Zayn Malik and Perrie Edwards split: Former One Direction star 'lost and lonely'

Zayn Malik is having a hard time in his love life after splitting with Perrie Edwards. The former One Direction star had recently called off his engagement with the Little Mix singer.

"Zayn has been kind of all over the place with his emotions," a source told Hollywood Life. "He's been up to his bad habits, like partying too much, and that makes him feel bad about himself. Perrie always had a way of making him feel good about himself and now that he doesn't have her to lean on, he's kind of lost and lonely."

"[Zayn's] been trying to to talk to her, but she's gone radio silent on him," the insider added. "The chances of them reconciling are pretty slim considering he totally broke her heart."

Malik and Edwards started dating in December 2011 after meeting on the set of The X Factor. The couple who got engaged in August 2013, were reportedly planning to get married at Disneyland Paris in June.

After five years with the group, Malik announced he is quitting the British boy band in March. One Direction fans had blamed Edwards for the 22-year-old singer's decision to quit the boy band. Meanwhile, in an interview with E!, Edwards was asked how she is doing after the split, to which she replied: "I'm good, thank you."
