What Has Niall Horan Been Up to Since His Back-to-Back Victories on The Voice?
The Voice Season 28 Coach is returning to the big red chair after wrapping a worldwide tour.
Niall Horan is officially returning to the big red chairs on The Voice — and he’s surely ready for another victory.
It’s been a minute since the One Direction star charmed viewers with his Irish accent, delightful banter with his fellow Coaches, and his magnetic appeal with The Voice Artists. Reba McEntire, who’s also returning as a Coach on The Voice Season 28, has certainly been smitten with him. “If I had a daughter, I would want her to marry him!” the country legend previously said on The Voice. “Oh my gosh, I love him.”
Horan has won The Voice twice: Season 23 with Gina Miles and again Season 24 with Huntley. So what has he been up to since then? Read on to find out.

What is Niall Horan doing now?
Beyond returning to The Voice as a Coach for Season 28, Horan is now 31 and has released three solo studio albums as of 2025.
In 2017, the Irish singer-songwriter released his debut solo album, Flicker, followed by his second, Heartbreak Weather, in 2020. He released his third album, The Show, in 2023. For most of 2024, Horan was on a worldwide tour for his latest album, performing in the UK, Europe, New Zealand, Australia, North America, and South America.
“I had the absolute best time on this tour and miss it already,” Horan wrote on Instagram in December 2024, adding that performing a “mashup” of his song “Small Talk” and Stevie Nicks’ “Edge of Seventeen” was one of his “favorite songs to perform each night.”

Niall Horan’s girlfriend Amelia Woolley inspired many songs on his latest album The Show
Horan and his girlfriend, Amelia Woolley, have been together since 2020 and the singer revealed to Entertainment Tonight Canada that she inspired him to write "happier" love songs for his latest album, The Show.
“Usually it’s the love songs are heartbreak songs, so it’s nice to be able to write better, you know, more happier stuff,” Horan told the outlet in 2023 (via TODAY), adding Woolley was surprised by his songs. “I think she’s just like, what? Really? She’s like, taken aback, I suppose.”
One of the most romantic songs on Horan’s newest album is certainly the track titled “Must Be Love,” which proved to be a singalong hit with fans while he was on tour.
Niall Horan likes to live a “simple life” when he’s not working
Sitting down with GQ in 2023, Horan addressed a Reddit question about why there’s rarely any “tea” on the singer in “gossip pages" and explained that despite being a world-famous musician, he's a simple guy.
“I try and live a simple life when I’m not working,” he said. “I’m always playing golf, and, like, having pints and things like that. And when I work, I work.”
Indeed, Horan really loves to play golf in his free time. In an April 2025 interview with Under the Umbrellas, Horan shared that he fell in love with the sport when he “was very young” and hopes to play against Harry Styles soon.
