London Aug 12 (IANS) Former One Direction star Liam Payne moved on from singer Cheryl by dating a girl half her age.
Payne is getting cosy with 18-year-old American Instagram sensation Maya Henry who is 17 years Cheryl s junior.
The pair enjoyed a secret date night at London s exclusive Bulgari hotel last week - checking out within hours of each other.
Last month Payne 24 and Maya were snapped together at the Dolce & Gabbana gala dinner. They were then also spotted partying together aboard a friend s luxury yacht in Cannes.
The pair had first been pictured together at a meet-and-greet event when One Direction fan Maya was 15.
But when he saw Maya now 18 at the D&G party he had no recollection of meeting her years earlier.
News of his fling comes six weeks after Payne announced his split from Cheryl - the mother of his one-year-old son Bear.
"Liam and Maya get on well - and she s a stunning girl " a source told thesun.co.uk.
"They have kissed a couple of times but he is in no rush to date again and certainly isn t ready for a serious relationship.
"Liam is simply focusing on work at the moment and above all else obviously his main priority is Bear."
