As Niall Horan goes public with his new girlfriend, here’s a look at the other ladies who’ve bagged a 1D hunk
The Irish singer is dating Belgian student Celine Helene Vandycke, and the pair went public during Mumford & Sons' British Summer Time gig on Friday
IF you were listening carefully last night you will have heard the sound of millions of teenage hearts breaking.
Why? Because One Direction heartthrob Niall Horan is off the market, after we broke the news he'd attended a London festival with his new girlfriend Belgian student Celine Helene Vandycke.
The new couple were seen looking very loved up as they took in Mumford & Sons at the British Summer Time in Hyde Park on Friday.
According to sources Niall seemed "infatuated" with his new squeeze, and he was even seen giving her a kiss on the cheek.
Brunette Celine is far from the only woman to capture a 1D heart though, so here we look at the other ladies who have made the grade.
Niall Horan and Holly Scally
Holly was Niall's first love and she's been happy to chat about their young romance.
They were together for about nine months before he found fame with the rest of the lads on The X Factor in 2010, with Holly revealing he used to serenade her with Justin Bieber songs.
In the end it was a classic case of timing which ended the romance.
"We were apart for four weeks, which felt really long because we used to see each other all the time," she previously .
"One day Niall called and said, 'I think we should finish because I never see you.'
"I said, 'Yeah, I know. I understand. So it’s cool.'
"I think he felt bad because he kept saying, 'I’m so sorry.'"
Niall Horan and Ellie Goulding
This pair of singers sparked romance rumours in 2013 and again in 2015.
It took Ellie a while to talk about them though, with the star finally admitting what went on earlier this year"
"We're still friends," she told Seventeen. "We went on a few dates, and it was really fun.
"He's a really, really lovely guy.
"He's got the biggest sense of humour, he's very caring, and I see him as a genuine friend in the industry."
Ellie isn't the only A-lister Niall's need linked to either, last year he was said to be spending time with Selena Gomez.
They were spotted leaving an X Factor party together in December, but nothing was substantiated.
Niall Horan and Barbara Palvin
Niall was linked to Victoria's Secret beauty Barbara for several months during 2013 and 2014 and they were seen together too.
She's insisted there was nothing romantic between them though, : "Niall’s my friend.
"I’ve always been a girl who hangs out with boys and I’m not going to change that, no matter what people might think."
Louis Tomlinson and Hannah Walker
Back when One Direction weren't even a twinkle in Simon Cowell's eye, Louis, 24, was dating Hannah Walker.
The pair were together when the band started, having starred in school musical Grease together.
Sadly, much like Niall and Holly, it didn't last.
Louis Tomlinson and Eleanor Calder
Louis was introduced to Eleanor by his bandmate Harry Styles, and they got on like a house on fire.
The pair dated for about four years before calling time on their romance last year, rumoured to be because they didn't see much of each other.
Louis Tomlinson and Briana Jungwirth
Four months after his March 2015 breakup from Eleanor came the amazing news that Louis was to be a dad, as Briana was expecting his baby.
Although they aren't together the pair are both involved in their son Freddie Reign, who was born in January.

Liam Payne and Sophia Smith
Liam and Sophie actually went to school together, but they didn't start dating until 2013.

Harry Styles and Caroline Flack
Long before Liam started dating an older woman, Harry was romancing TV presenter Caroline.
