it's funny people use that audio from over a week ago (most think it's from like yesterday lol) and claim it's solid confirmation. niall never confirms being in any relationship and when he's asked about barbara he pauses and then stutters out that they're friends. but right after when they ask about demi levato he easily says nope just good friends. like we don't know what narbara's status is for sure, but people do really settle for anything to ease their minds.
