Liam Payne & Cheryl Cole Announce Break Up ‘Cos I Guess Love Is Cancelled Indefinitely

We are still reeling from Australia’s own royal couple Tara Pavlovic and Sam Cochrane revealing they’ve broken up over the weekend, and I guess the pain will never stop. Liam Payne and Cheryl Cole have just announced they’ve split.

In the early hours of the morning, the pop singers both posted to their respective Twitter accounts the following statement:

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.

The couple have been dating for over two years and had a son, Bear, together in March 2017. They met when Liam originally auditioned for X-Factor while Cheryl was on the judging panel, before Liam joined One Direction.

Directioners are obviously dealing with a bunch of different emotions.

Some punters just couldn’t resist making this obvious joke.

Liam and Cheryl just couldn’t… bear it.
