Are Niall Horan & Hailee Steinfeld Dating? She Responds

Hailee Steinfeld is addressing rumors that she and Niall Horan are an item.

The 21-year-old “Let Me Go” singer and the “Slow Hands” crooner, 24, have recently been the subject of dating speculation.

Niall gushed about Hailee on her birthday last month, captioning a cute photo of them, “Happy birthday to the loveliest person on the planet and one of my best friends. Have no idea what the hell is going on in this photo. Love ya hails.”

Hailee replied, “I don’t either but it makes me really happy. Thank you niall james.”

“I feel so lucky that [my fans] care enough about me to know what I’m doing every second of every day, but I think that sometimes it’s hard for people in general to realize that there are boundaries to a person’s life and personal life,” Hailee told Us Weekly earlier this week on the red carpet at Lip Sync Battle Live: A Michael Jackson Celebration.

“I am a very private person,” she added. “I do love that I have the opportunity to share with them what I’m comfortable with and they’re there to listen and support me.”

The outlet also reports that the two were spotted together at London’s West End production of Hamilton earlier this month, and that he attended her older brother Griffin‘s birthday party, according to Griffin‘s Instagram Story.
