Liam Payne Talks About Recent Break Up
Liam Payne has opened up about his split from Sophia Smith. The duo began dating in 2013 after growing up together in Liam’s hometown.
Liam shared, “I’m absolutely devastated to have split with Sophia. Being on the tour all this year and being away from her was so hard. We spent so much time apart.”
Liam and his One Direction bandmates completed the final leg of their On the Road Again tour last night, October 31, and are set to take a break from the band early next year.
Liam did reveal he will work with bandmate Louis Tomlinson during the group’s hiatus as Louis has his own record label. Liam stated, “I’m starting to think about next year when we take a break from the band for a while. I’m going into music publishing, collaborating and writing songs for other artists. I’m very excited to see the business from the other side. I feel I have built up a lot of knowledge of the craft of songwriting, so I think this will work really well.”
