The media world was shocked this morning when former Girls Aloud member and British pop icon Cheryl Cole made a shocking statement during a live interview. The 40-year-old tearfully admitted her emotional responsibility in what she described as “the destruction of Liam Payne.”
Cheryl Cole and One Direction member Liam Payne formed one of the most talked-about couples in music a few years ago. Although their relationship ended in 2018, the two stars share a son, Bear, born in 2017. However, Cheryl revealed that she still feels guilty about the way their love story came to an end.
In the emotional interview, Cheryl confessed:
“I didn’t know how to handle that relationship at the time. I was older, more experienced, but I ended up hurting him, perhaps irreparably. I feel like I killed a part of him, his confidence, his inner light.”
Cheryl’s comments come at a sensitive time for Liam Payne, who has faced health problems and rumours of personal tensions. Although Cheryl avoided going into specific details, she hinted that their split left a deep mark on Liam.
“I just wanted her to be happy, but in the end, I contributed to her struggles. I don’t know if I can ever make up for that.”
Reactions to the interview have been mixed. Some fans have shown their support for Cheryl, praising her honesty and vulnerability. Others, however, feel that she should not bring their relationship back into the media spotlight, especially at a time when Liam seems to need some reassurance.
One user commented on social media:
“If he is truly sorry, why talk about it publicly? This kind of confession could make things worse for Liam.”
So far, Liam Payne has not responded to Cheryl’s statements. However, a source close to the artist assures that he is focused on his health and well-being.
At the end of the interview, Cheryl addressed a direct message to Liam:
“I want you to know that I am sorry. No matter where we are today, you will always be an important part of my life. I hope that one day we can find peace.”
This revealing statement adds a new chapter to an already complex story. Only time will tell if these words will be enough to heal the wounds of the past.
