London, Sep 15 (IANS) Singer Niall Horan says he is baffled by ongoing speculation over his love life as he has no "time" for a girlfriend.

Horan prefers to relax with his friends when he is not working and admits he's too lazy to go looking for love, reports dailymirror.co.uk.

"I try to go and see my friends but that's easier to do than go out with a girlfriend. I couldn't be bothered, and it's pure laziness on my part. Travelling around the world and all the promo that we do - it doesn't leave time for a girlfriend. It really doesn't," he said.

Horan was recently linked to singer-actress Demi Lovato.
