Zayn Malik hints he 'fell out of love' with former fiancée Perrie Edwards... as he admits solo album is about their romance

They have never revealed the exact reason behind their split last year.

And now Zayn Malik has hinted that he ‘fell out of love’ with former fiancée Perrie Edwards in his latest magazine interview.

Speaking to Complex magazine about how many songs on his new album were about heartbreak, the former One Direction star said: ‘There’s a lot of falling in love and a lot of falling out of love. It's probably 60/40, falling out of love.’

Explaining that his record, Mind of Mine, definitely covered the topic of pain in relationship, the 23-year-old stated: ‘I feel like you get creative with things when you can be honest.

'If you’re in a really good place, you can write a really good, upbeat song. When you're in a s**t place you can write a downbeat f**king ballad! That's just the way it is.’

Zayn famously called time of his relationship with Perrie just weeks after he left the chart-topping boyband in March 2015.

The handsome singer is now dating American supermodel Gigi Hadid and the singer also opened up about doing his best to maintain a normal relationship with Gigi away from the spotlight.

And Zayn also insists that the hot young couple weren't trying to put on a show while shooting his racy music video for Pillow Talk, the lead single from his new solo album.

The chart-topper left fans around the globe heartbroken when he sensationally announced he was quitting the five-piece band - the richest boyband in music history - in March 2015.

In a statement released to MailOnline at the time, the singer said: 'My life with One Direction has been more than I could ever have imagined.

'But, after five years, I feel like it is now the right time for me to leave the band. I'd like to apologise to the fans if I've let anyone down, but I have to do what feels right in my heart.'

He continued: 'I am leaving because I want to be a normal 22 year old who is able to relax and have some private time out of the spotlight.'

Within minutes of the news being announced, the star's name was trending on Twitter as the heartthrob's fans mourned their pop idol's departure.

Reactions ranged from heartbroken, to compassionate to angry, but the overriding emotion was devastation.
