The former One Direction band member revealed he's taking some time away at the moment.
He said, "But we discussed from the start and for different reasons, me and Cheryl decided I should be away for a little bit."
The singer didn't go into detail on how they came to that agreement.
"It's not unusual for me to be in and out of his life," Liam added.
"He's a quiet and chill child. He doesn't worry about things too much."
Liam continued, "But he’s really well looked after, it’s not something that I really have to worry about."
"It’s difficult to take. You have to compartmentalize in certain ways."
"But, yeah, it’s been difficult to be away from him, for sure. I’m really excited to see him. It’s going to be really great."

Liam and Cheryl
The former flames first met when he auditioned for The X Factor in 2008.
Unfortunately, he didn't make it to the live shows but this didn't stop him.
He came back two years later and made it to the final as part of the boy band One Direction.
It was later reported that he was dating Cheryl, who was one of the show's judges.
She gave birth to their first child Bear in 2017, about a year into their relationship.
Sadly, they called it quits a year later but they remain close friends.
