Since he left, he's had lots to say about them and his time in the band... but nothing as final and ruthless as his most recent comments.
While covering this week's issue of Billboard, Zayn confesses that he doesn't talk to a single one of them anymore.
“Our relationships have definitely changed since we were in a band together, but I think that’s just life. Everybody grows up; two of the guys have got kids now. But no, I don’t talk to any of them, really.”
Ouch, our hearts.
Considering that he was so close with them once upon a time (especially Louis Tomlinson), it's hard to hear that he has zero contact anymore.
He also revealed in the mag what it was like to work with Taylor Swift on their hit song "I Don't Wanna Live Forever."
“I felt like she was the right artist for the song. And of course she’s also a massive artist, so that brings its benefits. I get to let her fans know that I’m doing this kind of music, and she lets her fans know she likes my kind of music — there’s no opposition, for real.”
