Niall Horan and Harry Styles are often called the "single" members of One Direction, but it looks like Niall might have a new girlfriend soon. Sorry, Harry! The Irish singer is engaging in a pretty serious flirtationship with his longtime crush Brooke Vincent, a British actress famous for her work on the soap opera Coronation Street.

A friend of Niall says that they've been flirting ever since they met up backstage (and he scored her and her nieces free tickets) at a show in Manchester, and they have been messaging on Snapchat and WhatsApp pretty much every day!

The source told Mirror UK, “He’s been pretty open about how hot he thinks she is, and he’s told her he’d really like to take her out when they have a chance."

In 2011, Niall tweeted that he liked Demi Lovato and Brooke, so he's been harboring a crush on her for a very long time! When they met last March, we got a peek at what they'd look like as a couple.

Of course, Niall is notoriously secretive about his relationships, so we may never find out if they do go on a date!
