It has been 10 years since Zayn Malik left the famous boy band One Direction in a shocking way. Now, at age 31, Zayn is reportedly ready to rebuild his friendship with his former bandmates – Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, and Louis Tomlinson.
Zayn left the group in 2015, saying he was under too much stress. After leaving, he had a successful solo music career. But now, he wants to apologize to his old friends from the band and become friends again with them.
Some inside sources say Zayn is trying to find the best way to contact the other members. He knows it may be awkward and uncomfortable at first, but he is determined to rebuild the close friendships they once had.
Zayn’s main goal is to become friends again, not to reunite the band or make music together. He first found fame on the TV show The X Factor in 2010 when he was just 17 years old.
Over the years, Zayn has faced personal challenges like an eating disorder and severe anxiety, which caused him to cancel some solo performances. However, becoming a father to his daughter Khai with model Gigi Hadid has helped Zayn mature and become more responsible.
Recently, Zayn said he regrets not enjoying his time in One Direction enough and taking things too seriously back then. He admits he is now able to be happier, has accepted himself more, and has learned to love himself.
