Niall Horan, Zoe Whelan Dating Rumors 2013 [PHOTO]: One Direction's Irish Heartthrob Moves on After Ellie Goulding 'Split,' Back w/ Model Ex-Grilfriend?

Reports are claiming that One Direction's Niall Horan is back together with his former girlfriend, Zoe Whelan. After a summer of rumors surrounding Ellie Goulding hook ups, it looks like Whelan has won back the Irish hunk.

"Niall wants everything kept completely under the radar, as he feels they simply won't survive if they're being watched," an insider explained. "But the truth is, he's mad about her and when he's in Ireland they're spending almost every second together."

"Over the past three months she's flown out on four different occasions to meet him over in London and be close to him. Although they would prefer to keep the relationship quiet, they actually get to hook up together a lot more than you'd think and Zoe is a regular face backstage at their gigs," the insider explained.

The source added: "All the other lads in the band are aware of how much he likes her and even though things have been on and off at times, he's always felt she was the only girl he wanted a proper relationship with."

What do you think of these rekindled romance rumors? Are you glad Zoe and Niall are (possibly) back together?

Meanwhile, Niall's alleged ex, Ellie Goulding, recently revealed how she has had bad luck with her past relationships.

"All men are crap - at least the ones I've been seeing lately," she exclaimed in a recent interview. "I find a lot of men, especially young men, project the problems they had with previous girlfriends on to me, which is really unfair."

That is definitely a good reason to leave a relationship.

Maybe the first hint at a confirmation of this relationship was when Ellie was asked about being seen kissing Horan during the V Festival this summer.

''I just can't talk about Niall," the 26-year-old said at the time. "I won't ever talk about my love life any more because it's always then gone wrong when I have in the past."

She added: ''I've definitely had some 'interesting' tweets since the story came out. Thankfully I'm able to take it all with a pinch of salt because I've been told to be that way. I genuinely mean this - I don't hate on anyone, but at least One Direction fans are very passionate and my fans are very passionate too. I'd hate it if people didn't care about what they thought.''
