"Is this TRUE???"

One Directioners' collective gasps about this update could probably be heard on the other side of the globe. It's a feasible probability, considering the wildly famous band's huge fan base, which stretches across many countries and continents.

As such, each of the 5 members' lives are closely followed by devoted 1D fans, including, of course, the goings-on in their love lives.

In Niall Horan's world, it appears his romance with model Barbara Palvin is rosier than ever. In fact, he's reportedly planning to bring his stunning Hungarian girlfriend back home to meet his parents.

Gasp! Are you officially, truly in love Niall?

The London Evening Standard reported that a source told the Daily Mirror that the singer is simply taking the next step after he had introduced "Babs" to his friends and got their seal of approval.

"This will be the first time he has taken a girl back home to meet his whole family. It's really exciting, he can't wait for everyone to meet her," the source said.

The 20-year-old British heartthrob had first sparked rumors of a romance with the stunning model when they were both seen watching 'Hunger Games: Catching Fire' at a cinema in Belsize Park in North London, The Mirror revealed. Barbara appeared to confirm things when she tweeted this message to Niall: "Hunger Games buddie."

According to Mstars, this is a "big step" for the young couple as it comes at the heels of the Irish hunk's own mother's revelation back in December that the two were really dating.

"Everyone that he poses for a photograph with or spends any longer than a few minutes with, he's said to be dating," said Maura Gallagher, Niall's mom. "You have to ignore the hype because you'd go out of your mind if you believed everything that was written."

It appears that Niall wants to reassure his mother by formally introducing his love to her and the rest of the family. Looks like this One Direction member is truly in love! What do you think, readers?
