One Direction Harry embarked on secret steamy romance with US air hostess
HARRY Styles has been in a secret relationship with US air hostess Megan Smith.
Megan, 24, met the One Direction heart-throb in the summer as she worked as a private jet air stewardess during the band’s On The Road Again tour.
They kept their romance under wraps despite a series of trysts as Harry travelled across America and Europe between June and October.
Their relationship got more serious after the band’s split, with 22-year-old Harry telling Megan, 24, she was “his girlfriend.”
A friend said: “Harry and Megan first met on the plane when she was hired as one of One Direction’s private air hostesses.
“They really bonded on the plane and things turned romantic quickly. They went on a number of dates and hit it off.
“But unlike many of Harry’s flings, this actually got really serious. He supported Megan through some tough times in her life and started referring to her as his girlfriend.
“Megan never asked him about other women because she accepted he was a rock star but she was madly in love and believed Harry felt the same.”
Megan, who is also a yoga instructor, visited London earlier this year and the pair were due to meet again later this month.
Her Instagram page includes a picture of her at 1D’s concert at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey in August.
She wrote: “I toured with the boys for three months. They were the absolute best.”
But Harry called off the romance after hearing of plans for 1D fans to reveal the relationship in a book.
His concern grew after a saucy picture Megan had sent him on text message was circulated.
A friend said: “Harry started hearing there was a chance the relationship would go public and he decided it was the right time to end things.”
It coincided with him getting close again to ex-girlfriend Kendall Jenner, 20, a member of the Kardashian clan.
They holidayed at Christmas.
In January The Sun on Sunday told how Harry also had a brief fling with fashion stylist Pandora Lennard, 27.
Megan said yesterday: “I have nothing to say at this stage.”
A source close to Harry said: “This is a private matter.”
