Cheryl ’s young son Bear could be blocked from inheriting his father’s multi-million pound fortune until he is at least 25-years-old, sources suggest. A source close to the Girls Aloud singer has claimed she wants to protect her son until he is at an age where he can make “informed decisions” about the money.

Cheryl has reportedly made a decision about the fortune left behind by her ex Liam Payne, who tragically died last year after falling from his hotel balcony

The 31-year-old, who first found fame through the X Factor, died after falling from the third floor balcony of his hotel, the CasaSur Palermo, in Buenos Aires, Argentina on 16 October 2024. A UK inquest found the star died of “polytrauma”.
