ok.co.uk:

Girls Aloud star Kimberley Walsh has publicly supported Cheryl following the tragic death of her ex partner and father of her son, Liam Payne.

On Friday, Cheryl, who was in a high-profile relationship with Liam, 31, between 2016 and 2018, broke her silence on the tragedy in a statement on Instagram, where she said that their son has to “face the reality of never seeing his father again” after the One Direction star fatally fell from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires.

Sharing a black and white picture of Liam in bed with his son, Bear, Cheryl said: “As I try to navigate this earth shattering event, and work through my own grief at this indescribably painful time, I’d like to kindly remind everyone that we have lost a human being.

Liam was not only a pop star and celebrity, he was a son, a brother, an uncle, a dear friend and a father to our 7 year old son.
