Zayn Malik and Perrie Edwards break up is now official as Zayn has called off his engagement to the Little Mix singer. The former One Direction star ended the pair's relationship two weeks ago, leaving Perrie "devastated", a source has confirmed.

"She's been putting on a brave face as Little Mix have had promotion to do, but she's obviously devastated," a source told People magazine.

"Perrie's being supported by her bandmates," the source added, "but she's really in pieces about this."

The two got engaged in August 2013 after a little more than a year of dating.

News of the Zayn Malik and Perrie Edwards break up comes less than one week after Malik revealed that he had signed with RCA Records following his decision back in March to part ways with the popular boy band.

"I guess I never explained why I left , it was for this moment to be given the opportunity to show you who i really am! #realmusic #RCA !!" the 22-year-old singer wrote on Twitter last week, posting a shot of himself signing the contract.

Aside from cheating rumors, Malik was constantly “flip-flopping from wanting one thing to the other," a source explains to Us Weekly citing his decision to part ways with One Direction in order to live a normal life and to be with Edwards, only to then dump her and start a solo career after she stood by him.

“He’s sure showing the real him now,” the insider sayid. “He can be such a great, caring guy, but right now, he’s losing all the good people around him who have been with him a long time and supported him from the beginning.”

Following Malik's 1D exit, Edwards was attacked by Directioners who believed the 22-year-old pop star was to blame for their breakup.

Zayn Malik and Perrie Edwards break up is a complete shocker to their fans as Perrie squashed any speculation about the pair being over at the time when she appeared with her bandmates on the Capital London Breakfast Show with Dave Berry and Lisa Snowdon.

Rumors of Zayn Malik and Perrie Edwards break up first sparked when Zayn was pictured in a close embrace with Lauren Richardson in March, but both of them have always denied anything happened.
