Liam Payne's admitted he has no plans on giving up his hectic lifestyle despite there being a 'risk' he'll miss important milestones in his son Bear's life.
Revealing that his baby's now started to say 'dad' while he's away promoting his solo music, Liam's claimed he 'can build something for [Bear] to have' through hard work 'right this second.'
Chatting to* The National*, Liam said: "He just started saying 'da-dad', which is just the cutest thing. Being a father is grounding.
"You realise that you are not working hard to improve things just for yourself, but for them as well," he continued.
"I realise I can build something for him to have, as long as I work as hard as I can right this second. So I’ve got to hit the ground running.
"Unfortunately, it’s a risk that I will miss out on certain things. I am aware of that, but it’s important for me that I carry on and make this right for him."

This all comes after Liam recently opened up about his relationship 'struggles' with Cheryl amid seemingly-incessant split rumours. He told ES Magazine: "You know, we have our struggles, like of course I’m not gonna sit here and say that everything’s absolutely fine and dandy, because of course you go through different things, and that’s what a relationship is.
"But we go through them together as a family and that’s the most important thing for me."
