LONDON – Zayn Malik is reportedly reuniting with his former One Direction bandmates a decade after leaving the group in 2015. The connection comes in the wake of Liam Payne’s death last year, which insiders say has brought the band members closer together.
Zayn is now listed as a business director on PPM Music Limited, alongside Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and Niall Horan. A source told The Sun, “While heartbreaking, Liam’s passing has brought them together. It’s even more sad he was the biggest cheerleader of a reunion.”

Since Liam’s death, the band members have reportedly been in regular contact, discussing both personal matters and the legacy of One Direction.
Zayn and Louis Tomlinson, who recently signed a multi-million-pound US deal reflecting on their lives and memories of the band, have also grown close again. Zayn recently gave Louis a shoutout after attending his Los Angeles concert, signaling renewed friendship after years of tension.
