One Direction's Niall Horan Tweets Single Status Amid Rumors He's Dating Ex; Will Play Guitar on Group's Next Album

Heartthrob seems to put to rest speculation that he's back with an alleged former girlfriend via Twitter

Breathe a sigh of relief, Directioners!

While rumors have been running rampant that Niall Horan is back together with alleged former girlfriend Zoe Whelan, the 20-year-old One Direction star seemed to drop a pretty big hint that he's still very much available.

When a fan tweeted to Horan on Tuesday, "This is why you dont have a girlfriend," the singer replied by writing, "I know right ? Hahaha."

Meanwhile, the apparently relationship-free Horan has also just revealed that he'll be strumming a six-string on 1D's upcoming album.

"If you listen to Midnight Memories you might hear someone you know on guitar occasionally!" he tweeted. "I like playing the guitar a good bit!"

Midnight Memories, One Direction's highly anticipated third studio album, is scheduled to be released on Nov. 25.
