Niall Horan has been in the spotlight since the formation of One Direction back in 2011. Now, trailblazing down his own path as a solo artist, he continues to set the bar high for himself and his music. When you’re a celebrity in the limelight, one of the most frequent questions you’re asked is, “Are you dating anyone?” followed by “Who are you dating?” When you’re Niall, answering those questions might not be as easy as they would be for you or me. Niall has been particularly low-key about his personal life, especially when it comes to romance. But, we know that there have been some lovers in his life here and there (looking at you, Ellie Goulding). Scroll through the gallery to find a list of everyone Niall may have put a little love on over the years.

Ellie Goulding
Niall 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, really, lovely guy.” She continued to gush over him, saying that is sense of humour is huge and he’s incredibly caring.

Selena Gomez
When Niall and Selena were spotted kissing at Jenna Dewan’s birthday party in December 2015, the rumour mill started up again. 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 Niall when he performed on the X Factor finale show. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Selena denied any rumours of the two actually dating, but she did state that she “loves him” and “always has.”

Hailee Steinfeld
They say the holiday season brings people together, and that’s what seemed to happen with Niall and Hailee. Their relationship first started 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. They say a photo is worth a thousand words, and these, along with the constant support of each other shown in interviews and on social media, were definitely enough to prove that the two were a pair.
If that isn’t enough proof for you, Hailee recently released a song, titled “Wrong Direction,” that seemingly points to Niall and their split. Before releasing the track, Hailee went to Instagram and posted a photo where she told her followers she was “thankful for all the lessons, the love, the heartbreak, & the memories” from 2019.
