Have Liam Payne And Sophia Smith Split?

Welp. According to new reports, pesky sources, and a bit of detective work, it looks like One Direction babe, Liam Payne, has split from his girlfriend of two years, Sophia Smith, and we really aren’t dealing with it very well.

We mean, these two were like the Posh and Becks of 2015 for Pete’s sake.

News of the split comes just days after 1D were forced to cancel their Bristol gig last Tuesday, with it being claimed that Liam was far too ill to perform, however, the fact that he was able to perform as planned the following day left many fans suspicious.

Was the poor love just suffering from a broken heart?

A source who claims that they are pretty ruddy close to the star appeared to confirm the news to the Daily Mail, explaining: “Liam and Sophia have split.

"Liam is incredibly sad, but is going to keep busy. He really hopes that everybody will respect both his and Sophia’s privacy and stop speculating.”

WAH - IF YOU’RE INCREDIBLY SAD, LIAM, WE ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO COME OVER AND EAT ICE CREAM WITH YOU AND WATCH BRIDGET JONES, YEAH?

Soon after the news hit the headlines, a fake Sophia Smith account posted a pic of the brunette beauty with Liam alongside a caption that appeared to deny everything, however, we can confirm that it was not actually the notoriously private Sophia who had posted this.

On the other hand, Liam appeared to confirm that he is at least feeling a little bit sad, by taking to his Twitter account in the early hours of the morning to share: “I love how music is always there for you when you need it most x”, which kind of confirms that all is not well in camp Sophiam.

The alleged split comes just months after the star’s former bandmate, Zayn Malik, sensationally dumped his Little Mix fiancee, Perrie Edwards, before jetting off to Los Angeles - with these two proving that 2015 really is the cursed year of celebrity break-ups.

Needless to say, whether this source is telling the truth or porkies, we just hope that Liam is okay and that his bandmates are looking after him.
