The media scene was rocked 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 for what she calls “the destruction of Liam Payne”.
One Direction member Cheryl Cole and Liam Payne were one of the most high-profile couples in the music scene in recent years. Although their relationship ended in 2018, the two stars share a son, Bear, who was born in 2017. However, Cheryl has revealed that she still feels guilty about how their romance unfolded.
In the poignant interview, Cheryl said:
“I didn’t know how to handle this relationship at the time. I was older, more experienced, but I ended up hurting him, perhaps irreversibly. I feel like I killed a part of him, his trust, his inner light.”
Cheryl’s revelations come as Liam Payne has been going through a difficult time. The artist has recently been in the headlines for health issues and rumors of personal tensions. While Cheryl avoided giving specific details, she hinted that their split has had a lasting impact on Liam.
“I just wanted him to be happy, but in the end, I added to his struggles. I don’t know if I can ever fix that.”
Reactions to the interview have been mixed. Some fans have expressed their support for Cheryl, admiring her vulnerability and honesty. Others, however, feel that she shouldn’t bring their story back into the spotlight, especially at a time when Liam seems to need some quiet time.
One internet user commented:
“If she really regrets it, why talk about it publicly? This kind of confession could make things worse for Liam.”
Liam Payne has yet to respond to Cheryl’s comments. But a source close to the artist says he remains focused on his health and well-being.
Concluding the interview, Cheryl sent a direct message to Liam:
“I want him to know that I’m sorry. No matter where we are today, he will always be an important part of my life. I hope that one day we can find peace.”
This shocking statement opens a new page in an already complex story. Only time will tell if these words will be enough to repair the wounds of the past.
