US X Factor judge Demi Lovato denies she's dating One Direction's Niall Horan

US X factor judge, Demi Lovato, 20, has denied that she's dating One Directions, Niall Horan.

Demi's claim comes days after it was reported that the pair - who've been getting close on Twitter and Skype over the past six months - were 'loosely dating'.

'But he's not my boyfriend. I'm in a place right now where I really need to focus on myself.'

Even though they're not an item, Niall speaks very highly of the former Disney star.

'The nice thing about Demi is, once you know her, she's really, really beautiful,' Niall, 19, tells Seventeen.

SELENA GOMEZ INSPIRED TAYLOR SWIFT TO DATE CONOR KENNEDY?

We're quite used to Taylor Swift dating different types of older boys so it was a bit of a surprise to us when she started going out with 18 year old Conor Kennedy.

But apparently the inspiration for her dip into "mini-cougar" territory might've had something to do with good friend Selena Gomez, who's been dating toyboy Justin Bieber for a while now.

To be fair, if it's never worked out with an older boy, maybe someone younger is a good bet.

Demi Lovato Was 'Ready To Do Something New' When She Joined X Factor

Joining the X Factor USA panel alongside some of the biggest names in the music industry was a ‘no-brainer’ for the youngest of the judges, Demi Lovato. The teen star revealed that the proposition to be a judge came at the perfect time in her life and she had no hesitation when it came to accepting the offer from boss Simon Cowell.

The American star seems to fit in perfectly beside her judging partners and described her only female companion Britney as “really sweet and funny and quirky”. She also seems to have found a new BFF in Simon Cowell as the pair continually joke and make fun of each other in front of the cameras.
Demi does, however, believe the competition is more than just fun and games. She admitted that she wants to not only help the contestants with their singing, but also with their newfound fame.

Demi Lovato admits that she's dating Niall Horan of One Direction

"The X Factor" U.S. judge Demi Lovato, 20, has now admitted what many people predicted would happen: She is dating One Direction's Niall Horan, 19. 

Lovato commented to the Daily Mirror about her relationship with Horan: "He has a lot of great qualities. He is an amazing listener and makes me laugh a lot, two of the main qualities I look for. He knows I have a little crush on him, and we enjoy having dinner when we get the chance. We speak and message all the time.

“I don’t want a relationship over Skype; we are both in a place where we feel zero pressure to rush. We share the philosophy that the right one is worth waiting for. It has been a crazy year for One Direction and I have been concentrating on The X Factor and also my well-being.”

Horan lives in London, while Lovato is based in the Los Angeles area.

An insider told the Daily Mirror: “Demi’s told the guys backstage she and Niall are loosely dating – it’s casual but they are definitely dating, albeit long-distance.”

Over the past several months, Lovato denied that she was dating Horan and said that they were "just friends." She also said in many interviews that she wasn't going to be dating anyone for about a year because she wanted to focus on her career and her recovery from various personal problems, including substance abuse, eating disorders and self-harming. Lovato has gone to rehab for these issues.

There have been several gossip blind items that many people believe are about Lovato, Horan and "The X Factor" executive producer Simon Cowell. According to the blind items, a powerful boss is arranging for two of his young stars to be set up in a dating relationship. The female half of the couple has agreed to the arrangement and is dating the guy for publicity. The arranged relationship will teased in a "will they or won't they get together" scenario. They will then admit to dating each other, but then the relationship will be over by the end of 2012.

One Direction came in third place on "The X Factor" U.K. in 2010. Cowell was One Direction's mentor when he was a judge on the show. One Direction is also signed to Syco Music, the record company co-owned by Cowell and Sony Music.

Horan has not had a steady girlfriend since One Direction rose to fame on "The X Factor" U.K. in 2010. Lovato's most recent public boyfriend was Joe Jonas of the Jonas Brothers. They dated for a few months in 2010, before she went into rehab. Lovato also had an on-again/off-again relationship with actor Wilmer Valderrama.

Rumors about Lovato and Horan dating began heating up after it was reported that they went out to Pink Taco (a Mexican restaurant in West Hollywood, California) on September 6, 2012, after they were both at the MTV Video Music Awards. Lovato denied that the get-together was a romantic date, and she later insisted in interviews that she and Horan were "just friends."

I love @SelenaGomez and all that she is doing right now…a great role model for me!! congrats girl!! #muchlove

I agree with her that Selena Gomez is a great role model. She knows what she wants and is working towards it, while not betraying her already existing fans. That is a hard thing to do and even more so tempting for so many to forget about them. Yet so far Selena has being do so good about keeping them and making sure that she lives a life that her family and friends can be proud of. So Zendaya has certainly made a good choice about who her role model is.
