Niall Horan responds to claims he's 'dating' Killing Eve's Jodie Comer
During a Q&A with fans...
Last updated 19th Jun 2020
As fans patiently sit and wait for a potential One Direction reunion in July, it seems Directioners have been busy studying the lives of their idols, Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson.
Things went a little mad over on Twitter earlier this week, when Irish singer Niall took part in Q&A with fans, whilst seemingly teasing them about his own love life.
Rumours have been rife in recent weeks that Niall is dating Killing Eve actress Jodie Comer, and when a fan tweeted she has 'evidence' of the pair's romance, Niall stepped in to comment on the rumours.
Sharing a photo of Niall wearing a ring that Jodie has been pictured wearing in the past, the tweet read, 'confirmed! niall horan’s new girlfriend is jodie comer!'. (sic)
But Niall seemingly laughed off the rumours, replying to the tweet with, 'Confirmed ?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣'. (sic)
As if this wasn't enough, Niall then sent fans wild once more, by confirming he DOES know who Scouse actress Jodie Comer is.
When a fan commented, 'he doesn't even know who she is girl,' Niall swiftly responded, saying, 'He does'.
Of course 26-year-old Niall and 27-year-old Jodie are yet to confirm or deny if they are actually dating, but it appears to just be another fan theory this time round!
Check out all of the One Direction reunion rumours below:
Harry Styles talks about a Zoom reunion
In April 2020, as the nation were in lockdown due to the Coronavirus, Harry spoke to SiriusXM Hits 1, jokingly admitting he didn't expect the 1D reunion to be over a Zoom call.
He said, "I don't know if a Zoom call is the reunion that we had in mind."
Liam Payne send fans into meltdown
Just days later, Liam Payne sent Directioners into complete meltdown when he revealed a number of emails had been forwarded, admitting it was great for the boys to 'connect' again.
Liam said, "We've got a 10-year anniversary coming up so we've all been speaking together a lot over the last few weeks, which has been really nice."
#OneDirectionReunion trends on Twitter
Not long after Liam's interview, eagle-eyed fans noticed Harry, Louis, Liam and Niall had all followed former member Zayn Malik on Twitter, resulting in #OneDirectionReunion to start trending.
However, after further inspection, fans were quick to point out that they'd followed Zayn for a while, making it a bit of a false alarm!
Could we be getting new One Direction music?
Also in April, American showbiz site Page Six reported that One Direction could release new music for their 10th anniversary in July 2020, as well as a TV special!
Niall sends fans wild on Instagram Live
During an Instagram Live, Niall teased Directioners by touching his hair when a fan asked him to if the reunion rumours were true. Hmm.

During the same online chat with Alesso, Liam also seemed to hint that former member Zayn Malik would not be involved in the apparent 2020 reunion, asking Alesso if he would 'join the band' by 'filling in for Zayn'.
Niall Horan shuts down reunion rumours
With July getting closer, Niall Horan broke the hearts of 1D fans across the world in May when he seemingly shut down all talk of a 2020 reunion.
Speaking to his friend Jamie Redknapp on Redknapp's Home Fixture, Niall said, "There was a bit of talk about it because in July it's ten years since the band got together, so everyone was waiting to see if anything was going to happen.
'We've been chatting about it, little bits and pieces that we can do, but nothing in terms of getting the band back together, so for now, no."
10th anniversary plans
Despite many holding out for an actual reunion, 1D will be launching a special website called '10 Years of One Direction', which will go active on Thursday 23rd July, the official date of their anniversary.
The website will go through the band's amazing career timelines, from meeting on The X Factor, to going their separate ways as solo artists. As well as this, a load of old content will be visible for fans, including archived TV performances, behind-the-scenes videos, music videos and artwork!
A special 10-year celebration video will be made for YouTube, which is sure to bring a tear to the eye as it highlights 1D's global success over the last decade.
