Flirting accusations

With regards to Perry's statement about her being a mom to Horan, the “One Direction” singer also answered that she is not much older than him since they only have a nine-year age difference. He even made fun about Perry as if she talks like she is already 55 years old. Meanwhile, Perry further shared that Horan wants to date her out and she feels like it’s a lot awkward.
