One Direction's Liam Payne and his girlfriend Sophia Smith are back together! It's been confirmed that Liam Payne and Sophia Smith are dating again after the One Direction singer posted an Instagram photo of the two of them together. The couple were also spotted holding hands while walking the streets of Manchester.

Liam Payne and his girlfriend Sophia Smith were pictured leaving One Direction's hotel in Manchester over the weekend, confirming that the One Direction singer and his lovely lady are back together!

The couple were also spotted holding hands and strolling through the streets of the city.

Liam Payne posted a photo to his Instagram holding girlfriend Sophia Smith in his arms - but Niall Horan photobombed the picture!

"Nice romantic moment when...," Liam captioned the photo.

Looks like Liam and Sophia are happier than ever now that they're dating again.

Last week, #PAYZERISBACK started trending on Twitter, leading fans to believe that Payne was back with his ex girlfriend Danielle Peazer. However, these recent cases of PDA are shutting down those rumors and confirming that Sophiam is back for good.

Peazer took to Twitter to respond to the trending hashtag "#PAYZERISBACK": "Having to delete a tweet because people don't allow u to tweet what u want without jumping to conclusions... #lasttimeicheckeditwasmytwitter"

Liam Payne dated Danielle for two and a half years. Soon after their break up, the 20-year-old One Direction singer started dating Sophia Smith in July 2013. They dated for eight months before breaking up a few weeks ago.

"They were spending too much time apart and it's only going to get worse this year - the band going on a super long tour, her getting busier with university," a source said about the couple, according to The Hollywood Gossip.

"Too much long distance," the source added. "It was draining for the both of them and led to a lot of arguments. Liam was the one who chose to end it."

"There was no way to maintain the relationship," a second source said. "He had to do it as they would never see each other and he didn't think it was fair."

Looks like they've figured out how to overcome those obstacles!
