Although Zayn Malik, 22, is apparently moving on with a new girl after breaking off his engagement to Perrie Edwards, 22, she doesn’t really seem bothered…probably because she has a friend like Harry Styles, 21!

Zayn has seemingly moved on from both his ex-band One Direction — whose album Four you can buy here — and his ex-fiancee Perrie, so what better way for both of them to show him what he left behind by banding together? Once Zayn had the nerve to post a picture getting cozy with a new blonde (and Perrie look-alike!) girl, an insider tells us Harry immediately stuck by Perrie’s side!

“Harry has reached out to Perrie to offer his support. He thinks what Zayn did was disrespectful and not cool at all,” a source revealed to HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. “He says he would never ever do that to an ex and make it so public for the world to see. It’s just mean and inconsiderate. He told Perrie to stay positive and to focus on herself and her music.”

How sweet! Perrie has already admitted she is actually flirting with new boys herself, but it’s great to hear she has such a supporter in Harry. In fact, Harry has been there for Perrie since the breakup happened, calling her to make sure she was okay after Zayn broke her heart. With his latest comfort to Perrie, Harry just keeps continuing her prove his loyalty to her — and we totally love it!

Especially with the help of Harry’s comforting words and support, Perrie seems to be doing better than ever despite Zayn flaunting a new girl. Another source even said that she wants to tell Zayn’s mystery girl that she “can have him”! Sounds like Harry is giving Perrie some courage to really shut Zayn down. What a team they make!
