Cheryl, 41, who welcomed Bear, eight, with One Direction star Liam in 2017, has sought advice from the trustees of Liam's estate and wants to put the money aside until the lad is older.
Liam died aged 31 in October after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
A source close to the former Girls Aloud singer said: 'Cheryl wants to protect Bear and is going to stop him receiving Liam's inheritance until he's at least 25 years old, if not older.
'She feels she wants Bear to be of an age where he can make informed decisions about the money.
"There are lots of conversations ongoing and Cheryl may even allow the money to be given only in chunks throughout his late 20s and 30s.
"She wants him to still have ambition and the drive to succeed without the back-up of the money — and she's aware that people may want to befriend him because they are aware of his situation.
'Cheryl has spoken to the trustees and the money will be invested until Bear is of the right age to start receiving some of it.'
Liam died without leaving a will and those close to Cheryl also said his huge legacy could be halved with inheritance tax.
They added yesterday: 'Liam may have left £24million but after the Government has taken the relevant tax, there will be around £12million left.
'This is still an incredible amount of money and Cheryl wants to do everything she can to protect Bear and make sure the money comes to him when the time is right.'
Liam Payne's £24MILLION legacy revealed after 1D star died aged 31 without writing will… and Cheryl's key role emerges
Court documents this week showed Liam had a £28,595,000 fortune.
After expenses and debts were paid, the figure was reduced to £24,280,000.
A court has given Cheryl power of administration of his estate. Also named as administrator is music lawyer Richard Bray, partner in a London legal firm.
Liam and Cheryl revealed they were to become parents for the first time after dating for a year.
Although they later split, the pair remained close for the sake of their son.
Liam said at the time: 'We still have so much love for each other as a family. Bear is our world.'

Liam Payne fans heartbroken as late One Direction singer's Netflix show gets release date
Liam Payne fans have been brought to tears as Netflix has confirmed the release date of the late singer's new music competition series, Building the Band. Filmed before the One Direction star's death in October 2024, the new 10-part series will see talented singers vie for a chance to form the next great band sight unseen. Payne serves as a guest judge on the series – which is hosted by Backstreet Boys' AJ McLean - alongside Destiny's Child star Kelly Rowland, while Nicole Scherzinger serves as a mentor and judge. Together, the trio bring their 'unparalleled expertise and personal band experience to the competition.' Netflix finished filming the show prior to the former One Direction star's sudden death and has since confirmed that his family reviewed the series and is supportive of his inclusion. The streaming giant announced on Wednesday that the show's first four episodes will launch on July 9. New episodes will roll out every Wednesday over the course of 10 episodes. Payne's fans expressed their devastation as they reacted to the announcement news. Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one said: 'Oh it's gonna be so hard... Liam.' 'Heartbreaking to see Liam Payne in this poster,' another wrote. 'It's going to be his final project forever. I'm going to be crying my eyes out watching this show.' A third continued: 'Oh Liam... you should've been here. Your post sharing this poster, full of excitement and passion should've been the one where I saw it first. 'I know you're screaming about this wherever you are.' 'Not prepared,' another said. 'Idk if I'll be able to watch.' A fifth confessed: 'I'll be sobbing in my room while I watch.' 'Building the Band brings together talented singers for a truly unique competition show where building the perfect band is all about chemistry,' the show's official synopsis reads. 'The singers are in complete control as they seek to form their very own bands in individual "booths" without ever seeing each other. 'All they have to go on is musical compatibility, connection, chemistry and merit. What will happen when the bands finally meet, and looks, choreography, and style come into play? 'With incredible performances, compelling drama, and one big goal — to find the next great music band —t he stage is set for an unforgettable experience.'

Fans across the world were stunned by his passing and an outpouring of grief culminated in a touching funeral attended by musical royalty and all of his former bandmates. His medical cause of death was announced to be 'polytrauma,' a term which means a person has multiple traumatic injuries to their body.

Groom's shocking reaction to his 'beautiful bride' at the altar goes viral
A jittery groom shockingly fainted at the altar during his wedding ceremony in a frightening moment that was caught on video. A clip of the scary incident shows Gustavo Schmitz, 23, standing with his bride-to-be Pamela Berto Schmitz, 25, while exchanging vows at the nuptials in Santa Catarina, Brazil on Saturday. The couple was waiting to say 'I do' when Gustavo suddenly started swaying. The overcome groom was then seen toppling backwards as the pastor rushed forward in a desperate attempt to save him. Guests immediately rushed to the groom's side before one of his friends, a doctor, provided assistance and allowed the wedding to continue. Gustavo blamed the fainting spell on normal wedding-day jitters - as well as the emotion of seeing his gorgeous bride at the altar. 'I suffer a lot from anxiety, I take medication,' Gustavo said in interview with Brazilian news outlet NSC. 'Then, combined with that, the rush, not having eaten almost anything during the day and, mainly, seeing my fiancée looking beautiful the way she was.' Video of the incident has generated millions of views on social media, prompting the couple to respond to all of the attention. 'We're fine, married and happy, it was just a big scare,' Pamela wrote in a Facebook post. Gustavo did not have any recollection of the fall but was reminded by Pamela that he had mentioned at the altar that he was not feeling well. However, Pamela didn't not take him seriously because he is a known prankster. 'I always say that if it's not going to cause trouble, I won't even leave the house,' Gustavo joked.
