CHERYL COLE AND LIAM PAYNE – 2 AND A HALF YEARS

Cheryl Cole and Liam Payne surprised fans when they started dating in 2016. The pair first met in 2008 when the then-14-year-old Liam Payne auditioned for X-Factor. Eight years later, their social media interactions teased fans and fueled dating rumors as they post pics together on Instagram. Soon after, they confirmed their relationship at a casino in Mayfair. Not long after establishing their relationship, they made investments, one of which is a mansion in Surrey. The property comes complete with a gated estate, sweeping lawns, a tennis court, and a private swimming pool. In 2017, Cheryl gave birth to their first Child Bear, about a year into their relationship.

Sadly, Cheryl and Liam Payne released a statement announcing their split in June of 2018 via a Twitter post. She reportedly moved out of Liam Payne’s mansion with their two-year-old son, Bear, nine months after their break-up. Even though they broke up, the pair remained friends and thought that it was best for their son.
