Niall Horan fuels One Direction feud rumours by skipping Harry Styles' wedding

Niall Horan has ignited fresh rumours of tension within One Direction.

The Irish charmer, 32, has shared that he will not be present at his former bandmate Harry Styles's wedding ceremony.

During an interview, Niall mentioned he is a "busy man" when questioned about attending the wedding.

Last month, it was revealed that Harry and the remarkable actress Zoe Kravitz are engaged following an eight-month relationship.

Niall appeared on The Edge in New Zealand this week, where he was asked if he would be going to the wedding.

"I’m not attending if that’s what you're asking," Niall told the programme hosts.

Pressed further by the interviewer, Niall added: “I’m a busy man.”

Fans swiftly reacted to the interview footage, which circulated on social media.

“He didn’t claim not to be invited or that it's not happening. He said he's not attending, possibly due to a tour conflict,” one person commented.

"Harry isn't tying the knot, hence he's not going," speculated another.

"I think he assumed they were referring to Taylor Swift, not Harry,” remarked a third.

A fourth queried: “Do we know definitively if a wedding is happening? Harry has a tour this year, too."

Less than a year ago, Harry attended Niall's Co-op Live performance, part of his The Show Tour.

Images shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, captured the Watermelon Sugar singer among the audience and walking through the venue’s hallways.

Harry appeared stylish wearing a mustard jacket and jeans, paired with a white top.

In 2015, Harry departed from 1D during a world tour with Niall, Harry, Liam Payne, and Louis Tomlinson.

Soon after, they announced an “indefinite hiatus” following Zayn Malik’s exit.

Recently, Zayn was reported to have struck former One Direction bandmate Louis Tomlinson during a heated confrontation.

Inflicting a head injury and leaving Louis with a concussion, the former friends' physical altercation occurred while they were filming a three-part road trip for Netflix.

Netflix promptly cancelled the multi-million-pound undertaking, which intended to showcase their bond over shared experiences of pop fame.
