Niall Horan and Hailee Steinfeld Pull the Plug on Their Relationship: Here’s Why
It looks like the couple that never went public with their relationship chose to do the same about their break up. On Thursday (December 13), E! News reported that Niall Horan and Hailee Steinfeld pulled the plug on their relationship. In fact, multiple sources claim the pair hasn't been dating "for a few months."
"Hailee and Niall were going strong over the summer but split a few months ago and have been trying to keep it low-key," a source close to the actress/singer revealed. "Hailee realized she had a lot on her plate and her work schedule was insanely busy. She was gearing up for a huge press tour for her new movie," and she ultimately realized they "would be apart for mass amounts of time."
"They really tried to make it work," the insider added. "It definitely was 'young love.'"
Sigh.
Dating rumors first sparked between the former One Direction member and Pitch Perfect star back in February, and by summer their relationship was all but confirmed.
But Steinfeld has been on the road promoting her upcoming film Bumblebee with John Cena, gearing up for its December 21 release date, and Horan recently wrapped up his Flicker world tour and is working on new music.
