Although he missed his little guy's birthday, he did share a sweet post on his Instagram account in honor of the big day. "Can’t believe my little man is one today, where does the time go?" the singer wrote alongside this cute photo of him and his baby's hand. "Happy birthday son you’re my world."

The singer shares the baby boy with his girlfriend of two years, Cheryl. But it's reported things are rocky between the couple because of Liam's constant traveling for work.

"Cheryl has always understood he would have to work hard and be absent but the reality is that it's not an easy thing to deal with. This relationship is hanging by a thread. Both of them are devastated," an insider recently dished. So leaving her alone on Bear's birthday couldn't be good for the rocky couple.
