Rita is always emphasizing how she is only pals with Liam but for the internet and tabloids, it seems otherwise. She recently opened up about how frustrating she finds it when she is linked with every guy she is photographed with, romantically. She said,

She also says that she sees people as people regardless of gender. However, in the case of Liam, she is quick to shoot down any rumors or speculations of them being anything more than friends.
