Niall Horan Dating Rumors / 'One Direction' Star Dating "Essex" Star Sam Faeris or Back Together With Ex Girlfriend Zoey Whelan

We've got One Direction dating rumors and this time it's not about Harry Styles.

Well, they may not be dating yet but British television show The Only Way is Essex star Sam Faiers recently told Closer magazine, of all the One Direction boys, Niall Horan is her number one crush.

"I really fancy Niall," Sam recently revealed to Closer. "He's a normal guy and would be a good laugh to hang out with I reckon. He looks like he has a good sense of humor, which is always a plus!"

However, rumors just broke that Niall's ex Zoe Whelan may get in the way of Faiers' hopes for romance. Though they're trying to keep it secret, Whelan and Horan have reportedly gotten back together.

The truth is, he's mad about her and when he's in Ireland they're spending almost every second together," one source close to the on-again off-again couple revealed.

Apparently they've been spending a lot of time together in between Niall's busy schedule.

"Over the past three months she's flown out on four different occasions to meet him over in London and be close to him. Although they would prefer to keep the relationship quiet, they actually get to hook up together a lot more than you'd think and Zoe is a regular face backstage at their gigs," the source added.

What do you think is really going on? Is Niall back together with his ex or moving on to Sam Faiers?
