Zayn Malik and Perrie Edwards

Zayn Malik and Perrie Edwards — Former couple Zayn Malik and Perrie Edwards, who both found fame on the UK X-Factor, were one of our favorite couples of the early 2010s. The pair began dating in 2012, shortly after their respective bands One Direction and Little Mix found global fame. One year into their relationship, they got engaged in August 2013, but sadly called it quits in July 2015, shortly after Zayn left One Direction.

After their high-profile split, Perrie wrote in Little Mix’s book Our World, that, “It was horrible, the worst time of my life. A four-year relationship, two-year engagement ended by a simple text message. Just like that. Even though things my career were going really well, it was incredibly difficult for me.” Meanwhile, Zayn has been dating model Gigi Hadid on-and-off since 2015, and after rekindling their relationship in December 2019, it was announcing in April 2020 that the pair are expecting their first baby.
