One Direction's heartthrob Harry Styles may break the hearts of his young girl fans as reports reveal that the singer likes older women.

Many irked and raised their eyebrows when rumors of his fling with TV presenter Caroline Flack surfaced. Caroline is 15 years older than Harry. However, it was revealed that Caroline is not the first older woman he had as his girlfriend.

According to Sunday Mirror, Harry enjoyed a short-lived romance with radio DJ Lucy Horobin who is 14 years his senior. The young singer captured the heart of the married woman after One Direction appeared in Lucy's radio show on the Key 103 in August 2011. Styles was said to be flirting with Lucy during the radio show.

It was reported that the two shared a three-month long covert relationship before Harry jumped to his new May-December affair with Caroline.

"She knows she shouldn't admit it but said the sex was amazing. He knew exactly what he was doing despite the fact he was only 17. He's adorable and Lucy had a lot of fun. But it was never anything serious. It was a mistake." said Lucy's close friend to a newspaper.

This is supported by Harry's friend who said, "Lucy was right up his street, exactly the type of girl, or woman, should I say, he is attracted to. She's sexy confident and is doing well in her career. But he never wanted anything serious."

During the course of Harry-Lucy relationship, Lucy was still living with her husband but they were living separate lives. However, when the relationship was over, Lucy broke up with Styles and said that she wanted to make things work with her husband.

Lucy, who has now left Key 103 and has since moved to Heart South Coast is said to be still together with her husband, who she married in the summer of 2010.

However, both parties declined the request for comment about the issue.
