Liam Payne hospitalised with serious kidney infection, postpones South America tour

<p>Former One Direction member and singer Liam Payne opened up about the difficulty of co-parenting his child amid the coronavirus pandemic, recently.</p>

<p>During an Instagram Live, the 27-year-old explained to producer Ben Winston that seeing his son Bear Grey has been "complicated" as the 3½-year-old is currently staying with his mom Cheryl. He added that he gets tested for COVID-19 before visiting his son.<br />
<br />
"I went and saw Bear today. We had a little hangout which was quite nice as I hadn`t seen him in a couple of weeks," Payne said.<br />
<br />
Payne co-parents his son with former partner Cheryl after the pair split in July 2018. Payne admitted that visiting his son is "hard with the COVID thing".<br />
<br />
"It`s hard with the COVID thing as I have to make sure I`m negative before I go over and see him so it`s having to wait that couple of days before you can test so... he`s only up the street and it`s dead complicated but he`s gotten so big, huge," he added.</p>

<p>Despite his son being "only up the street," Payne said the co-parenting situation has been "dead complicated." The star, who recently proposed to model Maya Henry, also noted that his son has "gotten so big."</p>

<p>"He's huge," he shared.</p>

<p>Payne told PEOPLE last month that it's been a bizarre experience seeing his child become a fully-formed human. "It`s been a difficult ride, but it`s fantastic watching him grow into the person he`s become. He`s a really lovely boy and I feel like he`s in the middle of settling into himself," he said.<br />
<br />
"He looks exactly like me, which is very strange. When family members see baby pictures of me now, they say, `Oh wow, Bear looks really great there!` " Payne added.<br />

Liam Payne opens up about struggles of co-parenting amid COVID-19 pandemic

<p>Singer-songwriter Liam Payne got candid on why the famed band 'One Direction'&nbsp;needed to end and the negative effects it had on him and his co-members.<br />
<br />
Calling the popularity of the group mega stressful&nbsp;for him, Payne said, "I needed to stop, definitely. It would have killed me. One hundred percent." magazine quoted him as saying on Tuesday's podcast episode of Table Manners with Jessie Ware.<br />
<br />
He, however, admitted that bidding adieu to the band was really scary at first. "You've got no control over your life. We were definitely overworked. I had no personal life. I learned nothing about myself," the 26-year old added.<br />
<br />
The 'Strip That Down'&nbsp;crooner even added that he tried to gain some control over his life by going to therapy, but wasn't able to open up about anything. The singer even shared that he learned to become a recluse, to avoid the glam life.<br />
<br />
"That was life... I just lived so long as this reclusive pop star who was afraid of people, who just stayed inside all the time," Payne added. In June, Payne had admitted that when the band was at the peak of its fame, he often coped with alcohol ".<br />
<br />
It's almost like putting the Disney costume on before you step up on stage and underneath the Disney costume I was pissed quite a lot of the time because there was no other way to get your head around what was going on," he had told Men's Health Australia.<br />
<br />
"I mean, it was fun. We had an absolute blast, but there were certain parts of it where it just got a little bit toxic," he continued. Late in September, he spoke candidly about the boy band members on Sirius XM Hits 1's 'The Morning Mash Up', expressing why it's hard to predict when a reunion could happen.<br />
<br />
"I say different times all the time because whatever I`m thinking might happen, but it's difficult," the singer said. After forming the band in 2010, One Direction rose to stardom with hits songs such as 'What Makes You Beautiful'&nbsp;and 'Best Song Ever'.</p>
