Liam Payne seems to have rekindled his romance with his ex-fiancee Maya Henry, news outlets reported on Tuesday, July 27 after the pair were pictured on a date in Buckinghamshire. The news comes as somewhat of a pleasant shock since the singer had earlier said in June that he had broken off his engagement to the model ten months after proposing to her with a $4 million ring.

More recently, the One Direction singer shared a series of cryptic stories on Instagram, making his fans wonder if he is okay. Payne had reached out to his former fiancee on Instagram on a Sunday morning earlier this month, sharing a post about not 'letting go' of loved ones.

Payne and Henry were first rumored to be together in August 2018 and in 2019 they confirmed their relationship before breaking up in June 2021. Payne previously dated 'Girls Aloud' singer Cheryl between 2016 and 2018. They share a son, Bear, who was born in March 2017.



 

Is Liam Payne back with Maya Henry?

The musician was photographed with his former lover at a posh poolside bar in Beaconsfield's affluent district, according to images acquired by The Sun. Witnesses told the publication that the couple reconnected over cocktails at the upscale Crazy Bear Hotel before jetting off in Liam's Rolls-Royce with two men.

"They were touching each other all the time. Stroking arms and flirting. I’d say it was heavy petting. He even had his arm around her at one point," a source said to the newspaper. "They didn’t kiss but they were sat right out in the open and it wasn’t like they were ­hiding the fact they were together from what I could see. They didn’t seem to care who saw them. Then they left together."



 

The photos come weeks after Payne reached out to Henry via Instagram stories. The singer posted a series of photos before tagging his ex and saying, "I love you." In another photo, he had said, "Don't let someone go if you really want to love them even if you have to learn to love them through your own mistakes let your instinct tell you that you need them and keep them close we are always running out of time we never gain it." Following up with another post, he quipped, "F**k Me I'm Wise," before tagging Henry with a prayer hands emoji. "I love you, we calm," he said, concluding his cryptic posts.
