Turns out One Direction member Harry Styles is into cougars!
Reports have been circulating that the 18-year-old band member had a three month hot romance with 32-year-old married radio DJ Lucy Horobin. Don't worry die-hard One Direction fans, Styles was not unfaithful to girlfriend Caroline Flack (also 32).The risque relationship with the DJ occurred when he was 17-years-old.
EntertainmentWise.com hypothesises that the odd couple met when One Direction was debuting their single "What Makes You Beautiful."
A source revealed to Perez Hilton that Horobin had been going through a rough patch with her husband in their one year of marriage. Horobin and her husband had reportedly taken a "time out" to live separate lives. For the DJ that meant a separate life with the teenage singer.
"He just happened to be in the right place at the right time," the source explained of Harry Styles. "He charmed his way into her life and brought a little excitement with him."
While the source explains that Horobin is mortified now, a friend of the DJs revealed that "the sex was amazing." The friend continued that despite his age "he knew exactly what he was doing."
Since the cougar's brief romance with Styles she admitted her "stupid mistake" to her husband, and is attempting to move forward with her marriage. "They are working their way through the troubles and are glad they decided to stay together."
While we know where both parties ended up...how exactly did the news of their scandalous (and potentially homewrecking) relationship get out?
Lucy Horobin tweeted: "To clarify, I haven't said ANYTHING to any press, nor do I wish to. Thank you to those of you who have said kind words today. Xxx."
Needless to say fans of Styles and One Direction aren't too pleased with the news of his hot romance, and have taken to Twitter to call her "sick" and a "wh**e."
