He was 1/4 of one of the biggest boybands around, so it's no surprise Irish hunk Niall Horan has been linked with stunning girls like Selena Gomez, Ellie Goulding and Olympia Valance in the past.

But now, fans of the former One Direction heartthrob have gone into meltdown after Niall was spotted getting rather cosy with American singer and actress Hailee Steinfeld.

The pair were spotted attending a Backstreet Boys gig at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas over the weekend, and it didn't take long for fans to think something could be going on between the pair.

According to reports, Niall and** Pitch Perfect** star Hailee were spotted chatting and 'getting close' in the VIP area as they danced to hits from the Backstreet Boys.

Fans who were also at the gig were quick to share photos and videos of Niall and Hailee to social media.

One fan shared a video of Niall and Hailee as they danced to 'I Want It That Way'.

Another user wrote, 'NIALL HORAN (and Hailee Steinfeld) are sitting behind me at a @backstreetboys concert. This is not a drill. I am not okay.' [sic]

Now of course the pair have been spotted together before, which has only gone and fueled rumours of a romance even further, but it seems some fans aren't that keen on the potential romance...

Back in December, Niall shared a photo of the pair to wish Hailee a happy birthday. He wrote, 'Happy birthday to the loveliest person on the planet and one of my best friends @haileesteinfeld . Have no idea what the hell is going on in this photo. Love ya hails'. [sic]
