Zayn Malik has made a rare comment about his ex-fiancee Perrie Edwards by revealing why he believes they split.
The singer, 31, dated Little Mix star Perrie, 30, from 2012 to 2015, but admitted that before that, he had never “brought a girl” home and said he didn’t really know much about life.
He said Nylon magazine: “I was committed and [planned to get] I got married and I didn’t know anything about anything at the time. I was legally allowed to do everything, but I didn’t know it.
The outlet suggested that he wanted to “recreate the normal youth” that fame had taken from him after becoming part of One Direction in his teens.
Zayn went on to have a daughter, three-year-old Khai, with his ex-girlfriend Gigi Hadid, but in 2021 it was revealed that they had “distancing” amid tensions with the model’s mother, Yolanda Hadid.
Zayn Malik ‘didn’t know anything about anything’ when he was engaged to Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards and hinted he wanted to recapture his youth after they split in 2015.
The singer rose to fame as part of One Direction on The X Factor in 2010 and met Perrie (pictured) in 2012 after she won the same competition with Little Mix.
Perrie currently has a two-year-old son, Axel, with her fiancé Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and has often shared snaps of herself and the youngster.
Meanwhile, the Pillowtalk singer returns this Friday with his fourth solo album Room Under The Stairs, and has revealed that he’s always making songs and could have a follow-up on the way in the not-too-distant future.
In an interview with, he said, “I don’t want to reveal too much, but I’m working on a lot of music, and I might even release another album very soon.”
The Pillowtalk singer can create a tune in a day and some of the tracks on the follow-up to 2021’s ‘Nobody Is Listening’ go back a few years.
He said: ‘I like to jump from one thing to another. For me it’s quick: I have a good vibe, I write a song in two or three hours and I’ll have it all ready that same night.’
The country-tinged album is inspired by Tennessee Whiskey singer Chris Stapleton.
Zayn shared, “I was practically on my farm having a glass of whiskey and listening to some Stapleton by the fire with my dog, playing guitar.
These days, Perrie has a two-year-old son, Axel, with her fiancé Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and has often shared snaps of her and the youngster.
Zayn and Gigi initially dated from 2015 to 2018 and after a brief split, they reconciled, only to split again in 2019, before reuniting in early 2020 and welcoming their daughter Khai.
The Pillowtalk singer welcomed daughter Khai with ex-girlfriend Gigi Hadid in September 2020 before the couple ended their romantic relationship for good in October 2021.
The former One Direction star, 31, returns this Friday with his fourth solo album, Room Under The Stairs, and has revealed that he is always making songs and could have a follow-up on the way in the not-too-distant future.
Zayn Malik officially announced his new album called Room Under the Stairs in March and it will be out this Friday.
The former One Direction star, 31, has been teasing fans for the past week, but now he has shared a major update.
Zayn (far right) recently admitted that he “didn’t really make any friends with the band” but now wants to reunite with them (pictured alongside LR Liam Payne, Niall Horan, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson on The X Factor in 2010) . )
Zayn, who recently admitted that he wants to reunite with his bandmates despite never getting along with them, added: “I’m proud of it.” I think he demonstrates a certain level of intellect, being a little ahead of the curve.”
Country is big in the mainstream right now, with artists like Beyoncé, Lana Del Rey and Post Malone leading the way.
However, the What I Am singer insists it’s a coincidence that he’s releasing a country record when the genre is hot.
He said: “People need to know I didn’t jump on the bandwagon.”
