Cheryl and son Bear ‘move out of ex Liam Payne’s mansion nine months after split’ for rural retreat

Cheryl and her son Bear are said to have moved out of Liam Payne’s plush pad in favour of a ‘rural retreat’.

Her move comes nine months after her split from the One Direction star.

The singer is said to be looking at places in Buckinghamshire, where she will also live with her mum Joan.

A source revealed that Cheryl, 35, and Liam, 26, are ‘still good pals’ and has ‘always been welcome at his home in Surrey’.

They added: ‘But she knows it’s time to get her own space. This move is the perfect fresh start for her.’

‘This move is the perfect fresh start for her.’

The Love Made Me Do It singer reportedly had her eye on somewhere in North London but fancied a move further out to the countryside.

Bear will hang out with his grandmother Joan while Cheryl is at work on her new music, say The Sun.

Cheryl is likely looking out for somewhere spacious as she plans to have more children.

The former Girls Aloud star revealed she is ‘considering options’ to become a mum again, as she doesn’t want to wait for the right man to come along.

She explained to The Telegraph: ‘I’ve got a friend who has had two children using donors. Not everything has to be conventional.

‘You can spend ages looking for the right man, waiting for the perfect time to get pregnant, then the right man might turn out to be the wrong man. There are definitely other routes I would consider.’

Cheryl also praised her ex-boyfriend’s parenting skills.

She added that their break-up involved no ‘screaming and shouting’ and that they ‘manage to get on’ for the sake of Bear.

Metro.co.uk has contacted Cheryl’s publicist for comment.
