Just a few months after their relationship was first reported, it’s thought that former One Direction singer Liam Payne has been dumped by 48-year-old supermodel Naomi Campbell.
Liam and Naomi were first linked after they spent New Year’s Eve together in Ghana, with Liam said to be ‘spellbound’ by the model.
Now though, Naomi has called time on their short-lived relationship.
“Naomi has taken the decision to let things fizzle out. She’s just not into Liam any more and has cast him aside. Quite simply she got a bit bored,” a source told The Sun.
They added: “He was always the more keen, slightly needy one and, as far as she was concerned, they were never officially an item anyway. It’s always been very casual.”
It was previously reported that Naomi was reluctant to be seen in public with the 25-year-old singer, despite them attending the same events. Just last month though, it was thought that Liam had plans to go public with the relationship at Naomi’s birthday in May.

"You can spend ages looking for the right man, waiting for the perfect time to get pregnant, then the right man might turn out to be the wrong man."
