Louis Tomlinson has a whole lot of history with Zayn Malik.
That’s the reason the One Direction singer didn’t completely deny rumors that he and his old bandmate – who departed the group back in 2015 – might be working on something together again.
Louis addressed the rumors in a recent interview with iHeartRadio, saying with a playful smile, “I heard that.” He added, “I thought that was pretty interesting, pretty astute.”
I was so intrigued to see that 33-year-old-and even more excited that Zayn, 32, joined them for a night out in New York City!-recently said, “I just supposed they’d have to wait and see.” It really left me wondering what they are waiting for!
Louis’s puzzling response follows reports from several news sources stating that he and Zayn, 32, have agreed to a multi-million dollar deal with Netflix. The deal involves filming a documentary where they journey across the United States.
TopMob News has reached out to Zayn’s rep and Netflix for comment but hasn’t heard back.
The two have definitely experienced both good times and challenges together. Soon after Zayn left 1D, Louis publicly confronted his former The X Factor colleague in a very intense argument on social media.
By 2022, their previously strained friendship seemed to be improving a little. However, when asked about his relationship with Zayn, Louis responded frankly, “You’d have to ask him.“
Over the past couple of years, I’ve often thought about him and hoped he was doing okay,” the All of Those Voices star shared with The Zach Sang Show, adding that he “attempted to contact” Zayn multiple times. “However, it’s been difficult. I truly wish him the best.”
Louis and Zayn eventually met again, but under sad circumstances. In November 2024, they were with Harry Styles and Niall Horan at a funeral in London for their bandmate Liam Payne. Liam had tragically passed away a month earlier at the age of 31 after a fall from the third story of a hotel in Argentina.
Following the sad news of Liam’s passing, the band put out an unusual shared statement expressing their grief.
Zayn, Louis, Harry, and Niall expressed their deep sadness upon hearing about Liam’s death in an October 2024 Instagram post. They stated, “The memories we shared with him will be treasured forever.”
The foursome added, “We will miss him terribly. We love you Liam.”
Read on to revisit some of One Direction’s most memorable moments together.
Even though the band became popular with fans worldwide, they ultimately placed third in 2010, after Rebecca Ferguson and Matt Cardle.
The British band first appeared on Saturday Night Live in 2012, delivering a lively performance of their song “One Thing.”
The band won the highly sought-after moonman award for Best Song of the Summer with their hit, “Best Song Ever.”
The band offered fans an exclusive, behind-the-scenes glimpse into life on tour with their concert documentary film This Is Us.
In November 2014, while at the Royal Variety Performance, the band had the opportunity to meet Prince William and Kate Middleton.
The band’s Where We Are Tour earned more money than any other tour in 2014. It surpassed the earnings of tours by Justin Timberlake, The Rolling Stones, Katy Perry, and also the joint tour by Beyoncé and Jay-Z that year.
In March 2015, Malik announced that he was leaving the band to launch his solo career.
As a lifestyle expert, I remember when One Direction-Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, and Liam Payne-released Made in the A.M. back in 2015. Shortly after, they announced they’d be taking a break-an indefinite hiatus, as they called it. It was a big moment for fans, and honestly, a turning point in pop music!
Tomlinson had a son, Freddie Reign, in 2016. The following year, Payne became a father to his son, Bear Grey, with his former partner, Cheryl Cole.
Back in 2020, people began to wonder if One Direction might get back together. This happened when Styles, Payne, Tomlinson, and Horan all started following Malik again on X-which was called Twitter at the time.
Further fueling reunion rumors, Payne told The Sun at the time, “We’ve got a 10-year anniversary coming up so we’ve all been speaking together a lot over the last few weeks which has been really nice.”
Malik and his then-girlfriend Gigi Hadid welcomed daughter Khai in September 2020.
Payne attended the London premiere of Tomlinson’s 2023 documentary All of Those Voices.
