What about One Direction’s future?

The sources of MailOnline said from the article of Hollywood Life that, “Liam and Sophia have split”.

“Liam is incredibly sad, but is going to keep busy”, a source told Daily Mail.

News of the split comes just days after One Direction were forced to cancel a concert for the first time in their five-year career due to Payne becoming “ill”. The 1D singer has requested everyone to respect their privacy and stop speculating regarding their relationship.

In particular, one fan tweets on October 25, “If this is true then I don’t believe in Love anymore …”

The pair began dating in May 2013, but met much earlier when they were students in Wolverhampton when they were younger.

Payne shared how he used to see Smith at school and they would “kind of chat” together. “She was very shy and didn’t give much indication that she liked me, so I just assumed that she wasn’t interested, as well as thinking, she was way too hot for me anyway”.

Payne, 22, appeared to hint at heartbreak on his Twitter account, writing: “I love how music is always there for you when you need it most x”.

Talking about marriage, the “Drag Me Down” hit-maker added, “Sophia needs to go off and do what she wants to do”. Louis asks Nolan, who responds: “Do you want me to tell you the truth?”
