cnn.com: Liam Payne and former "X Factor U.K." judge Cheryl are going in separate directions.

The former One Direction member and Cheryl, a former member of singing group Girls Aloud, made the announcement on their social media pages on Sunday.

"Cheryl and I are sad to announce that we are going our separate ways," Payne, 24, wrote in a statement posted to his official Twitter account. "It's been a tough decision for us to make. We still have so much love for each other as a family."

Cheryl, 35, whose has also gone by the names Cheryl Cole and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini during previous marriages, posted an almost identical statement on her social media. They share one child together, Bear, who was born in March 2017.
