As if being the first born of One Direction’s Liam Payne and former Girls Aloud singer/former The X Factor judge/Nation’s sweetheart Cheryl Tweedy wasn’t enough, little baby Bear Payne is set to be the most accomplished 7-month-old around if his parents have their way.

Liam’s revealed he and Cheryl are already encouraging their son to pick up a second language – with Spanish toys.

“They have toys that play Spanish,” he told a national newspaper, “He was bouncing around, it was counting in Spanish.”

Liam also revealed Bear’s helping him work on his own language skills, “I was learning Spanish myself.”

The 'Strip That Down' singer also opened up about leaving Bear behind while he’s on his US tour, admitting ‘It’s hard being away’.

Since the birth of Bear, the new parents have barely revealed anything about the tot, and photos of him are very thin on the ground too.

In May, whilst promoting his new music, Liam Payne discussed Bear's looks, his and Cheryl's nickname for baby Bear - and even their inspiration for the unusual baby name.

He also let loose that Cheryl absolutely HATES it when he talks about baby Bear!

Speaking to French site Melty, Liam revealed how his son had left him in stitches with the newest skill he's learned.

When asked when the last time he cried was, he said: "When my son learnt to blow raspberries, he would copy you, it was funny, it's hilarious. I was crying with laughter in the end!

"It was just so funny because he kept just going 'brrrrrr'. When we couldn't do it he was like, 'I really wanna do it but I can't remember what that noise was', it's so funny to watch."
