A sunny disposition! New dad Liam Payne rocks a bright yellow jacket in NYC... as Cheryl breaks her silence on 'amazing' motherhood

His girlfriend Cheryl broke her social media silence after two months - telling fans that baby Bear was 'amazing.'

And elsewhere, Liam Payne - who is currently in the States to promote his new solo career - boasted a sunny disposition as he headed out in Manhattan, New York on Wednesday. 

The 23-year-old former One Direction star rocked a bright yellow jacket and ripped jeans as headed on about his day without his newborn son and other half, 33.

Liam was hard to miss in the bright ensemble which consisted of the bright outerwear and funky denims. 

The Wolverhampton native paired the look with a grey shirt, which boasted white streaks down the middle - and topped it off with a long gold chain, which has now become his go-to accessory piece.

Liam took no chances with the sunny rays and quickly popped on a pair of shades as he stepped out of the car.

Clearly loving his look, the former boyband star took to Instagram with a snap of him posing against a multi-coloured graffiti wall. 

His sighting comes after his girlfriend Cherly updated her Twitter fans on her newborn son - after two months of staying mum on social media.   

While the former Girls Aloud singer revealed they were 'all doing great', she hilariously confessed that the youngster had already peed on her - but not Liam.

Cheryl's first tweet after two months away was to promote her beau's new single Strip That Down, where she tested out his new emojis alongside the popular hashtags.

'#LiamPayne (Liam emoji) #STRIPTHATDOWN (Liam emoji) this is an emoji test not a personal request,' she cheekily tweeted. 

She was soon met with an influx of comments and questions from her 6.29 million followers and she carefully selected a few to respond to.

'We're all doing great (heart eye emoji) thank you (blue heart emoji)' and 'Thank you. He's amazing (blue heart emoji)' she replied to two fans who were desperate to know how she, Liam and Bear were. 

However, when asked by someone if baby Bear had peed on them yet, she jokingly responded: 'Just me (confused emoji) I think those two have a deal (questionable face emoji).'

A fan also tweeted her than she missed her, to which she sweetly responded: 'Missed you all too ❤'

It's been a whirlwind few weeks for Cheryl and Liam  since welcoming baby son Bear into the world.

Liam gave a tell-all interview about parenthood and his relationship with the former Girls Aloud singer, praising the singer for being such a hands-on mother and insisting on not hiring a nanny.

The One Direction hunk, who is preparing to release his debut solo album, stopped by the KISS FM radio studios to speak to hosts Alex and Andrea.

He made everyone laugh with his story about how Cheryl freaked him out with her pregnancy dance moves, joking that he nearly ran for the hills when he saw her twerking.

Praising the star's dancing skills, he said: 'I get home from like learning a dance and I'm like, “I can't do this one move where I'm supposed to do this,” and she’s like, “Oh, it's easy you just do this,” then I'm like, “Ah”. Honestly she is a really good teacher.

'I’ll tell you one funny story, when she was pregnant she tried to twerk in a mirror and she twerked once, and I was like, no, I'm out of here, ran, no, gone!'

Liam revealed that he had been letting Cheryl take the lead when it came to night feeds and looking after their baby son, revealing she had a 'super power' as a woman.

He admitted: 'At this stage as a dad, you're in a bit of a whirlwind. I'll be honest with you, she's doing it all herself at the moment because she wants to know what it feels like when I'm not there.

'She knows that I'm going on tour, so obviously she's got a lot to deal with. Which is hard. I thought that I'd get the call saying, we need a nanny for this, but no, she's doing everything. She's really pushing herself with it, bless her.

'We did a rota over the night feeds, and then she was like, I want to do...because she used to wake up anyway. She said there's no point in us both being tired and there's gonna be points in the day when I need you to be on it, so I need you awake.'

Liam previously confessed he wasn't sold on Cheryl's choice of moniker, confessing that he wanted something more classic while she insisted on Bear.

He has now revealed his top choice, saying: 'She wanted a very interesting name, when he leaves a room people wouldn't forget it. Which I think is it definitely does that.

'I actually wanted, Arthur. I think you sound like a bit of a tank -...Arthur Payne. He's not a guy you'd mess around with. I don't think Bear is, either though.'

Liam also spoke about getting in the studio with Ed Sheeran and Pharrell Williams, both of whom helped him with songs on his upcoming album.

And the pop hunk chatted about the best thing to have happened to him of late - revealing that Bear's arrival had pushed him to quit smoking.

He enthused: 'I stopped smoking, that's the best thing ever. Honestly, anyone out there who's trying to stop smoking, just do it, honestly. I just did cold turkey, I knew my son was coming, and I was like, I'm not gonna be smoking with my son, that’s not right.

'My life's not my own anymore, now, it's not mine to decide, so smoking had to go.'
