'The Sun:' Naomi Campbell, 48, and Liam Payne. 25, have been secretly dating for 2 months

Supermodel Naomi Campbell and One Direction member Liam Payne have reportedly been dating for two months despite their 23-year age gap.

After Liam's recent split with Cheryl Tweedy, The Sun revealed that he has been dating 48-year-old supermodel Naomi Campbell. The two have been spotted in London and New York together numerous times, but last month, they even traveled to Africa together.

While they never posted photos of each other during their trip, an Instagram story caught hold of them sitting side by side while having a meal.

The publication claims that Payne "can't believe his luck" and is absolutely smitten with Campbell, but his friends are afraid that he'd be her "plaything."

During their two-month-fling, Naomi, one of the most powerful names in the modeling business, introduced him to couture houses like Hugo Boss, as he aims to try his luck in modeling.

Just last week, the pair was spotted at a Davido Adeleke concert in London's O2 Arena. Trying to keep things lowkey, Liam walked behind Naomi. Now that they've been showing themselves more, they are reportedly ready to take their relationship public.

Of course, a fling isn't complete without social media flirting, and that's exactly what Payne and Campbell did on Instagram a couple of days ago. Posting solo photos on their respective Instagram accounts, the pair made sure to comment on them to let them know how beautiful they found the other.

For Naomi, she pointed out Liam's "beautiful soul," while Liam spoke about Naomi's face being "perfection in a person," and asked her not to "give me those eyes," which signified how smitten he is with her.

The former One Direction member broke up from his "The Greatest Dancer" judge ex Cheryl Tweedy, 35 just last year. The two shared a son named Bear. Formerly open about him being "fragile" about their split, it seems he is now more than ready to begin anew and try his luck in love, this time with Naomi.
