Cheryl Cole Devastated by Liam Payne’s Tragic Death
Cheryl Cole, the ex-girlfriend and mother of Liam Payne’s son, has been left utterly inconsolable by the news of his tragic death. The former One Direction star was found dead after falling from the third floor of the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires. According to exclusive details shared by RadarOnline.com, the hotel’s owner made an emergency call reporting Payne’s dangerous behavior, fueled by drugs and alcohol.
A source close to Cole revealed that she has been out of the limelight for years, quietly raising their son, Bear. However, the news of Payne’s death has sent her into a state of deep sorrow and introversion. She has not been responding to messages from loved ones and family members and is struggling to come to terms with how to break the news to their son.
Months before his tragic death, Cole reportedly expressed concerns about Payne’s well-being. She was particularly worried after he had to cancel his tour and take a break from performing due to a serious kidney infection. A source close to Cole shared that she is protective of Payne and fears that no one is looking out for him.
Payne had previously admitted to turning to alcohol and drugs to cope with the pressures of being in the spotlight during his time with One Direction. He also battled a mystery respiratory illness in 2021 and attributed his bloated face to a “pills and booze phase.” Cole, who understands the demands of the music industry, saw Payne’s hospitalization as a red flag.
The couple made their red carpet debut in May 2016 and welcomed their son a year later. However, their relationship came to an end in 2018. At the time of his death, Payne was dating actress Kate Cassidy, who was with him in Argentina before leaving just days before the tragedy.
The news of Liam Payne’s untimely passing has shocked fans and loved ones, leaving Cheryl Cole and their son Bear to navigate the difficult road ahead without him. Payne’s death serves as a tragic reminder of the toll that fame and the pressures of the music industry can take on individuals.
