They have both been throwing themselves back into work after becoming parents for the first time last year, and now a friend of Liam Payne and Cheryl has said their hectic schedules is putting a “strain” on their relationship.
The source told the MailOnline that the couple are struggling to spend any quality time together.
The friend of Cheryl said: “The fact of the matter is, like most young couple’s with busy work lives and the demands of an infant they have been struggling to spend time together.
“There are the very real strains of trying to adapt to parenthood whilst being in the spotlight and having to appear as though everything is rosy all of the time.
“It is not real life and is not the life Cheryl and Liam are currently living as a couple.”
Liam, 24, has recently been busy travelling the world promoting his new single with Rita Ora, which features in the new Fifty Shades film. He’s also been working on new music in L.A.
Cheryl meanwhile is also rumoured to be working on new music after giving birth to their son Bear last March.
She’s also filmed a pilot for a new BBC talent show called Greatest Dancer, which could be commissioned as a new series later this year with her as a judge, and she’s tipped to be returning to The X Factor panel this summer.
