Liam Payne sparked rumours he’s back with his stunning ex Maya Henry after pair spotted on date
LIAM Payne has been spotted cosying up to his former fiancée, The Sun can reveal.
The One Direction star was with American model Maya Henry, 21, at a plush poolside bar in upmarket Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire.
Liam, 27, wooed Maya with a £3million engagement ring during the first lockdown back in August 2020.
But he then announced the pair had ended their ten-month engagement saying he needed to “work on” himself and admitting his actions were “hurting people”.
But it looked like Liam was off Maya’s naughty list as the old flames sipped cocktails at the exclusive Crazy Bear Hotel pool area before they whizzed off with two male pals in his Rolls-Royce on Sunday.
One onlooker said: “They were touching each other all the time. Stroking arms and flirting. I’d say it was heavy petting. He even had his arm around her at one point.
“They didn’t kiss but they were sat right out in the open and it wasn’t like they were hiding the fact they were together from what I could see. They didn’t seem to care who saw them. Then they left together.”
I just need to work on myself before I put myself on to somebody else
Texas-born Maya has walked the runway for couture brands Dolce & Gabbana and Rami Kadi.
The pair were first linked back in August 2018, shortly after Liam’s high- profile split from Cheryl, 38. The couple share son Bear, four.
Revealing his split from Maya in June, Liam said: “I feel like more than anything at this point, I’m more disappointed in myself that I keep on hurting people.
“That annoys me. I’ve just not been very good at relationships. And I know what my pattern of things is with relationships at this point.
“I’m just not very good at them so I just need to work on myself before I put myself on to somebody else.”

When asked if he’d been drinking in lockdown, the former One Direction star replied: “No, I’ve been sober just over a month now, I think it is.”
At the time of the split we revealed how the dad of one had been making up for the lost time he had to spend away from Bear when he was away touring.
A source told The Sun: “Liam just wants to spend more time with his son Bear since the split. That’s his boy, he means the world to him.”
