Interactions

An iconic friendship that ended going up in flames. Louis and Zayn always shared a special bond throughout their time in the band, both confirming they were the closest to each other. Onstage shenanigans, interview games, matching tattoos and twitter banter, they were the fun friendship everyone craved. However, tensions between the pair seemed to grow during Zayn’s split from the band in 2015. During interviews after his departure, Louis seemed reluctant to speak about him, and then came the infamous twitter war with naughty boy, confirming everyone suspicions that the two weren’t on great terms. Years passed until the tragic death of Louis’ mum Johannah in 2016. Just after her passing Louis was due to sing his new single for the first time and requested that all the boys come to the show. While Harry, Liam, and Niall were in attendance, Zayn didn’t know. In interviews after Louis did reveal that this hurt him immensely. But flash forward to 2020 and the BUS1 tattoos. Louis and Zayn back in the time of the band got matching BUS1 tattoos and it seemed as if Zayn had been letting his fade. But in a photo released for his new single “Better”, it appears that Zayn has had his tattoo touched up. Not a day later and following Baby Malik’s birth announcement we saw Louis, who had recently followed Zayn, liked the announcement. While these aren’t major moments it's enough to reignite our Zouis hearts and spur the hope that the two have reconnected somewhere along the road.

Serving us what feels like daily is our king Liam Payne. The only member to actively still talk about the band, he’s an open book. His livestreams on both Tik Tok and Instagram give us unknown insights into all things one direction still now 5 years since we last saw them together. Over the past week we’ve seen him listen to Harry’s “dream with me”, congratulate Zayn and Gigi for the birth of baby Malik, watch a Draco edit and even encouraged Niall to “strip that down”.
