Niall Horan seeks the quiet life as he moves into £10m London mansion with girlfriend
The One Direction star is already living in the luxury six-bedroom family pile located in the West London neighbourhood that is home to several stars
Niall Horan has moved into a €11.6 (£10 million) London mansion, it has been reported, as he seeks a 'quite' life with girlfriend Amelia Woodley.
The One Direction star is already living in the luxury six-bedroom family pile located in the West London neighbourhood that is home to several stars.
According to the Sun, the couple who share a dog together, have been enjoying a quiet life in the new neighbourhood, which is home to other celebrities including Holly Willoughby and Ant and Dec.
They settled in after leaving his London penthouse, as the reputed low-key musician sought a sanctuary away from the limelight.
Niall and shoe designer Amelia have been "spotted a few times in the neighbourhood", reports claim, and have already been pictured out and about walking their dog.
In 2023, Horan released his second solo album, The Show, which went to number one and finished touring with his third album, Heartbreak Weather, in 2024.
Last month, the singing star teased that he plans to spend the summer working on his fourth record.
In an interview with Golf Pass, he revealed: "I am literally, this week, just about to sit down and I've been like accumulating some ideas but I'm going to sit down and start writing my next album."
Last summer, the singer popped up in Dublin's 'secret' hideaway for the stars, The Hacienda Bar on Little Mary Street.
Fresh from his sold-out show at the Royal Hospital Kilmainham, in August Niall brought along pal Ed Sheeran to meet the legendary owner of the northside night spot, Shay Duignan, who welcomed the musical duo to his speakeasy.
Posting on social media, Shay wrote: 'Great to welcome Ed Sheeran and Niall Horan to the Hacienda last night. It was a wonderful night and it was also special to welcome James Blunt and Lewis Capaldi.'
In the picture that will join the numerous others dotted along its hallowed walls, Shay is joined by the One Direction star, who had earlier delighted fans by introducing his 'good friend' Sheeran, who joined him on stage.
Horan said: 'He loves this country dearly and made his way across from England today to be here with us tonight. Can you please give it up for my good friend, the great Ed Sheeran.'
However, in October last year, tragedy struck the band when singer Liam Payne (31) died after falling from the third-floor balcony of a hotel in Buenos Aires.
Payne rose to fame aged 16 as part of One Direction, who went on to become a global sensation after they finished third on The X Factor in 2010.
In a post on Instagram, Horan wrote: 'I'm absolutely devastated about the passing of my amazing friend, Liam. It just doesn't feel real.
'Liam had an energy for life and a passion for work that was infectious. He was the brightest in every room and always made everyone feel happy and secure.
'All the laughs we had over the years, sometimes about the simplest of things, keep coming to mind through the sadness. We got to live out our wildest dreams together and I will cherish every moment we had forever. The bond and friendship we had doesn't happen often in a lifetime.
'I feel so fortunate that I got to see him recently. I sadly didn't know that after saying goodbye and hugging him that evening, I would be saying goodbye forever. It's heartbreaking.
'My love and condolences go out to Geoff, Karen, Ruth, Nicola and of course his son Bear. Thank you for everything, Payno. Love you brother.'

Speaking on The Sun's Royal Exclusive show, former Sun Royal Correspondent and author Charles Rae discussed the intimate post, with host Bronte Coy saying it showed 'almost Lilibet's whole face.' He said: 'I like your definition of almost the full face. More on Princess Lilibet 'I'm dubbing Lilibet the jigsaw girl because over the four years, all we've seen is an ankle, an arm, a bit of a nose, maybe a forehead.' He added: 'I'm all for them protecting their children. 'I've got no problems with that as well. 'But, you know, this sort of half bits of the child, it doesn't do anything for me.'

'But both Harry and Meghan have been accused in the past of hypocrisy in this area. 'As a parent, of course, I do understand it is completely a prerogative what you share of your children online. 'They have said things in the past about their privacy. 'And then now Meghan having launched her Instagram in January, she has been releasing more and more of the kids, which is her decision.' 7 Meghan shared this photo of Archie from behind for his birthday Credit: Instagram Sarah claimed it is 'fair play' what the Duke and Duchess of Sussex share on Instagram now that they are no longer senior working royals.

Sarah added: 'With Harry and Meghan, of course, we'd all love to see more because we're really interested in those little children.

KATE AND WILLS' VIEWS 7 The Prince and Princess of Wales recognise George, Charlotte and Louis 'play a public role', according to experts Credit: Getty She pointed out that Prince William and Princess Kate may have a different approach with their own kids, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 10, and The royal expert explained: 'I think with the Waleses, they recognise that their children are going to play a part in public life. 'And they are being funded by the public as well. 'And they are going to take on significant roles in the future of the country and the monarchy. 'And therefore they recognise that they need to share. 'But they're also quite careful about when they share those moments of their children's lives. 'And there are pretty stringent restrictions on what can be shown and what can't.' Charles agreed, saying: 'You know, their children are eventually going to be on the royal treadmill. 'But they are very cautious with the times that the children have access to the public, or the public have access to them.' How Princess Kate cleverly manages George, Charlotte and Louis' image – but manages to retain their privacy KATE Middleton and Prince William are raising three of the most famous children in the UK - but strongly prioritise protecting their privacy as much as possible. According to royal experts, the Prince and Princess of Wales are keen to get the balance between shielding their kids and also letting the public get to know their future king. Royal author Phil Dampier told Fabulous: "Prince William always vowed to protect his wife and children from the problems of being a royal and in the spotlight as much as possible, and he promised Kate's parents he would do everything in his power. 'Both William and Kate are determined that their three children will have as normal a childhood as possible to give them a good start in life.' Instead of hiring a formal photographer to capture intimate family moments, the duchess prefers to snap them herself. Phil said: 'Kate takes her own pictures of them on birthdays and special occasions so that she can control their image, but also make sure they are happy to be photographed.' Phil explained that the family spends a lot of time at Anmer Hall in Norfolk where they can disappear from the public gaze. He said: 'The paparazzi pretty much leave them alone and they can go off in woods and on beaches without being disturbed. 'Kate's mum Carole is there a lot of the time and is very close to them, particularly George. 'They go to normal nurseries and mix with normal kids at school in London.'

Cork Midsummer Festival set to turn all the city ‘into a stage' in celebration of all things Rebel
Tickets are flying out the door according to the organisers, and they also added that this year's crop of talent has led to one of their busiest box offices in years. Running from June 13 to June 22, Cork city is turned into a stage for a celebration of live arts events that will appeal to each member of the family. Director of the Cork Midsummer Festival Lorraine Maye said the event is 'unique' in so far as it partners with various cultural organisations across the city. 'We work with all the city's cultural organisations, and we work with them to co-present a lot of the work, and a lot of things would not be possible without them. 'We work with a lot of businesses in the city and they become patrons or friends. 'They support us in so many different ways and we literally couldn't do this without them,' Ms Maye said. Whether your Midsummer Festival includes a 4am visit to Cork Opera House, a visit to the dazzling display of the Sun at St Fin Barre's Cathedral or an intimate experience of a musical ensemble at Triskel Arts Centre, there is something for everyone. The opening event will allow spectators to experience the Sun like never before at St Finn Barre's Cathedral. Helios is an invitation to explore the Sun up close through a huge, dazzling new artwork by world-renowned UK artist Luke Jerram. 'The opening event is Helios, a six-metre giant installation of the Sun that's going to be in St Fin Barres for people to see from the 9th of June right until the end of the festival. 'It is a great one for all the family to see and we are thrilled to bring it to Cork. We are co-commissioners of that,' Ms Maye said. Helios can be viewed from June 9. Another major event on the Midsummer Festival calendar is The Second Woman, which is a 24-hour performance and features Eileen Walsh act out the same scene for the duration of the show. 'The extraordinary Eileen Walsh will be the heart of the show and will be on stage for 24 hours performing the same scene over and over again with 100 different participants – all of them men. 'Some of them are actors but most of them are not and haven't been on stage before. 'People can engage with this in a number of different ways like a 24-hour tickets that gives them priority to come and go throughout the 24 hours or they can get a time ticket. 'We really recommend that people see the performance at various times of the day and the night because it's a completely different experience,' Ms Maye added. Throughout the festival, various events showcasing extraordinary Cork talents will be on offer, including the iconic Theatre for One booth. 'We will be using the city as a stage, which is something the festival does every year. 'The iconic Theatre for One booth is custom-made for one audience members and one actor at a time, and this year's theme is Made in Cork,' Ms Maye said. All the writers and actors involved with the Theatre for One are Leesiders, with some of the directors are also Rebels, and Ms Maye said the Theatre for One is a 'brilliant platform to showcase some extraordinary Cork talent.' The closing night will be especially memorable as seven giraffes will make their way down St Patrick's Street – well, kind of. 'For our closing event this year we are partnering with Cork City Council and the Open Streets Initiative for the biggest international spectacle that the city has seen for decades on St Patrick's Street. 'This is a group called Compagnie OFF from France, and their event Les Girafes: An Animal Operetta, will have seven giant giraffes coming down Patrick's Street on the final day of the festival,' Ms Maye concluded.
