In a Snapchat video he posted for his 31st birthday in August, the deceased father-of-one joked about not receiving gifts from his one and only child.
“I didn’t get any dad socks yet,” he said. “But I am going to speak to my son in a little bit, which I’m really excited about. Bless him.”
He also gushed with love over his son, calling him a “mini-me” in the clip.
“He’s so big now. He’s a big boy, and he looks like a mini-me, as if we need anymore me in the world,” he continued.

While talking about fatherhood, in a 2018 interview with People, he called himself “Dada Montana,” referencing Miley Cyrus’s hit Disney series Hannah Montana.
“I always wanted to be a young dad, but I didn’t really expect that I’d ever be in this place,” he told the outlet, a year after his son’s birth.
“When I’m at home, I’m a dad. Then when I [work], I see all these crazy things,” he continued. “I’ve been going by Dada Montana.”

He also joked about feeling like a “child” himself while speaking to one of Bear’s teachers in the past.
“I recently received his school report, and I feel quite young for school reports, and spoke to the teacher over FaceTime, and I almost felt like I was the child that she was speaking about,” he told the outlet in a 2020 interview.
He admitted that being a parent was something he had “to learn” over time.

“I had my son at a young age, and you think it will be a magical thing, that you’re going to grow up one day into the person you’re supposed to be,” he admitted. “But it took a lot to find my footing. I figured, Dad takes care of everyone, that’s what he does, so my thing was to cook.”
In the same interview, the British pop icon also said: “He looks exactly like me, which is very strange. When family members see baby pictures of me now, they say, ‘Oh wow, Bear looks really great there!'”
Fans expressed their heartbreak on social media following the devastating news of Liam’s death
