Five just-about perfect gals for newly-single Niall

Niall Horan has certainly been hitting the headlines lately.

Late-night partying with Ariana Grande; Ellie Goulding finally admitting to their fling; being linked to Little Mix babe Jade Thirlwall, and socialising with Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho's daughter, Matilde – yes, it's certainly been a busy week for the Mullingar man.

It might be about to get busier too, for it's now been revealed that the One Direction singer has split from his gorgeous Australian girlfriend, Melissa Whitehall, after a three-month romance.

The 21-year-old boy-band star is believed to have met Melissa in February while on tour in Australia. Student Melissa, who is also 21, has been spotted with Niall by fans on a few occasions. It is also rumoured she went to visit him in London, where he is based, when their schedules allowed.

As one insider explained to The Sun: “Niall and Melissa did well to keep their romance low-profile during their time together. They were really close and had fun whenever they went out.”

Poor single Niall! And while he nurses his broken heart, we've compiled a list of gorgeous gals that we reckon would look very lovely on his arm…

Ariana Grande

Since partying on Monday night, Niall and Ariana have been all over the internet. Their reps insist, however, that they're just good friends.

Our normal reaction would be "that old line, eh?" but considering he has just broken up with his Aussie girlfriend, we're going to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Still, friendship often leads to romance – and we reckon this pairing would be cute-as-a-button. 

 

Laura Whitmore

Maybe too much of an age gap – she's just turned 30 and he's still a young lad of 21 – but if this blonde Irish duo happened we would be SO happy!

Niall was recently hanging out with Laura at her milestone birthday bash in London, where he later posted to Instagram a picture of the pair with the caption: “Happy birthday @thewhitmore! What a great party last night, loved it! Love you! Have a nice day!”

He seems eager anyway… now we'll just have to convince her.

 

Demi Lovato

The pair were rumoured to have dated back in 2012, but Demi said she ended it after receiving so much hate from fans.

We would love to see them give it another shot – although the distance (they both tour all the time) might be a killer.

Mind you, we're sure that they could still manage a nice little summer romance while honouring their busy schedules at the same time. So come on, guys – throw caution to the wind!

 

Kendall Jenner

Kimye move over: these guys would be the biggest power couple EVER.

We can’t deal with how good-looking Niall and Kendall would be in tantum. The young stars are already friends and have previously been photographed together looking fab – so that basically confirms they should get married.

And we reckon that momager Kris Jenner would love the publicity that a One Direction union would bring (especially has Kendall's romance with bandmate Harry Styles never panned out).

 

Taylor Swift

And finally… Mr Horan and Tay-Tay surely are destined to find love in one-another's arms at some stage?

Ok, so right now she's looking oh-so loved-up with Calvin Harris – but who knows how long that will last.

Niall and Taylor, or Niaylor if you will, sounds like a match-made-in-heaven so we're throwing our weight behind this one – if only because it would be gas to hear the post break-up songs.
