Niall Horan has left fans surprised by sharing the real meaning behind the ring he wears all the time.

For the unversed, the 32-year-old singer wears a silver ring which has an ‘X’ engraved on it. That is a band he wears most of the time.

One Directions fans have always that Niall wears the ring to make himself stay connected to One Direction and to always make himself remember his career break, which he got from X Factor in 2010.

It is believed that all 1D members including Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson got ‘X’ tattooed on their ankles as some kind of pact.

But, Niall, due to his fear of needles never got himself inked. This is why fans assumed that he got himself the ‘X’ ring.

But in a recent interview at The Tommy Tiernan Show, the Dinner Party singer finally disclosed the meaning behind the ring.

Niall opened, “This is the ring that my girlfriend got me in a year of us being together. Underneath, it has the coordinates of where we met, and it says ‘X’ for it marks the spot. That doesn’t leave my finger.”

He further added, “I’ not even married and I’m afraid to lose it.”

Fans are surprised with the latest revelation as they kept on assuming it was from the 1D days.

“I thought the “x” went with the 1D boys ankle tattoos. But since he doesn’t have tattoos he got the ring”, wrote an internet user.

Horan has been dating businesswoman Amelia Woolley since 2020. They now live together in a London home with their pet dog.
