GettyLiam Payne and Cheryl are hunkering down into parenthood after welcoming a little Bear cub into the world in March.
But, the truly modern former One Direction pop singer, and newfound father to two-month-old Bear Payne, has revealed he’s not going to be proposing marriage to his partner anytime soon.
Payne’s reasoning, as reported by the Mirror, in case you were wondering, is actually based resolutely in logic and you can’t help but have a newfound respect for the 23-year-old.
Liam explained his decision not to wed, saying:
I see marriage as more of a religious thing and I’m not really a religious person, so no, not yet, unfortunately.
We have a baby together! Our love for each other can’t be more serious, so it is what it is I guess.
When asked about his son the Strip It Down singer, who is currently promoting his album in America, added:
Bear is beautiful, I love him and miss him terribly. I can’t talk about him too much as it makes me said, I miss him a lot.
While Cheryl is a self-confessed traditionalist and firm believer in marriage, every relationship requires compromise, and I for one hope the pair, who seem to be perpetually in the public eye, work out their differences quietly and privately…
Pigs might fly. Or should I say Liam Payne might marry?
