After those first couple appearances there was the article about how Celine already had a boyfriend.  That was BS since the tweets they referenced in the article came from a completely unconfirmed Twitter account, but the papers acted as if it was real and never corrected themselves.  

Then months later there was an article in The Sun that claimed Niall and Celine were over, so I think that was the official ending point for the narrative.  I don’t think we’ll see anything with them anymore.

I think the 2 reasons that Now would bring that up after months of nothing and then The Sun would refer to Now’s story even though no one else paid attention to it are if they wanted to officially put a cap on Neline or if they were preparing to bring it back.  They like to prep the fandom by reminding us of past events when they’re just about to get back into a narrative sometimes.

When Niall Horan and Celine Helene Vandycke went public on 1 July, the former One Direction star looked happier than we’d seen him in a long time.

The couple had been dating for over a month before they went out together for the first time, with Now spotting them on a low key but VERY loved up break in Portugal in early June.

Belgian law student Celine was said to be smitten with Niall, who looked equally as loved up with his new squeeze. But, just three months on from when their romance started, it seems their relationship could have fizzled out. But why?

First off, the pair haven’t been pictured together in months. It’s not surprising however. During that time, Niall’s flown all over the world, heading to Scotland (for golf), LA and Chicago to name just a few of the location the jet-setter’s visited recently. Celine however doesn’t appear to have been with him at all.

On 8 September, Niall got a lot of people talking when he went to the Forum in California to watch a 5SOS concert and was surrounded by pretty girls.  Some fans questioned whether Celine was there but a friend of one of the girls was quick to confirm it wasn’t, saying: ‘She is Niall’s good friend. They are only friends.’

CHERYL AND LIAM: IS A BABY FINALLY ON THE WAY?

So where is Celine? We’ve not seen hide nor hair of her since her and Niall went public and it seems fans of the Irish star appear to have made up their minds about their relationship status.

‘Ok so what happened to Niall and Celine? That hype lasted like 2-3 days,’ one fan tweeted. Another added: ‘Honestly that Niall and Celine thing died so fast I forgot it actually happened smh.’

Okay wtf is going on on twitter? This picture is going around even though multible people stated it’s fake and #ohNoNiall is trending. Why?? Were some fans pissed that drama was happening somewhere else or what?

If we’re talking about Neline, then yes, I did notice that too.  They did the same thing with Louis and Danielle in Mexico, although Zayn and Gigi’s kiss was either a fully visible real kiss or possibly photoshopped.

Niall may not have kissed Celine on the lips, but he definitely did on the cheek at least.  He’s never had nearly so much physical contact with the people they’ve paired him up with.

The thing that gets me about them being at the festival is that there was no Twitter chatter about Niall with a girl, acting coupley, or kissing someone before the story broke on Monday.  There also don’t seem to be any fan pics or videos of them in the crowd.  Maybe there are now, but there definitely weren’t when I checked on Monday.  Of course there aren’t a lot of fan pics of him from other days there either.  

I can’t tell who she follows because I can’t follow her.  I guess there’s a site that shows who follows who, but I’m too lazy at the moment to look up all the usernames and put them through the system, so I’ll take your word for it that she follows them.  I checked the people that I could check who ping to me as big players in Niall’s life and friend narrative.  I don’t recognize anyone from the Portugal trip except Gilly, so I don’t know about the others. 

I’m just a bit surprised Deo and Willie haven’t followed her.  In Deo’s case he’s definitely been seen with her and in Willie’s case he and Niall spend 90% of the time together, so it wouldn’t be a stretch for people to assume they’d hung out by now.

I remember in previous fauxmances, various members of Niall’s family and friends ended up following and interacting with the girls on social media, although the majority of that might have taken place over Twitter.  I’m still not sure there’s an account we’re 100% positive is Celine’s on Twitter.  All the ones I’ve seen were created quite recently.  The earliest was March or May this year.  Since Niall isn’t following anyone that looks like her on Twitter and neither are the friends or family I’ve mentioned, I don’t think we know yet.

I’m sure they’ll leverage social media follows and interaction to make the relationship look more natural if we get to that point.  It’s better to do it gradually so that they can get a big reaction out of every new one rather than doing it all at once.  Also, like you said, she hasn’t been seen with some of these people yet, so it makes more sense that they haven’t followed each other.  Then again, I found out Denise follows Briana who I can’t imagine she’s ever met, so...

They did a big article just about Celine with her pics all over the header today in the Daily Mail, so I’m curious as to how this benefits her.  Ostensibly she’s going into law, but it seems like she must have some connection to the entertainment industry for them to be featuring her the way they’ve featured the others in the past.
