Liam Payne has confirmed that he and fiancée Maya Henry have called off their engagement.

The former One Direction singer announced in August 2020 that he and the US model were planning to tie the knot, after two years of dating.

However, he has now revealed that he and Maya have gone their separate ways, revealing the relationship ended during lockdown.

Confirming his single status on Steven Barlett’s YouTube series, the Strip That Down star explained: “I feel like more than anything at this point, I’m more disappointed in myself that I keep on hurting people.

“That annoys me. I’ve just not been very good at relationships. And I know what my pattern of things is with relationships, I feel at this point. I’m just not very good at them so I just need to work on myself before I put myself on to somebody else.”

He continued: “In my last relationship, I just wasn’t giving a very good version of me anymore, that I didn’t appreciate and I didn’t like being. I can honestly say I feel better out of it.

“I didn’t feel good doing what I did but it had to happen. Just a corny way to say it was the best for us both.”

“I know I was the problem,” Liam added. “I need to sort myself out and I already feel good.”

There are very few people who have experienced what he has in the last decade.

Last week, Liam revealed that former bandmate Harry Styles had been helping through some recent struggles.

“It was really lovely,” Liam said of his catch-up with Harry. “He called me because he has a sixth sense for if I’m struggling or if one of us is in trouble, I feel like.”

Liam previously dated fellow pop star Cheryl Tweedy, with whom he has a four-year-old son, having also been romantically linked with supermodel Naomi Campbell and dancer Danielle Peazer.
