Liam Payne of One Direction started dating Leona Lewis, just two weeks after his split with now ex girlfriend Danielle Peazer.

The 19-year-old teen idol, who announced his separation last week, did not wait long and talks about his new partner of 27 years old, who finished with German dancer Dennis Jauch.

A source close to Liam told The Sunday Mirror, “As soon as he got the chance to ask her out he did it and they really enjoyed their outings together. While they were in London managed to stay out of the media. “

A family source said: “Liam never had secrets about his feelings for Leona.”

Another source said about Danielle, “She would have liked to have seen Liam more often, but his career had to come first. It’s sad that they had to separate. But you can understand why a woman like Leona Lewis would be able to cope with the Liam’s condition of superstar.”

The latest single from One Direction, Live, was released on Sunday and Leona’s third album will be released October 12.

Leone declined to comment, and Liam spokesman said: “We are not currently commenting on the private life of Liam.”
