The One Direction hunk has remained relatively silent about his first child, whose name is not yet known, since his girlfriend Cheryl gave birth last month but seemingly couldn't help but gush about the tiny tot when he met fans in Los Angeles this week.

A fan, who goes by the handle Paynelessly, said on Twitter on Tuesday (18.04.17) after meeting the 23-year-old singer outside a glitzy restaurant in Hollywood: "He's great, he's good. I love him and I miss him a lot" - @LiamPayne talking about his son (sic)"

Another, who goes by the handle bigpaynoUA, added: "I met Liam tonight and we talked about his son! He said he is doing well and that he misses him very much -P."

Liam is currently across the pond putting the finishing touches on his forthcoming debut solo album, which he's reportedly planning to drop later this month, while Cheryl and their little bundle of joy have remained at home in the UK with her mother Joan.

The 33-year-old singer announced the arrival of her son at the end of last month when she shared a photograph of Liam holding the baby in his arms at the hospital.

The brunette beauty accompanied the intimate shot with the caption: "On Wednesday 22nd March Liam and I became parents to an incredibly beautiful, healthy baby boy, weighing 7lb 9 and looking like a dream.

"Although he still doesn't have a name he is already stealing hearts. We are all madly in love and overwhelmingly happy with our little arrival. Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers around the world. A day that now has a different meaning to me forever (sic)."
