One Direction member Liam Payne is now single man after parting ways with longtime girlfriend Sophia Smith.
Payne and Smith have broken up after dating for over two years, reports eonline.com.
No details on what caused the split have yet been revealed.

"I love how music is always there for you when you need it most x," he wrote.
