Liam Payne has opted for a dramatic new hairstyle after splitting from his fiancée earlier this month. The One Direction star, 27, debuted his new blonde hair via Instagram Stories on Thursday (June 17) in one smoldering snap before sharing a clip of himself shirtless while lying in bed. As well as his new blonde hair, the singer appears to have partially shaved off one of his eyebrows but decided to keep his brown beard. He captioned the video of himself: "Night guys, thanks for all the love." <img class="wp-image-1263113897" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/06/Screen-Shot-2021-06-18-at-16.43.58.png" alt="Liam Payne." width="480" height="830" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Instagram / Liam Payne]] As per the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-9700209/Liam-Payne-debuts-platinum-blond-hair-following-shock-split-ex-fianc-Maya-Henry.html">Daily Mail</a>, news of the star's new hairstyle comes after he shocked fans at the beginning of June by announcing that he had broken up with his 21-year-old fiancée Maya Henry because he needed to "work on himself". He made the revelation to Steven Barlett, on the Diary of a CEO podcast, saying that while he was now single, he felt bad for "hurting" Maya. The pair were first speculated to be dating back in 2018 following the 27-year-old's high profile split from fellow singer Cheryl, 37, with whom he has a four-year-old son called Bear. Liam said on the podcast: "I feel like more than anything at this point, I'm more disappointed in myself that I keep on hurting people. "That annoys me. I've just not been very good at relationships. And I know what my pattern of things is with relationships at this point. "I'm just not very good at them so I just need to work on myself before I put myself on to somebody else." <img class="wp-image-1263113896 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/06/Liam-1.jpg" alt="Liam Payne and Cheryl Cole." width="600" height="829" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Alamy / REUTERS]] The singer continued: "That's where I got to in my last relationship. "I just wasn't giving a very good version of me anymore that I didn't appreciate and I didn't like being. I can honestly say I feel better out of it. "I didn't feel good doing what I did but it had to happen. Just a corny way to say it was the best for us both." Liam proposed to Maya with a £3million engagement ring in August last year after two months' of dating. Since the split, she has been spotted without the diamond while out with friends in West Hollywood, California. <h6>Featured image credit: Alamy / DPA Picture Alliance</h6>
