Former One Direction singer Liam Payne is engaged to his girlfriend, model Maya Henry, a representative confirmed to People magazine.
Payne, 26, and Henry, 20, have been dating for two years. Several media outlets saw the couple dining at London’s Novikov restaurant on Thursday night, with Henry sporting a square-cut diamond on her left hand, US magazine reported.
Henry, who hails from San Antonio, is the daughter of prominent Texas attorney Thomas J Henry, according to KSAT.

The discovery of Henry wearing a ring comes less than two months after Payne, a solo artist, and his former One Direction bandmates -- Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik -- celebrated the 10th anniversary of the group’s founding.
Previously, Payne had been in a long-term relationship with Cheryl Cole, E! Online reported. The couple, whose son, Bear Grey, was born in 2017, split in July 2018, the website reported.
Payne and Henry kept their relationship quiet until last September, when they were photographed holding hands at London’s Heathrow Airport, E! Online reported.
The couple then made their romance official via an Instagram post in September 2019 after nearly a year of dating.
“Last but not least this one @maya_henry (thanks) for always keeping the biggest smile on my face through all the stress and making me realize how perfect my life really is,” the musician wrote via Instagram after releasing his single, “Stack It Up” in September. “Love you all let’s stack this (expletive) up.”
