Sources say Liam Payne’s romance with Aliana Mawla is still on while others call it a ‘fling’

Speaking to MailOnline, one source claimed the pair are still together but keeping it ‘low-key’ while another simply described the romance as a ‘drunken’ 48-hour fling.

So what’s the truth, Liam? Beaming Aliana Mawla hit the beach in a bikini on Monday amid claims she believes her romance with Payne is still ON – while ex-fiancée Maya Henry is left thinking it was just a 48-hour fling 

Their romance came just weeks after Liam’s split from his ex-fiancée Maya Henry, who he began dating back in 2018.

Speaking of his relationship with Aliana, a source described it as a two-day fling and a ‘drunken mistake’ and said the pair are no longer in contact.

The source told MailOnline: ‘[Aliana’s] back in Miami because they broke up after 48 hours of her being in London and haven’t been in contact since. 

‘She’s not and never was his girlfriend at all. She was a two-day fling, a drunken mistake.

But on the opposing side, last week a friend of Maya’s hit back at claims that the couple split a month ago, claiming that Liam’s new relationship had come as a shock to Maya.

A source told The Mirror: ‘This is such a blow for Maya, she’s making arrangements to get her belongings out of his house so she can move on and forget they were ever together.

‘To say you never know someone is understatement. They were engaged and he has shown her zero respect.

‘She’s now thinking about her next steps and building a new life without Liam.’
