Liam Payne splits from girlfriend Maya Henry after six months of dating
GOOD news ladies, Liam Payne is back on the market.
I can reveal the singer has split from his on-off model girlfriend Maya Henry.
The couple haven’t been seen together in public since December and he has now told pals he is single.
His split comes just months after his debut album LP1, on which he sang about loving threesomes and having sex in a car park — but there might not be much of that for a while.
A source close to the singer said: “Things between Liam and Maya had been rocky recently and they eventually decided to call it a day.
“He was extremely busy at the end of last year and when he eventually stopped, they were both able to re-evaluate exactly what they want.
“They decided to go their separate ways but he isn’t moping and wants to put it behind him.
“He has been telling people he is single and is looking to the future.”
Liam proved he wasn’t going to let heartbreak get him down when he was spotted living it up in Las Vegas at the weekend, where he watched boxer Tyson Fury beat Deontay Wilder.
He and Maya started dating in 2019, following his split from Cheryl Tweedy, and they enjoyed nights out in London, romantic Lake Como in Italy and Cannes in the South of France.
They split and he went on to have a brief romance with supermodel Naomi Campbell, before getting back with Maya last summer. He later made thinly veiled digs at his famous exes when gushing about Maya.
He said late last year: “I’m really happy right now and things are good. Now that I’ve found someone who’s my best friend as well as my partner, it’s changed things for me.
“She’s just so relaxed about everything. Someone who’s got your back with everything. I don’t think I’ve experienced that before in someone, so it’s quite a wonder to watch.”

Makes a Jour tour
IT’S no wonder Jourdan Dunn’s fiance was keen to propose.
The British model looked amazing in this plunging tailored jacket with matching tights as she attended a show at Paris Fashion Week on Wednesday.
Jourdan gave a nod to the city by topping off her look with a lace covered beret, although her favourite accessory at the moment is her new engagement ring.
Rapper Dion Hamilton popped the question after two years together and Jourdan revealed their happy news on Instagram this month.
She posted a picture of the sparkler, inset, with the caption: “Jourdan Dunn Hamilton… has a nice ring to it.” Since then she has shown off the enormous diamond, said to be worth £22,000, at every occasion — and who could blame her?
That rock would take a sizeable chunk out of my mortgage.

Naomi not taking any risks
GERMOPHOBE Naomi Campbell is doing everything she can to protect the President of France, Emmanuel Macron, from the coronavirus.
She is in the French capital for Paris Fashion Week and gifted the politician face masks and antibacterial wipes ahead of her Fashion For Relief charity show in Qatar next month.
She told fans via Instagram: “Don’t forget your masks and wipes.”
I think it’s best they follow her advice.
Sigma back for the summer
SIGMA are putting the finishing touches to their new album after a five-year break.
The drum’n’bass pairing are hard at it in the studio, hoping to get the new record out for the end of the summer.
Cameron Edwards, one half of the DJ duo with Joe Lenzie, said: “We’re working on the second album at the moment. We’ve got hundreds of tracks and we’ve narrowed it down. And there’s a couple of bits with John Newman.”
Sigma appear in the new film United Nation: Three Decades Of Drum And Bass, out now in selected cinemas and on Sky Box Office. They rose to fame with Nobody To Love, their remix of Kanye West track Bound 2, and have worked with Take That, Rita Ora and Paloma Faith.
Cam said: “With the bigger names, you’ve got the brand of that artist but you can end up in their shadow a bit.”
They’re big enough to do it by themselves now.
Harry's on spotty tie
HARRY Styles looked like he’d borrowed his dad’s suit and tie as he performed live on US telly on Wednesday.

Harry, who rehearsed in a multi-coloured cardigan also spoke about his friendship with Lizzo.
He gushed: “She is amazing . . . just someone who is herself and she makes amazing music, and it is feelgood. It’s what we need right now.”

Nad's mad as hell at Madge
MADONNA is notorious for turning up late on stage and her poor punctuality doesn’t wash with one fellow singer.
Girls Aloud’s Nadine Coyle said: “You have kids who are big Madonna fans and they’re out in the middle of the night and there are no buses and no trains and no way to get home. That’s dangerous.”
On pal Matt Evers’ podcast The Truth, The Gay Truth And Nothing But The Truth, she said: “I went to see Madonna in Melbourne a couple of years ago and she decided to come on four hours late.
“Everyone is raging. They have closed the bar then she comes on telling someone to get her a drink, then she’s rolling around on a unicycle, falls off it on the stage, then she does a speech. We were thinking, ‘What are we all doing here? Do Vogue then p**s off back to the hotel’.”
You’ve been told, Madge . . .

Anne-Marie not going back
ANNE-MARIE has ruled out a return to theatre despite launching her career in the West End.
She was just six when she starred in Les Miserables and 12 in Whistle Down The Wind with Jessie J.
But the Essex pop star, in the charts with Birthday, said in an exclusive chat: “I don’t think I could train my voice back to being in a musical. I’d feel a fraud going back.”

Pussycats on track for more bangers
PUSSYCAT Dolls fans can expect more bangers to follow the five-piece’s comeback single React.

In an exclusive interview, she said: “At the minute we’re really focused on React. If the fans love it, there will be more. In the meantime we’re rehearsing for the best tour ever.”
And fans do love it: React cracked the Top 30 this month. But new tunes will have to wait until after their Unfinished Business tour, which kicks off at Dublin’s 3Arena on April 5.
Kimberly, pictured second from left, who performed on Saturday Night Takeaway at the weekend with bandmates, from left, Carmit Bachar, Ashley Roberts, Nicole Scherzinger and Jessica Sutta, added: “Every performance is a rehearsal for what’s to come. Next month we will really focus on exactly what the show is going to be.”
