Taylor Swift `dating`ex Harry Styles’ best friend Ed Sheeran

Ed-Sheeran-Taylor-SwiftLondon, Mar 1 : Taylor Swift is said to be dating one of former boyfriend Harry Styles' best pals, Ed Sheeran.

According to the Sun, the couple had a secret romance last March before breaking it off to focus on their careers.

Now they have rekindled their passion in recent weeks.

They are said to have grown close after 23-year-old Taylor split with the One Direction singer.

English singer-songwriter Sheeran, 22, even got a tattoo on his arm as a tribute to Swift's album `Red.'

However, he went on to say that they are just good friends.

"Taylor has always loved Ed to bits. He's just an adorably sweet guy who makes her laugh and feel really confident," a source said.

The two spent the night together before last month's Brits awards, according to reports.

They stayed up talking until 4am at Swift's London hotel. (ANI)
