Zayn Malik Explains Why He Liked Louis Tomlinson’s Baby Pic: He’s Cute As F*ck

Stop the presses — Zayn Malik just gushed about how adorable his former bandmate’s newborn baby is! The bad boy ex-Directioner admitted in a new interview why he decided to show his support to Louis Tomlinson on social media — and his reason was simply amazing.

Zayn Malik, 23, surprised us all when he took to social media on Jan. 27 to somewhat congratulate his former bandmate Louis Tomlinson, 24, on becoming a dad. The ex-bandmate then elaborated on the event during his visit to a morning talk show on Jan. 28. It’s true what they say, babies always bring people together — thanks baby Freddie!

We have to hand it to Zayn, it seems like he truly tried to make amends with his former bandmate Louis. The One Directioner who went rogue, opened up in a new interview about the reasoning behind “liking” Louis’ photo of baby Freddie. We have to first point out that Zayn happened to like this pic, right after the music video for “History,” dropped which showed the 1D boys during happier times. Any way back to the new interview, Zayn told Dave Berry during the the Capital London Breakfast Show that he has no ill will for Louis. “Obviously I wish him the best of luck,” he told the host. “His kid is cute as f**k so obviously I favorited it.” How sweet!

The singer went on to add that the pair aren’t talking though, so giving a giant “favorite” was a big step. “We’re not talking on friend terms obviously, so that’s as far as I can go, by favoriting his picture.” He also added, “We’ll see if I get an invite [to visit the baby].” We would love to see that happen ASAP!
