What’s his current relationship status?
Niall and Hailee Steinfeld first started dating when they both performed on the Jingle Ball Tour in 2017. A few months later, the two were spotted getting close at a Backstreet Boys concert. From there, it seemed like the two were always together, taking trips around the world to see and support each other.
In August 2018, photos of the two sharing a pretty steamy kiss surfaced on Daily Mail’s website. The two of them were known to be extremely secretive about their relationship. They did not post much about each other on social media and refused to discuss the dating rumors in interviews.
For example, when Us Weekly asked Steinfeld about it, she said that “there are boundaries to a person’s life and personal life,” and did not confirm or deny her relationship with Horan. Horan and Steinfeld were spotted together numerous times. They were even seen kissing in Los Angeles at one point, which onlookers took as confirmation that they were very much together.
However, Horan and Hailee seemed to have broken up by December 2018. After they had been private about their relationship, neither side confirmed why they parted ways. Nevertheless, an insider allegedly said to Us Weekly: “Niall wrapped up his tour and had more free time, but Hailee’s work schedule ramped up, so they didn’t have time for a relationship. They still have a lot of love for each other.” It has been reported that Horan’s new song, “Put a Little Love on Me” could be about his breakup with Steinfeld.

Who else has Niall Horan dated?
Before Steinfeld, Horan was linked to several people, though he was tight-lipped about those relationships as well. In 2014, it was believed that Horan had an on-and-off fling with Hungarian model Barbara Palvin, but a source said that they “fizzled out as Niall and Barbara are both working in different parts of the world.”
He and Melissa were first spotted spending time together back in 2015 when a photo of them sharing a smooch was leaked by a 1D fan. A student at the time, Melissa balanced her books and somehow stayed close to Niall by keeping him company while on tour for a few months. As the 2015 tour was finally wrapped, she visited Niall in London, and according to a story in the Mirror, Melissa was a “hit with all of his friends.” They separated ways in June of the same year.
Selena Gomez
Meanwhile, he and Selena were spotted kissing at Jenna Dewan’s birthday party in December 2015, the rumor mill started up again. Moreover, a story in Us Weekly stated that the two “seemed very close and like they were together. They left together, she grabbed his arm on the way out and held onto it.”
Weeks later, Selena flew out to support him when he performed on the X Factor finale show. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Selena denied any rumors of the two datings, but she did state that she “loves him” and “always has.”
Ellie Goulding
He and Ellie were never overtly open about their relationship, but one song released in 2014 pretty much confirmed the two were a couple. “Don’t” by Ed Sheeran is believed to be about Niall and Ellie’s affair while Ellie was dating Ed. Talk about airing out some dirty laundry.
A few years after the two ended things, Ellie told Seventeen that she and Niall are “still friends.” She went on to explain that they “went on a few dates, and it was really fun. He’s a, really, lovely guy.” Ellie continued to gush over him, saying that his sense of humor is huge and he’s incredibly caring.

Journey as a member of One Direction
Even though ‘One Direction’ did not get into the final round of ‘The X Factor, the band immediately received a contract with Cowell’s label Syco and recorded its first album, Up All Night, which was a best seller in the United Kingdom in 2011 and the United States in 2012.
The band started their journey by performing covers of several popular songs, such as Kelly Clarkson’s ‘My Life Would Suck Without You’ and singer Bonnie Tyler’s composition ‘Total Eclipse Of The Heart’. The band performed at several venues together and with the help of ‘The X Factor judge Simon Cowell, it bagged a contract worth 2 million pounds with the record label ‘Syco’.

One Direction weathered the departure of Malik in March 2015, but by then the demands of a relentless schedule had taken its toll on all members of the band.
