Taking to Twitter, the  former Girls Aloud star wrote, "We are sad to announce that we are going our separate ways. It's been a tough decision for us to make. We still have so much love for each other as a family. Bear is our world and we ask that you respect his privacy as we navigate our way through this together."

24-year-old Payne shared the same message on his Twitter handle.

The 35-year-old singer and former One Direction member, who allegedly broke up two weeks ago, have a one-year-old son named Bear together.
