Singer-turned-reality TV show judge Demi Lovato has dismissed reports suggesting she and One Direction member Niall Horan are an item, insisting she has no time for romance. The new X Factor mentor has been linked to the Irish star for weeks and now she has batted away the speculation, insisting she considers the singer nothing more than a "really good friend." She says, "He's really sweet and he's one of my really good friends now. I am single at the moment and I plan to be for a long time, because I need to focus on my career and myself and my well-being before I think about getting in a relationship."
