Liam Payne has officially confirmed his engagement to girlfriend Maya Henry during an appearance on Good Morning America.

The 27-year-old is said to have popped the question to the Texas-born model, who is seven years his junior, during the coronavirus lockdown.

Last week the couple were seen going out for dinner in London and Henry was sporting a diamond engagement ring, said to have cost Payne £3 million.

Asked about his engagement, Payne told GMA today: "We're just really happy. I mean, in the last week, I've just had a birthday, my son has gone to school for the first time today, so it seems like a lot of firsts for me, really, actually, which is great."

The One Direction singer began dating Henry two years ago, shortly after his split from Cheryl Cole, with whom he shares son Bear Payne.
