The hunk also changed his bio on Instagram to simply read, “Happy.”

“[Liam] wanted to be back in a relationship for a while,” a source told Us. “[He] never liked the whole random hookup thing.”

The duo first met when the singer auditioned for The X Factor in 2008, at the age of 14. Payne separated from longtime girlfriend Sophia Smith in October 2015. Fernandez-Versini is in the middle of a divorce from Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini, who she secretly wed in July 2014.
