Yesterday news broke that Zayn Malik and Perrie Edwards had called off their engagement and had decided to go their separate ways after nearly 3 years together.
It appears though, that the decision to split wasn’t a mutual one and the move to call off the engagement came from Zayn.
The two got engaged in August 2013 after a little more than a year of dating. The pair met during filming the British reality show, The X Factor (in which BTW, Perrie’s Little Mix girlband competed after Zayn’s then band, One Direction).
We have learned though that the split did not happen last night, but actually an entire two weeks have passed since Zayn broke the news – and her heart.
The news comes four months after Zayn was rumoured to have been cheating on Perrie while on a band tour in Thailand and his sudden departure from 1D leaving millions of fans’ hearts broken (and Perrie under attack for being blamed for making Zayn leave One Direction).
E! Online has the first interview with Perrie since the split was announced. Perrie and her bandmates from Little Mix did an interview and of course the breakup was addressed.
