Niall is a former member of one of the most successful British boybands, One Direction. Before Niall, she was in a romantic relationship with Cameron Smoller.
Niall Horan
After their break-up, Niall admitted that he is a crappy communicator and that might be a reason for the couple’s downfall. Niall said:
“I’m a bad communicator in relationships. I struggle to talk about things. I don’t like to let things build up in me and songwriting does help get it out but it can happen too late.”
To talk in detail about the pair’s relationship, she and Niall were friends before they started dating. The rumors started in December 2017 when Niall shared an Instagram post wishing her a happy birthday and called her “the loveliest person on the planet and one of my best friends.” Later, People spotted the duo on a date night in February 2018. From there onwards, the pair were often seen together. However, they rarely showed up at formal events as a couple.
In an interview with Cosmopolitan, without mentioning the name, she opened up about falling in love. She said:
“When you fall in love, you pick up on the tiniest things about yourself. I am one to spread out on the mattress and take up every inch of space. Now I don’t want to do that anymore. I want to make as much room for you as possible.”

At the Backstreet Boys show in Vegas in February 2018, the couple was seen getting cozy. After that, she flew across the oceans to be a special guest at the Brixton stop of Niall’s “Flicker” tour in March 2018.
In April, the pair went on a Bahamas trip and also shared a rental home in Atlanta for the U.S. Masters golf tournament. Then in May, the lovers proceeded to party in Los Angeles and kiss backstage following her performance at BBC Music’s The Biggest Weekend festival in Swansea, Wales.
Later in July, Niall flew to New York and spent his 3-days tour break with his sweetheart. Similarly, in mid-August, they were seen on a shopping trip in LA. Things got quiet between the two after all these events together. She dropped a song titled “Wrong Direction” in early January 2019. Then in early 2020, she recalled the self-centeredness of her former flame with this important line: “On my tiptoes, but I still couldn’t reach your ego…”
Niall also addressed his issues in a more recent interview with Glamour UK. While promoting his second studio album titled “Heartbreak Weather”, he said:
“I used to be quite reserved and sometimes take the safe option. Even in the last 18 months to two years, having a relationship, then that ending and then writing about that, when it been quite raw – I’ve learned a lot about myself off the back of that. Usually, I would have written a quite selfish song. When I sat down to write a ballad, it was always going to be sad and it’s going to be about me. When I started to come up with the concept for this album, I was thinking about all the different aspects of that breakup, from other people’s views, from the other person’s view and the different phases of it.”

But you can also do whatever you want to feel confident, and if that means changing something about yourself, do it. There’s nothing wrong with that.”
