After rumours circulated yesterday that Liam Payne had split up with long-term girlfriend Sophia Smith, apparently the news has now been confirmed.
According to The Mirror, a 'close source' has said what every fan was dreading: the split is true.
“Liam and Sophia have split up. Liam is incredibly sad, but is going to keep busy," the unnamed source claims.
“He really hopes that everybody will respect both his and Sophia's privacy and stop speculating.”
Liam did tweet a bit of a cryptic message yesterday, suggesting he was feeling blue...
No one was sure what to make of yesterday's Twitter rumour that Sophia had deleted photos of the 1D star off of her social media accounts, but because they're set to private, nobody could say for sure.
It was also easy to confuse her actual account/s with fake ones, or more specifically fan-made ones.
One such Instagram account posted a photo of the pair saying 'i love you more and more every day.
Admittedly, it doesn't help that some people are saying one thing and others are claiming something completely different.
There's still been no official comment from Liam, Sophia, or a representative for One Direction.
It's a shame that the poor boy is under so much scrutiny, but his no-show at a Belfast gig last week is sparking even more rumours that this is the reason he missed it.
We just hope Liam and Sophia are given the time and privacy they need, or even that this is all just one big fib and the couple are actually fine.
