The 23-year-old star's post emerged two days after he shared his joy at becoming a first-time father, revealing he and Cheryl have yet to settle on a name for the newborn.
"My close friends and family know there are very few times when I'm left speechless... wow!" he posted on Saturday, beside a Polaroid snap of Liam cradling his son.
"I'm incredibly happy to welcome our new baby boy into the world, it's a moment that I will never forget for the rest of my life and my favourite memory I have so far."
Liam, also openly praised Cheryl calling her an "incredible mother", "I'm completely in awe of his incredible mother and how she has been the whole way through this, she's really made my dreams come true.
"We haven't named him yet but he's already capturing hearts including mine. I feel very blessed. Happy Mother's Day everyone!"
Cheryl kept mum on her pregnancy, but fan speculation was confirmed when she sported a visible bump when she helped launched The Prince's Trust and L'Oreal Paris All Worth It partnership in the UK last month.
