The summer took 2018, Giveth, and 2018 summer - and we have achieved the first celebrity split of the season. Sadly, members of the former forest team, Leem Payne and English singer Cheryl have officially separated after two years together. After meeting at the X Factor UK set in 2008, the couple became public with their romance in 2015, where Cheryl was a judge and Lim was a contestant.

The former couple announced their division through social media, "We are sad to announce that we are going through our different ways, it has been a difficult decision for us. There is so much love as a family. The bears are our world and we ask that you respect their privacy because we navigate our way through it. "


Liam and Cheryl welcomed their son bear in March 2017. Flash-Forward one year, and Liam disclosed the challenges in his relationship:

They spoke the funniest one week before the wedding. Next week we are getting separated, "he told the es magazine of speculation on his relationship." And this is for me, I think we are somewhere in the middle. You know, there are our struggles - of course I will not say sitting here and I will say that everything is fine and stupid. Of course you go through different things, and this is the relationship. But we go with them as a family and this is the most important thing for me. "

Meanwhile in February, Cheryl hit Twitter to stop the rumors of a split:
