Zayn Malik, Perrie Edwards End Engagement

Zayn Malik and Perrie Edwards have ended their engagement.

News that the couple had decided to go their separate ways first emerged on Tuesday night. Just hours later, Edwards, 22, appeared to confirm the split during an appearance on E! alongside her Little Mix bandmates.

Just a couple of hours after rumours emerged, the host spoke to Edwards, saying: "Perrie, obviously I know it's a very tough time for you with the news breaking today about you and Zayn, so your fans, I know, are heartbroken."

Edwards replied: "I'm good, thank you", before her bandmate Leigh-Anne Pinnock cut in and told the host: "We don't really want to talk about it."

However, despite the singer's claims that she is "good", a source is quoted by The Sun newspaper as saying: "To say Perrie is fuming is an understatement. She's absolutely livid.

"After all she's been through. She's stuck by him and been his rock – and this is how she's been repaid. Perrie thought the relationship was the best it's ever been, so to split up now is really hard to take.

"She'd been planning their wedding presuming they were going to spend the rest of their life together."

Another source told The Mirror: "It came out of the blue. Perrie has stood by Zayn through some really dark times, but it all came to an abrupt end last month. It's taken her a while for her to accept that it's over – she's heartbroken."

Malik, also 22, and Edwards first met in 2011 on the set of The X Factor – the former One Direction member was appearing on the show with the band, while Edwards was a contestant on the series.

They confirmed their relationship the following year, but shortly into their romance, it was claimed that Malik had been unfaithful. Edwards chose to stick by her partner, but they were again hit with infidelity claims – the most recent being in March 2015.

He was pictured with his arm around another woman, later named as Lauren Richardson, following a night out in Thailand. While he – and Ms Richardson – insisted nothing happened between them, Malik announced just a few days later that he was to leave his band One Direction. It was later confirmed by his bandmate Liam Payne that he had left the band for Edwards.
