Greg Horan’s Relationship With His Famous Brother Niall Horan

Greg Horan and his brother Niall Horan do not have a “perfect” sibling relationship, i guess nobody does. However, the One Direction star, Niall, and his brother Greg have a strained relationship. The sibling’s relationship reportedly became strained since Niall rose to fame with the boy band One Direction. Things got bad between the siblings to the extent that they were reportedly not on speaking terms.

A close family source claimed: “Greg has been jealous since Niall’s first X Factor audition and always believed he was the star of the family. He can’t handle living in someone else’s shadow and is now looking for an agent to try make a name for himself away from his brother.” The source added that Greg’s aim is “to reach a point where people will know who he is without having to include a picture of Niall on his profile”.

Another source said: “Greg’s skint and recently lost his job. “He has reached out to Niall for help several times but heard nothing back.” Greg once shared tweets including “I wish I was dead”, and “I’ve been rejected by Niall since November 2010” but later, it was deleted and Greg claimed his account had been hacked. Greg once took to social media to ask his followers to stop asking him how his brother Niall is.

“Does anyone ask Niall around the world how Greg is?” Greg asked. “Do me a favor,” he said. “Go ask Niall how Greg is.” Greg mentioned that he was sick of “living in the shadow of someone who doesn’t care about me,” adding, “All people do is ask me about Niall. I don’t need Niall,” Greg declared. As of 2023, it is unknown if Greg and Niall have been able to work things out or not.
