Dan Wooton (so?) has been tweeting about this constantly for the last 6 months, he’s now like the cat that got the cream! A lot of comments on SM saying it was PR but I thought Cheryl looked very happy and healthy during this relationship.

Statement from Cheryl
“We are sad to announce that we are going our separate ways. It’s been a tough decision for us to make.

“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.”

Well it's sad for Bear, I just hope Liam keeps being an active part in his sons life.

It's a pretty elaborate pr thing - baby, very little media exposure etc

I thought it was pretty much understood by all to be a fake relationship start to finish. This break up will have been planned and agreed from before baby was conceived.

I do too Watchingthecloudsflyby, he seems a genuine person and speaks lovingly of his son. Hopefully the press let them continue to do what they’ve been doing and be the best they can for Bear

Really Zibbidoo? I’ve heard the beard thing but dismissed it when Bear arrived, I honestly thought they were ‘in love’

I've heard nothing about speculation about a contract relationship, and I lurk on boards like this where that kind of guessing is normal.

A woman who has spoken about her desire to have a family, who has a history of impulsive, intense, bad-idea relationships. A guy for whom she was a teenage fantasy, and who doesn't appear to have the sense to either put a condom on or realise that a baby so soon would be a bad idea.

Why do you need a conspiracy to explain why those two people ended up as they did?

I've ONLY seen comments from the beginning saying what a bad idea this was. Hardly a great PR move.

Especially cats as they've gone so consistently on keeping Bear private. If it was a PR exercise I think there would have been a lot more family shoots
