Niall Horan has split from Victoria's Secret model girlfriend Barbara Palvin, it has been claimed.
According to reports, the pair decided to call time on their relationship, which began late last year, after the distance between them meant the romance began 'fizzling out'.
Barbara, 20, then appeared to confirm the split by posting a picture of herself cuddling up to a mystery man on her Instagram page, alongside the caption 'Early Valentine'.

While Niall, also 20, has been doing his best to recover from an operation to his injured knee ahead of One Direction's upcoming Where We Are tour, Barbara has been busy with modelling commitments all over the world.
A source told The Sun: 'There was no big fall out - things just fizzled out as they are working in different parts of the world. They are both really busy but are still in touch and friendly.'
The pair first sparked romance rumours last year when they were spotted on several dates including going to see The Hunger Games: Catching Fire at the cinema and at the afterparty following the premiere of David Beckham's new documentary Class Of '92.

Niall looked smart in a navy suit, purple shirt and purple tie as he arrived for the party at Chakana nightclub at around midnight, with Barbara arriving just 30 minutes afterwards.
The Victoria's Secret beauty had also dressed to impress for the night out, wearing a chic LBD, leather-trim coat and patent brogues.
After enjoying refreshments at the premiere afterparty, Niall and Barbara were seen leaving via the same rear exit just minutes apart.

The pair's evening out came after they enjoyed a secret cinema date over the weekend, watching The Hunger Games: Catching Fire at the Everyman cinema in Belsize Park, north London.
Despite arriving for the film separately, cinemagoers quickly clocked on to the fact that Niall and Barbara were there together.
It is believed that the pair met for the first time last year on one of One Direction's trips Stateside.
They soon started following each other on Twitter, before their friendship turned into romance.
A spokesperson for Niall declined to comment.
