Their relationship drew media attention because of the five year age gap. They met while they were on The X Factor , but Rebecca stated that "It took a while before we looked at each other in a different light. There was no one particular moment, it just evolved. I wish him all the best. It was just a wrong idea from the start. It did end quite badly, so we don't talk any more. We're not in touch at all.

The footage contained Zayn criticizing One Direction's official merchandise, stating that both the band and the fans were growing tired of it pandering to a much younger audience, devoid of any artistic creativity.

Louis received media backlash for apparently using racial slurs. No member of the band has ever publicly commented on the incident or the video, but Liam offered an apology on their behalf on Twitter. Throughout Zayn's four year relationship with Perrie Edwards, numerous allegations of his infidelity were speculated on by the media. While nothing was ever directly confirmed, pictures of Zayn asleep in bed, taken by a waitress he reportedly slept with, were leaked onto the internet in The reports caused Zayn to lash out on Twitter stating "I'm 22 years old I love a girl named Perrie Edwards.

The next day, Zayn was signed off from One Direction's world tour and a week later he announced his exit from the band. In his November Fader interview, he said the incident did not lead to his decision to leave, stating "The two things never really coincided in my mind. As is the case for Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson , many One Direction fans created a conspiracy theory about Zayn being in a hidden relationship with fellow bandmate Liam Payne.

Speculation began based on their behaviour towards one another. In numerous interviews, Zayn showed specific knowledge of Liam and his family suggesting they spent the most time together. Until , Liam was the only member Zayn remained in contact after leaving the band. When Zayn's engagement to Perrie was addressed in one particular interview, Liam stumbled over his words saying "I don't think [the wedding] will happen I think you'll Many speculate that because One Direction and Little Mix both shared the same management , and both bands were created by Simon Cowell , that Zayn's relationship with Perrie was perhaps built for publicity, as well as a cover-up for Zayn's alleged relationship with Liam.

Fans noted how a scandal involving Perrie would usually make headlines when One Direction was releasing something new, and how Zayn would constantly be mentioned in Little Mix interviews. Fans and media outlets alike initially speculated the same about Zayn's relationship with Gigi Hadid. Zayn had a brief working relationship with producer Naughty Boy real name Shahid Khan from early to mid The tension was reported to have risen between One Direction and Naughty Boy after they did not feature songs produced by him on their album Four , after collaborating throughout Zayn appeared close with Naughty Boy, even purchasing custom made 'Naughty' tracksuits with him in Louis Tomlinson called him out, tweeting "Wow NaughtyBoyMusic you're so inconsiderate pal, seriously how fucking old are you?

Grow up! Naughty Boy responded by leaking a rough version of an unfinished solo Zayn song titled I Won't Mind.

In May , another Twitter fight between Tomlinson and Naughty Boy erupted, after Naughty Boy responded to an Instagram post by Liam, which stated he had found a replacement fifth member. Naughty posted a photo titled "Replace this" onto Twitter, which Louis promptly insulted. Naughty Boy responded by saying Louis couldn't sing and used autotune.

The fight concluded when Zayn addressed Louis, tweeting "Remember when you had a life and stopped making bitchy comments about mine?

In July , after Naughty Boy leaked Zayn's cover of Rae Sremmurd's song No Type, along with a music video he secretly filmed in January prior to exiting 1D , Zayn cut ties with Naughty Boy, tweeting " NaughtyBoyMusic you fat joke stop pretending we're friends, no one knows you.

In August , Zayn deleted his Twitter account after receiving constant racist attacks and accusations of infidelity. I'm kind of chilled out, laid back. I consider myself very lucky, essentially - I was put into a pop group even though my musical taste was very niche before. Now that we have a bit of money, it is nice to get gifts for people.

Before I was getting and not really giving. I was a bit of a handful when I was a kid because I was quite hyperactive. Even in the house my mum used to put me in my pram because I was so full-on. We didn't really expect to achieve anything outside of the UK, and it just went crazy.

It's just crazy that people know our music. We're just humbled by it. Honestly, like, American football is not that big over in the U. I did know that he was, like, a massive football player. He's a massive star, so I was still a little bit anxious and nervous to meet him.

I do feel like I've missed out a bit because I was really close with my sisters when I was at home. It must be weird for them but they cope really well. I've got three sisters, five aunties, and my mom. It must have had an influence on me growing up. I think people I'm close to find it absolutely crazy that I'm famous. Whenever anything went wrong at home, because I was the only boy, I would get blamed for it straight away.

Girls stick together. I believe that your religion should be between you and whoever your belief is in. When we were in Sweden, there was a fan that hid in a bin.

I think one of the security guards saw and tried to take her out, and she went a bit crazy and started tackling them. View agent, publicist, legal and company contact details on IMDbPro. Getting Started Contributor Zone ». Edit page. Create a list ».
