So, now that we've sussed out Niall Horan's current girlfriend sitch, what of his dating history?

Niall Horan and Hailee Steinfeld

Niall and Hailee dated for less than a year after first being linked together in January 2018. Amid the speculation, they seemingly confirmed their relationship in August of the same year, after they were photographed kissing while out and about in LA.

They dated for a further few months before a source then told US Weekly in December that the pair had gone their separate ways, adding: "Niall wrapped up his tour and had more free time, but Hailee’s work schedule really ramped up, so they didn’t have time for a relationship. They still have a lot of love for each other.”

Following their breakup, Niall told Fault Magazine in 2020, while discussing the inspiration for his album 'Heartbreak Weather': "I’m a bad communicator in relationships. I struggle to talk about things. I don’t like to let things build up in me and songwriting does help get it out but it can happen too late."

Niall Horan and Selena Gomez

Before his relationship with Hailee, Niall was also previously linked to Selena Gomez after the pair were reportedly spotted kissing at a party in December 2015, however Selena herself rebuffed the dating rumors.

When asked by Entertainment Tonight if they were together, Selena quipped: "Oh my god! No," before clarifying that things were just platonic between them, adding: "I love him, I always have. He's amazing."

Niall Horan and Ariana Grande

In the same year, Niall was also linked to Ariana Grande, but the 'Positions' singer shut down the rumors, telling The Sun (as per USA Today): "I'm tired of needing to be linked to a guy, I'm not Big Sean's ex, I'm not Niall's new possible girl. I'm Ariana Grande."

Niall Horan and Barbara Palvin

In 2013, rumors started swirling that Niall and model, Barbara Palvin were dating though Barbara confirmed to Digital Spy that they were 'just friends.' 

For those who don't know, Barbara went on to date Dylan Sprouse, with the pair reportedly getting engaged in March 2023!

Niall Horan and Ellie Goulding

In 2014, Niall and singer Ellie Goulding also briefly dated, with Ellie detailing their romantic sitch to Seventeen, saying: "We’re still friends. 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 humor, he’s very caring, and I see him as a genuine friend in the industry."

Niall Horan and Demi Lovato

After confessing that his celebrity crush was Demi Lovato in 2012, romance rumors of course started swirling, though Demi set the record straight in an interview with Seventeen, clarifying that they were just friends.

Demi said: "I think Niall is super, super sweet and we’ve become good friends," before adding, "He's really sweet and it's always flattering when a guy says he has a crush on you. But, I'm in a place right now where I'm not dating. I've sworn off dating for a long time."
