Niall Horan, Ed Sheeran Friends After Ellie Goulding Cheating Rumors

Ed Sheeran never needed to see Niall Horan as a threat, after all. 

Nearly 10 years after Ed released “Don’t” in 2014, which was rumored at the time to be about Ellie Goulding cheating on him with the One Direction member, he and Niall proved the hatchet has long been buried. 

While sharing a slew of never-before-seen photos on his @teddysoldphone Instagram account April 29, Ed included several of Niall, one of which was a 2014 selfie of the pair captioned, “me and nialler in vegas.”

The “Slow Hands” singer, for his part, showed admiration for the throwback pictures, and later reshared the selfie to his story the same day, tagging Ed’s main account in the post, writing, “Love ya.”

Indeed, Ed’s new account—which he explained includes decades-old photos from an old phone he turned back on during a songwriting legal battle he later won—included not only a few photos of Niall, but also one of Ellie alongside him and Bruno Mars backstage amid the Moonshine Jungle Tour in 2013.
