Liam Payne seemed to be throwing some major shade at his former flame Cheryl when he spoke about his new girlfriend Maya Henry recently. 

He claimed that Maya had "brought back my happiness and helped through the stress". Liam seemed to be taunting Cheryl when he insisted that his new girlfriend, 19-year-old Maya, is much more "relaxed" than any of his ex-girlfriends.

During an interview, the 26-year-old Liam also shared that they are on good terms after their break up.

He pointed out that he felt a lot more comfortable with Maya and said, "She's awesome. It's got to the point with my life where I'm like, screw this — it's not worth my happiness."

"The difference with her is she's so relaxed that it helps me relax in a situation," he added. Earlier this month, he had also shared an adorable picture of himself and Maya. 

In a message to his special one, he shared, "This one @maya_henry for always keeping the biggest smile on my face through all the stress and making me realize how perfect my life really is love you all".  

Liam also spoke about his son Bear whom he had with Cheryl is "ludicrously spoilt". The former pair are co-parenting the child though Liam admitted that it is "hard to control" how much Bear is spoilt by the extended family.

According to a report by OK! Magazine, Liam shared, "They buy him stuff all the time. I can’t really say: 'Don’t buy him stuff'. But we were actually talking about it recently, because he has so many toys in the house and I’m like, 'I will literally get him one toy'. Because he doesn't need loads, he's got loads."

The 'One Direction' star had the opposite life when he was a toddler as he revealed that his family had struggled with finances and stayed in a "very small house".
