One Direction Liam Payne Dating Sophia Smith [PHOTOS] Ex Danielle Peazer Sends Weird Twitter Message After 'This is Us' Star Confirms Romance

One Direction's Liam Payne has a new girlfriend and his ex, Danielle Peazer sent a weird Twitter message just after the "This is Us" star confirmed he is dating Sophia Smith.  

According to Entertainment Wise, Peazer, 24, tweeted a cryptic post following the news that Payne, 19, had moved on to his school friend, Smith, 22. 

The 1D singer announced that he was off the market at a press conference for the group's upcoming "This is Us" film on Monday. Payne reportedly told Yahoo OMG! that he had a "girlfriend" and then pointed to the brunette Smith, who had accompanied him to the press event.

"Yes, Yes I do," Payne said when Yahoo asked about his new girlfriend before pointing at her. "She' sitting right over there. It's not been long." 

The public confession came several weeks after numerous rumors about him and Smith. The twosome had been spending a lot of time together lately, according to several reports.

But soon after news of the romance hit the viral waves, Peazer posted an image on Twitter bearing the words, "Oh Dear." Reportedly, the photo was an old one that was posted in April during 1D's Twitter spat with Max George from the English-Irish boy band, The Wanted.

Peazer, who had broken up with Payne in May after two and a half years together, may have been referring to Payne's new relationship or may not have been addressing it.

But whether Peazer is okay with the romance or not, both Payne and Smith are happy together, a source told U.K's Mirror.

"Liam has fallen for her," the source said to the newspaper. "It's getting very serious, very fast."

The lovebirds both attended St. Peter's Collegiate in Wolverhampton, England and have been quietly dating for the last few weeks, reported Entertainment Wise.
