One Direction's Niall Horan 'has been messaging' Love Island's Arabella Chi

One Direction hunk Niall Horan has reportedly been messaging Love Island babe Arabella Chi.

According to reports, Niall, 26, slid into Arabella’s DMs a week after her split from fellow islander Wes Nelson, 22.

However, it’s claimed the 29-year-old model doesn’t want to get involved with the singer or anyone else right now.

A source said: “Arabella was hugely flattered by Niall’s advances.

“She doesn’t want to get involved with him or anyone else at the moment as her breakup from Wes is still fresh.”

The insider continued telling Mail Online: “She’s hoping they can be friends and even meet up once the lockdown is over, as it would still be good to catch-up in person.”

Another source told the publication that Niall and Arabella “used to be neighbours”.

They said: “He’s known her as a friend since then. Nothing going on between them at all.”

Daily Star Online has contacted representative of Niall and Arabella for comment.

Niall, who most recently dated actress Hailee Steinfeld, 23, confessed to failing to communicate in relationships during an interview in March.

He said: “I’m a bad communicator in relationships. I struggle to talk about things.

“I don’t like to let things build up in me and songwriting does help get it out but it can happen too late.

“Also, I’m bad at being a ‘celebrity’ probably because I don’t like to think of myself as a celebrity. I’m a normal fella with the same faults as everyone else.”

Arabella’s romance with Wes ended back in April after nine months, reportedly over their age gap.

Insiders close to the pair are convinced they will get back together once lockdown is over, however.
