Outlets including Metro are picking up a report that claims One Direction heartthrob Harry Styles is dating singer Lily Halpern.

According to the original New York Post story, Styles and Halpern have been “seeing each other for a few months” and, according to so-called “sources,” they are “getting quite serious.”

Running with the rumor, Metro’s headline blares: “Harry Styles breaks One Direction fans’ hearts with new US girlfriend.”

Except Metro failed to pick up on one crucial piece of the original story: Styles’ rep shooting down the Halpern buzz and saying flatly, “Harry is single.”

Oops.

Despite not having a girlfriend for the tabloids to target, Styles made quite an impression on “Saturday Night Live” with his band mates over the weekend.
