... is there a safe word?' he asked. And they chose the BRIT Awards as the place to show the world that they were still going strong, arriving at London's O2 Arena holding hands and packing on the PDA - while even making jokes about their wild sex life
'You know, we have our struggles — like of course I'm not gonna sit here and say that everything's absolutely fine and dandy, because of course you go through different things, and that's what a relationship is.' 'We still have so much love for each other as a family. Bear is our world and we ask that you respect his privacy as we navigate our way through this together.'
'I was worried I would not be enough to look after the both of them. As much as we’re not together, she is one of the most important people - if not the most important person - in my life.
