While some celebrity friendships come and go, others are able to stand the test of time. Thankfully, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson’s friendship belongs in the latter category. Despite the drama between some of their former 1D bandmates, Cosmopolitan notes that Tomlinson and Horan have remained supportive of each others’ careers. For example, both Horan and Tomlinson publicly congratulated each other upon the release of their respective solo albums. When Horan released “Heartbreak Weather” in 2020, Tomlinson tweeted “Massive congrats on the new album mate!! @NiallOfficial.” Horan responded in kind, tweeting, “Love ya bud, thank you!!!” Similarly, when Tomlinson came out with “Walls” in 2020, his band buddy tweeted, “Let’s get Tommo right up the charts. This album is quality and deserves to be up there @Louis_Tomlinson.” Aww!
The love and admiration doesn’t stop there, either. In a 2019 interview with BUILD Series, Tomlinson admitted that if he could be any celebrity for a day, he would want to be his good friend Horan. “It just sounds so stress-free,” Tomlinson shared, when discussing the reason behind his choice. “No drama, lovely lad, never gets himself in trouble, it’s easy, it’s a good life.” Tomlinson may have been opposed to One Direction’s split, but the breakup hasn’t negatively impacted his relationship with his former bandmates. “I think we’ll always have that love and respect for each other,” he said, via BUILD Series.
