Liam Payne made his first public appearance with new girlfriend Aliana Mawla on Monday, weeks after breaking off his engagement to Texan model Maya Henry.
The former One Direction star was arm in arm with the attractive brunette, who bears a striking resemblance to his former fiancée, after arriving at Heathrow Airport that morning.
The new couple looked drained as they made their way across the terminal following an eventful flight from Los Angeles, during which a shirtless Liam had made the questionable decision to share a video of himself flexing his abs.
However the only torso on display at London’s biggest airport belonged to his new girlfriend, who stood out in a distinctive white crop top as she clung to the singer’s arm.

MailOnline exclusively confirmed that Liam and Maya separated indefinitely last month after previously calling off their engagement in June 2021 – only to rekindle their romance two months later.
News of the break-up came just hours after photos of the singer with his arms wrapped around American model Aliana, 24, emerged on a fan Instagram account alongside further images of the pair holding hands.
The brunette, who boasts 300,000 Instagram followers, starred in Liam’s 2018 music video for J.Balvin collaboration, Familiar, and proudly promoted her sultry appearance in the music video via an Instagram post.
Appearing to confirm their new romance, Aliana has since posted several romantic snaps of the pair together.

Despite their end of their relationship, Maya referred to Liam as her ‘fiancé’ in the post’s comments section, which those close to the former X Factor finalist have slammed as ‘very misleading’.
A source told MailOnline: ‘Liam and Maya are no longer together and split up for good over a month ago. Maya’s comments referring to Liam as her fiancé are untrue and very misleading.’
After the images emerged, the Texas-native wrote: ‘I love all of the fans so much but please stop sending me these pictures of my fiancé wrapped around another woman. This is not me and it’s hard enough knowing this has happened without seeing it. Enough now.’

A representative for Liam confirmed he and Maya have split up, whilst hers are yet to comment.
In an interview with People, Liam recently admitted that the couple ‘went through a lot’ in lockdown but have worked through their challenges.
He explained: ‘I think we went through a lot in COVID. I feel like we’ve come out the other side of it a bit stronger. Most couples who have been married for years struggled, right? So, I mean, we’re still really happy to be here together today.’
The couple reportedly rekindled their relationship in July, a month after calling off their engagement. Liam had originally proposed in August 2020 after a year of dating.
The pair had known of each other for years and were first pictured together at a meet-and-greet event when One Direction fan Maya was just 15-years old.
Previously, Liam dated Cheryl Cole, 38, but the couple split in 2018 after a two and a half year romance.
The pair have remained amicable while co-parenting their four-year-old son Bear and largely keep the youngsters life private.
Last month Liam revealed that his ‘devious’ son has figured out how to ‘get the day off school’ in a question and answer session to Instagram.

The former One Direction star explained that his cheeky child was ‘quite smart’ with his ‘sneaky’ move.
Speaking live to his Instagram story, Liam gave a rare insight into his family life with his little one and said that he was ‘proud.’
The singer explained: ‘He went to school the other day and he didn’t want to go, and I think he learned that if you have Covid you don’t have to go to school, which is quite sneaky but also quite smart.
‘He figured out if he pretended to say ‘I’ve got the virus’ then he would get the day off school.’
