Maya Henry was once recognized for her high-profile modeling gigs, but she is now perhaps better known for her relationship and subsequent split with One Direction alum Liam Payne. Learn more about the late singer’s former partner.
The news came just hours after Maya took to social media to react to a fan-posted photo of the former One Direction singer with another woman, saying, “I love all of the fans so much but please stop sending me these pictures of my fiancé wrapped around another woman. This is not me and it’s hard enough knowing this has happened without seeing it. Enough now.” Want to know more about Maya, Liam’s ex-fiancee? Check out the info we discovered, below!
Maya is represented by Elite Model Management, and has walked for Dolce & Gabbana and George Hobeika’s Paris Fashion Week show. She has also landed on a number of magazine covers for publications like Elle Romania, Harper’s Bazaar Vietnam and Grazia Italia.
@mayahenry Replying to @marie anways sorry for the rant but things need to be addressed
Liam confirmed that he was dating the young model in a loving Instagram message, just a little over a year after announcing his split from singer Cheryl Ann Tweedy. Liam and his ex share a son, Bear, who was born in March of 2017.
The two were together until 2021, but it wasn’t until 2024 that Maya opened up about her relationship with Liam in a TikTok video posted on October 6. She shared, “Ever since we broke up he messages me, will blow up my phone, not only from his phone, it’s always from different phone numbers too, so I never know where it’s gonna come from.”
She added, “He’s the one that is constantly doing weird sh*t, and also might I add, he literally said the reason he has all these people on his damn Snapchat, which he has had for years apparently, and messages, is he preys on One Direction fans because they’re loyal to him.”
