While Bear appears to have been kept away from the limelight, it seems as though the wool has been removed from his eyes after discovering just how famous his mum and dad are. While some children might find it embarrassing that their parents are famous, having enjoyed incredible success before and after his birth, Cheryl admitted that Bear finds it 'pretty cool' that his folks are celebrities.
