While he is thankful to have a career in music, One Direction‘s Liam Payne says it’s a tale of a doubled edged sword because he can often go weeks without seeing his 2 year old son Bear. who he shares with ex-girlfriend Cheryl Cole. Speaking on BBC’s One Show on Friday, October 18th, he said:

“Loads of random things happen with kids all the time. Like if he’s not very well, sometimes you miss dates and things. Then a couple of weeks go by, and I haven’t seen him in ages.”

The star, 26, is currently on a promotional tour and admits that he’s going to have to try and work out a schedule that’ll work around him being able to see his son.

‘It is difficult being on the road, going out and promo-ing. It has been hard to get home and see him. It hurts, it’s horrible, I do want to go out on tour, I’m just going to have to figure out the schedule properly.”
