Niall Horan dating Samantha Jade?

Los Angeles: Niall Horan is reportedly seeing Australian singer Samantha Jade, who did the opening act for his band One Direction's 'On the Road Again' tour in Australia.

Though neither of the rumoured lovers has addressed the dating reports, they were claimed to have been secretly dating over the last few weeks, reported Aceshowbiz.

"Samantha (went on a few dates) with Niall while the tour's been on... She kept asking him to make it public," a source said.

Jade, 27, posted on her Instagram a photo of her and Nial alongside his bandmates. "Such a fun time touring with these superstars ! Thanks for having me :) #1D #OTRA", so she captioned the snap.

Horan, 21, was earlier linked to Australian model, Melissa Whitelaw. Melissa took to Twitter to deny the rumours.
