Liam Payne’s journey from boyband fame with One Direction to fatherhood and relationships was filled with highs and lows. One significant relationship in his life was with Cheryl Cole, a British singer ten years his senior, with whom he shares a son named Bear. The couple met in 2010 on *The X Factor*, but their romance didn’t begin until 2016. Despite their age difference sparking attention, they appeared happy and shared a deep bond. Payne even referred to Cole as his “wife” in several interviews, though it was never confirmed that they married.
In 2017, the couple welcomed their son, Bear, into the world, with Payne expressing his joy over fatherhood. Though Payne and Cole eventually separated in 2018, they remained dedicated to co-parenting Bear. Payne often praised Cole, calling her “literally the best person to co-parent with,” describing their dynamic as relaxed and harmonious.
Despite the split, Payne remained a devoted father, ensuring that he maintained a close relationship with his son. He made it a priority to spend quality time with Bear, visiting him multiple times a week and engaging in regular video calls to stay connected when they were apart.
Tragically, Payne’s life was cut short in 2024 following an accident in Buenos Aires. His passing sent shockwaves through the entertainment world, leaving behind a legacy of music, fatherhood, and cherished memories shared with his fans and loved ones.

How many times has it happened that you think of an old show you used to love watching and wonder what the actors are doing after so many years? I guess many of you that have seen “Little House on the Prairie” and were eager to see each new adventure of the family living on the farm in Plum Creek near Walnut Grove, Minnesota, would love to know what the actors are up to these days.
Those fans who were fond of the actress playing Mary Ingalls, beautiful Melissa Sue Anderson, were convinced she would continue being part of their life through the small screens, but she had other plans.
Today, she speaks of her decision to leave Hollywood behind and move to Canada.
This actress started her acting career playing guest roles, and had her way into the showbiz when she became one of the central figures of “Little House on the Prairie.” Her acting brought her several nominations for Best Lead Actress in a Drama Series, and her fans knew she deserved it.
Speaking of her experience filming this drama that made her famous, back in 2010, Anderson told Pop Entertainment, “I’m lucky that there even was a character to play, because in the book, there isn’t much of one. Laura [Ingalls, author of the Little House novels upon which the series was based and the story was centered] was a quite older woman when she wrote the books. She was remembering the best of her life. The characters of Ma and Mary didn’t factor in a lot. There was a lot of Laura and Pa and Laura and Jack the dog and Laura and Mr. Edwards, but there wasn’t a lot of Mary. I’m fortunate that they discovered that I could act.”
She tried herself in other minor roles after Mary Ingalls, but then in 1990 she got married to television producer Michael Sloan and moved to Montreal in 2002 with her husband and their two children, daughter Piper and son Griffin.
In 2007, the family became Canadian citizens and with the new life came new commitments, so Anderson decided to let go of the showbiz because she wanted to spend more time with her kids and didn’t want them to feel pressured to pursue acting careers themselves.
In an interview with E-Talk, Anderson said, “I really stepped away for a long time. That was really for the kids so they would have their own sense of who they were as opposed to being with me.”
However, Anderson didn’t step back from acting completely, but took small roles over the recent years. Her life-changing experience of being part in a series like “Little House on the Prairie” encouraged her to write a memoir titled The Way I See It: A Look Back at My Life on Little House.
