Did Ed Sheeran and Niall Horan really fight over Ellie Goulding?
Sheerios and Directioners were alerted to the news when the rumors of Goulding and Horan began surfacing right around the time she and the 'Lego House' hitmaker broke up.
Fans' suspicion at the supposed love triangle only amplified when Sheeran released the somewhat vengeful song 'Don't' along with his other tunes for latest album, 'X.'
The 'Sing' crooner previously confirmed that everything in the song was "100% true," making Sheerios quickly jump to the conclusion that the cheating ex was in fact Ellie Goulding and the guy she cheated with on the same hotel floor was One Direction's Niall Horan.
Earlier this month, Sheeran was once again questioned about the scandalous rumor in an interview with Howard Stern.
When Stern asked him if the guy in the song was "a dude from One Direction," Sheeran only answered a quip.
"Well, it depends which one you're talking about," the British sensation joked.
Just to explain things further, he added, "The papers say a lot of things. I have kept my mouth shut about everything."
He admitted that, coming out of the situation, he wasn't "upset" but was just "pissed off."
"I just thought it was a bit disrespectful," he continued.
Apparently, it was "disrespectful" because he was actually friends with the guy. How much was Ed Sheeran and Niall Horan's relationship affected then?
"It's a difficult conversation to have," Sheeran revealed to Stern about the confrontation with his friend. "He was my mate, so I was just a bit like, 'Um, not cool."
Whether it was really "a dude from One Direction" or not, Sheeran made sure to tell the world that he and the 'You and I' crooner are friends once again.
They were seen being chummy at the iHeartrRadio party where One Direction also performed. The red-haired star even planted a big kiss on Horan's cheek.
It seems that both Ed Sheeran and Niall Horan have moved on from Ellie Goulding.
