Liam Payne tragically left behind his seven-year-old son, Bear Grey, after dying from a 40-foot fall on Wednesday.

The former One Direction member was pronounced dead at the scene while on a two-week vacation away from his son, whom he shares with ex-partner Cheryl Cole.

His last words about his "mini me" son were captured in an Instagram video on his 31st birthday in August. “I didn’t get any dad socks yet, though. I’m going to speak to my son in a little bit, which I’m really excited about,” he said. He added, “Bless him. He’s getting so big now. He’s a big boy, and he looks like a mini me. As if we needed any more of me in the world.”

Liam began dating Cheryl Cole in 2016, following her divorce from Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini, and the couple welcomed Bear in 2017. However, they split in 2018. At the time of his death, Payne was in a relationship with Kate Cassidy, who was with him during the Argentina trip but returned to Miami two days before the tragedy.

Payne was staying at the Casa Sur Hotel in the Palermo neighborhood of Buenos Aires.
