Liam Payne and Sophia Smith Mobbed Outside Tiffany's: Shopping for Engagement Ring?

Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.Poor Liam Payne and Sophia Smith - the couple were mobbed by fans and paparazzi during a recent NYC shopping outing to Tiffany & Co.

Sadly, it looked like Liam and Sophia barely had breathing room as they were snapped in pics with heads down just trying to trudge through the mob. Some fans even reportedly chased after Liam's car, yelling at him and flipping him off for not stopping to take the time for autographs and pics.

That's such a shame that these guys can't just go and do regular things like shopping without getting hounded. And then to get slammed for not stopping for the fans?

And, of course, another Liam and Sophia engagement rumor started swirling because they were shopping at Tiffany's...with Sugarscape reporting that bookies are offering odds that a Christmas proposal could very well be happening.
