“Cheryl is literally the best person to co-parent with. No stress involved. It‘s very, very relaxed.”

Liam revealed he had a hard time adjusting to the lockdown caused by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, however he is now relaxing a bit more.

The former couple is also taking the necessary precautions, with Liam stating that “It‘s hard with the COVID thing, as I have to make sure I’m negative before I go over and see him.”

Adding that “having to wait that couple of days before you can” get the results makes it complicated.

Cheryl and Liam made the “tough decision” to split up in 2018, but decided to remain friendly, as they “still have so much love for each other as a family.”
