One Direction member Liam Payne's ex-fianc¨¦e Maya Henry has been quite vocal about their past relationship since their highly publicised split in 2022. She has gone on record to call their relationship toxic on multiple occasions. In 2024, Maya took her experiences in the relationship a step further by releasing a book that is reportedly inspired by her experiences with Liam. A new report has now claimed that the late singer struggled with sexuality and allegedly pressured her to terminate a pregnancy.
According to a Rolling Stone report, Liam Payne sexted other men despite being in a relationship with Maya on and off from 2018 to 2022, with multiple insiders telling the outlet that he struggled with his sexuality.
The report further added that Payne allegedly sent inappropriate messages to other people that Maya discovered when Liam accidentally broadcast them to their TV.
The source alleged that in 2020, Liam pressured Maya into having an abortion by giving her an ultimatum. According to the report, the Teardrop singer sent her a lengthy message stating that she could either terminate the pregnancy and stay with him or raise the child on her own, with him refusing to acknowledge either of them. Maya was reportedly taken aback by this, as Liam had previously expressed a desire to start a family, and they had been trying for a child.
Maya, who is said to have "agreed to terminate the pregnancy," appeared to subtly reference the abortion in her May 2024 novel, Looking Forward. She mentioned that the book was "inspired" by her relationship with Liam, suggesting that elements of their romance, including the difficult decision, might have influenced her writing.
Maya Henry had taken legal action against Liam Payne just days before his passing. According to the Daily Mail, Maya issued a cease and desist letter to Liam, accusing him of repeatedly contacting her despite their breakup.
Her lawyers, Marco Crawford and Daniel Cerna, confirmed that the letter was issued due to "new and concerning information" that had emerged. The statement from her lawyers also indicated that Maya would not be making any further comments on the matter at that time.
On October 16, 2024, Liam Payne passed away at the age of 31. The singer died after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, reportedly following a drug binge. The official cause of death was later confirmed as ¡°polytrauma,¡± a term used to describe multiple traumatic injuries sustained by the body.
Maya Henry and Liam Payne first met in 2014, when Maya was just 15 years old and met Liam at a One Direction meet-and-greet. At that time, Liam was a member of the popular boy band One Direction. Years later, in 2018, rumors of a romantic relationship between the two started circulating, and by 2019, they had made their relationship public. The couple had an on-again, off-again relationship, but things seemed to be getting serious when they got engaged in 2020. However, their engagement didn't last, and they split up for good in April 2022.
