Liam Payne fell in love with Christmas after becoming a dad

Liam Payne fell in love with Christmas after becoming a father.

The singer has said the festive season “always felt a little bit hollow” to him in the past, but since welcoming his son Bear with his ex-partner Cheryl over three years ago, he now “understands” the holiday.

He said becoming a dad really reignited Christmas and as he moved away from home at 17, Christmas took on a new meaning and although it was great being able to shower people with gifts, it still felt a bit hollow.

He added Bear has filled that hole for him and he understands Christmas all over again.
