It seems that cute boy Niall Horan from One Direction has found love in a girl from his hometown, or at least that’s what his dad is saying. The father, Bobby, told Heat Magazine, “There’s a local girl that Niall loves. I know he thinks of her as his sweetheart…She’s very attractive, and they’re close, but I don’t know whether he’s made any advances on her yet. I’m not going to embarrass her by giving her name, though.”

He also added that “She would stand her ground with any of these beautiful celebrities. She’s a brunette with big brown eyes and pale skin like Niall’s. She’s from the town but the other end to us, and I always knew Niall has big feelings for her.”

But it seems that the hot celebrity has yet to really give his heart to anyone as his father insists that Niall never had a girlfriend before: “He never really brought girls home. He had some girls that were friends and they would all sit on the wall outside together, but that was all…He’s never had a real girlfriend… He went to an all-boys’ school so it was hard to meet girls, but that’s certainly changed now.”

However Bobby doubts that his son is a virgin, “I don’t believe he’s a virgin. I couldn’t say, and I wasn’t in the house all the time, so I don’t really know what went on when I wasn’t there.”

So Niall fans might be out of luck soon if he gets himself a girlfriend.
