Liam Payne steps out with Aliana Mawla: Aliana Mawla appears to be more than just a one-night fling for Liam Payne.
The One Direction alum, 28, stepped out with the model, 24, again Tuesday, hours after his ex-fiancée Maya Henry described Mawla as the other woman in their relationship.
The rumored new couple walked arm in arm through London’s Heathrow Airport and were dressed casually while fresh off a flight from Los Angeles.
Payne paired a black tee and gray sweats with white sneakers, while Mawla showed her stomach in a white crop top with a cardigan tied around her waist.

Their public appearance came two days after Mawla posted an Instagram Story photo of the “Strip That Down” singer embracing her from behind. She also shared a black-and-white snap holding his hand.
Although Payne’s rep told us Monday that he had “split” from Henry, the model, 21, called him her “fiancé” earlier that day while asking Instagram users to stop sending her pictures of the former boy bander “wrapped around another woman.”
Henry wrote, “This is not me and it’s hard enough knowing this has happened without seeing it. Enough now.”
he on-again, off-again couple started dating in 2018, with Payne proposing two years later.
When the “X Factor” alum confirmed in June 2021 that the pair had called off their engagement, he described “feeling better” post-split.
“I didn’t feel good for doing what I did, but it had to happen,” he explained to “Diary of a CEO” podcast host Steven Bartlett. “That’s the corny way of saying it. It was the best for both of us. But it just feels like that. I need to sort myself out. I already feel good, and I hope she’s happy.”
Payne and the Texas native reconciled the following month.
Amid their reunion, the “Familiar” crooner told People that he and Henry had “been through a lot” amid the coronavirus pandemic and emerged with a “stronger” bond.
“We’re very, very happy at the moment,” he gushed in March. “Probably the happiest we’ve been.”
The Daily Mail reported Monday that he and Henry called it quits in April, making Henry’s “fiancé” comment all the more confusing.
Prior to their relationship, Payne dated Cheryl Cole from 2016 to 2018. The former couple are the parents of son Bear, 5.
